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.

让别人来监督你。

也许最大的动力，就是让别人看你的减肥日志。这也就是我用PeerTrainer这个软件的原因，虽然别的软件（像Fit Day，Spark People，Calorie Count等等）用着也不错。找几个减肥的伙伴，或者加入某个减肥小组，然后彼此互相监督，这样你会有更大的动力去吃得更合理、锻炼得更努力。

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.

找个人一起战斗。

这一点被证明是很正确的。一个好的伙伴，应该是和你在同一时间做同一种锻炼、而且你也愿意和他一起锻炼的人。之所以有效，是因为你要是有一个伙伴一起锻炼的话，你就不愿意爽约，一定会去锻炼，这就不像你独自锻炼的时候，有时会偷懒——很多人在累了或者忙的时候，都会有取消锻炼的冲动。而且，一个减肥的伙伴还能让锻炼变得有趣，这总是件好事（相比一个人锻炼的枯燥来说）。要是有一个人和你一起锻炼，你在锻炼的时候就不会有压力，再加上你健康的饮食，减肥的效果就会变得完美了。每周好好锻炼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.

偶尔自我欺骗一下。

一个条件苛刻的食谱不是一个好的食谱。如果你过度地约束自己，觉得所有的好吃的都不能吃了，那样你的减肥也不会持久。相信我，我经历过好多次这样的事情了。相反，稍微放松一点儿，一周吃上一两回好吃的东西，在一些特殊的场合自己骗一下自己。当然，在那些特殊的场合吃得健康点更好，但也别对你自己太苛刻。
