"If losing weight were easy, we'd all be slim," says John P. Foreyt, Ph.D., professor of medicine and psychiatry at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. He adds that finding a diet buddy is one of the best ways to make the process more doable. Today, connect with a pal who has similar goals and vow to keep each other honest. Set gym dates and swap healthy-cooking ideas. You can find a diet partner at the Self.com forums or My.Self.com and log how often you check in with each other.
