Tyler COLUMNISTS/GUESTS: January 2015 & [email protected] Fiona Young-Brown Editor, Health&Wellness Magazine Is it a sign of aging that I find myself wondering where last year disappeared to? It all went by so quickly, and here we are in 2015 already. Now admit it – have you already given up on your New Year’s Resolutions? If so, you’re not alone. Studies show that a third of all who make resolutions give up within a month; fewer than half make it to Dr. Wesley Johnson Family Practice Associates of Lexington, P.S.C. the six month mark. But if you have fallen off the exercise or diet train, there’s no time like the present to hop back on again. Don’t let one or two not-so-great days derail your potential long-term progress. In this issue, we look at what is no doubt a preoccupation for many of you (myself included) right now: weight loss. We offer tips on how to find the healthy eating plan that’s right for you and how to beat that exercise boredom. Ever considered INSIDE THIS ISSUE John A. Patterson MD, MSPH, FAAFP belly dancing? Maybe you should. Don’t fall prey to the marketing fads. You don’t need this diet shake or that weight loss supplement. And the gimmick that offers dramatic weight loss in less than five minutes a day? Don’t believe them. Instead, learn what is right for you, your body, and your lifestyle, and join me in working toward a year of excellent health! Fiona Willie B.
