Yes, I am guilty as charged. It is just so hard to resist all of the holiday goodies. Whether it be turkey and mashed potatoes or one of many irresistible desserts, the holidays are a time when we eat a bit more than we might normally. After the indulging though, I always feel slightly guilty, and that is when I begin to think about a plan to shed a few pounds in the new year.
Luckily I have a little help getting my plan in gear for the new year. Thanks to alli and Let’s Fight Holiday Fat, I am confident that I will be able to find a plan that is just right for me, and hopefully one that I will stick with. There are plenty of tips and tricks available (which I definitely need!). I love that I can customize the plan for my needs.
When I signed up with Let’s Fight Holiday Fat (it is free to join!), I started creating my own program. The first step was to choose which type of exercise I want to do. Since I cannot do anything rigorous, I chose the Yoga/Pilates option:
Next I chose when I want to start (I will be starting mid-January), I entered my weight, height, age, and my goals. By filling this out, I found out how many calories I am allowed on a daily basis. It couldn’t be easier! They even have a low-fat vegetarian option.
I really love that you can ask questions and get answers from other members too. It is a really helpful community, which is very important for support when trying to lose weight.
I am SO excited about the exercise routines on the website too. Not only do they have oodles of suggestions, but there are videos to show you how to do them properly. They also list how many calories will be burned by doing a particular exercise! I think though, that my favorite part of the Let’s Fight Holiday Fat website is that it gives me a daily schedule. I tend to stick with programs that have everything spelled out for me. In addition to the daily schedule, I can choose to see my weekly schedule, which will allow me to go shopping and have everything I need in advance for my healthy cooking for the week.
Let’s Fight Holiday Fat features:
- Follow-along fitness videos (which include cross training, yoga/pilates and more!)

After trying a variety of diet plans over the years (some more successfully than others), I am ready to make a change for good. Not only will I look better but I will feel better. Now that is something I am looking forward to. With this program, I kind of feel like I have a personal trainer to keep me on track. I am so excited with all that the “Let’s Fight Holiday Fat” program has to offer and I know with their help that I can do this!

About Jennifer-admin
I’ve heard of but in such a big family have still not known anyone that has actually tried this. This gets rave reviews though! I don’t have my “mindset” for this yet, as of course EVERY year vow to not only lose but just get healthy. I like that it’s a total support program too and not just a product.
Yes – that is what I love about it too. I have heard good things, and I think I am going to give alli a try. The support will be fantastic!
I’m working on health and fitness this year, too!! Good luck! It always helps to have support!!
I can’t wait to see your progress on it. Thanks for the motivation!
Good luck with your goals! This reminds me a lot of Spark People, which I used in 2011 to lose 25 pounds. I’ll be going back to it this year to lose my most recent baby weight. Yay for getting healthy!
I’ve never heard of Spark People before! Good luck with your goals too!
I deff indulged in too many holiday sweets this year. I could really use a good diet pill especially one with an exercise plan!
I love that their site has videos to show the exercises being done correctly. Sometimes I wonder if I’m doing them as effectively and efficiently as possible, so that’s a big bonus!
Yes! I have this problem too – I always wonder if I am doing them right!
I’m on a mission to complete this weight loss goal, I hear great things about it.
Lossing weight is my goal this year so this is perfect.
I hate holiday fat!! I am definitely interested in the custom calorie and activity tracking features. I will check it out. Thanks!
Actually, I began eating healthy in August 2012 and lost 25 pounds, so I will find this useful as I continue to reach my goal
That is awesome – congrats!
