9. Be accountable.

Perhaps the greatest motivator of all is allowing others to see your log. That's why I like using PeerTrainer, although other good logs (such as Fit Day, Spark People, Calorie Count, etc.) can also be used this way. Get a partner or a small group that monitors each other's logs, and you'll be very motivated to eat well and exercise.

讓別人來監督你。

也許最大的動力，就是讓別人看你的減肥日志。這也就是我用PeerTrainer這個軟件的原因，雖然別的軟件（像Fit Day，Spark People，Calorie Count等等）用著也不錯。找幾個減肥的伙伴，或者加入某個減肥小組，然后彼此互相監督，這樣你會有更大的動力去吃得更合理、鍛煉得更努力。

10. Find a workout partner.

This is accountability done right. A good workout partner is someone who wants to workout at the same time as you and do a similar workout, and someone whose company you enjoy. Why it works: if you set an appointment with a workout partner, you won't want to miss it. You'll make sure you're there, unlike when you work out by yourself — many people are very tempted just to cancel their workouts if they're a little tired or busy. Also, a workout partner makes the workout a little more fun, and that's always a good thing. If you get a workout partner, you will have a stress-free exercise plan that will compliment your healthy eating perfectly. Try for 3-5 workouts per week, giving yourself plenty of rest time after hard workouts.

找個人一起戰斗。

這一點被證明是很正確的。一個好的伙伴，應該是和你在同一時間做同一種鍛煉、而且你也愿意和他一起鍛煉的人。之所以有效，是因為你要是有一個伙伴一起鍛煉的話，你就不愿意爽約，一定會去鍛煉，這就不像你獨自鍛煉的時候，有時會偷懶——很多人在累了或者忙的時候，都會有取消鍛煉的沖動。而且，一個減肥的伙伴還能讓鍛煉變得有趣，這總是件好事（相比一個人鍛煉的枯燥來說）。要是有一個人和你一起鍛煉，你在鍛煉的時候就不會有壓力，再加上你健康的飲食，減肥的效果就會變得完美了。每周好好鍛煉3-5次，然后充分地休息。

11. Allow yourself to cheat.

A strict diet plan is a bad one. If you are severely restricting yourself, and you feel deprived of good foods, you won't last long. Trust me, I've tried it many times. Instead, relax a little bit, giving yourself a cheat meal or two each week, and allowing yourself to cheat a little on special occasions. It's still best if you can go for the healthier foods on special occasions, but don't be too strict.

偶爾自我欺騙一下。

一個條件苛刻的食譜不是一個好的食譜。如果你過度地約束自己，覺得所有的好吃的都不能吃了，那樣你的減肥也不會持久。相信我，我經歷過好多次這樣的事情了。相反，稍微放松一點兒，一周吃上一兩回好吃的東西，在一些特殊的場合自己騙一下自己。當然，在那些特殊的場合吃得健康點更好，但也別對你自己太苛刻。
