Your

Blue Blueprint for WEIGHT LOSS SUCCESS

More than 50% of Americans make resolutions each January. The most common one? You guessed it: To lose weight. You can stay on track and achieve your weight loss goals in 2024 with this blueprint for success.

Developing a Weight Loss

Mindset

Nutrition It All Starts Here

Your mindset directly impacts your actions and, in turn, produces results. With the right mindset, you may avoid slipping back into unhealthy habits. Here is how to develop a mindset to lose weight.

Food is the foundation of any successful diet. It provides your body with all the nutrients and minerals it needs to function best. Here is how to achieve your weight management goals while staying healthy.

Pick Your Diet Plan Focus on the foods and nutrients that best serve your body. This will be slightly different for everyone — but the goal is to establish a diet that works long-term. Our Licensed Medical Providers will prescribe an individualized diet plan based on your health history, lifestyle, and personal goals.

Meal Prep to Stay on Track

Stay Focused on Your “Why”

Set Realistic Goals

Identify Food Temptations

Don’t Do It Alone

Identifying your motivation to lose weight can sustain you throughout your journey. After you select your “why,” post it on the fridge, mirror, or cupboard so you will be reminded of it daily. Remember that your “why” may change over time, so re-visit, and revise your “why” to keep your motivation relevant and inspirational.

It’s common to make vague aspirational goals when we want to lose weight. However, a set of Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Bound (SMART) goals gives you a clear vision of what you want to achieve. These small steps will help you feel inspired and encouraged as you accomplish them.

Inventory all the people, places, or things that may derail your commitment to a healthier lifestyle. Identify when temptations are apt to arise. What environments, events, or emotions may make sticking to your diet difficult? For every obstacle you identify, consider possible actions to avoid or overcome that challenge.

Support is an essential part of a successful weight loss program. Enlist a family member or find a friend to join you in your walks or workouts. These people will become a source of inspiration, support, and encouragement when you need a boost of motivation.

Reframe Setbacks as Learning Opportunities There might come a day when you slip or cheat on your diet. If this happens, don’t label yourself or the diet as a failure. Ask yourself: What can you learn for next time? How can you get back on track? Take the time to understand what happened and use it as a chance to start again.

Incorporating

Healthy Air Fryer Recipes

Movement Into Your Routine

It’s no secret that regular exercise can have a positive ripple effect on your overall health. Exercise can improve your heart and bone health and boost your mood. It also plays a key role in weight management. Here is how to incorporate more movement into your routine.

AIR FRYER CAJUN SHRIMP

INGREDIENTS SHRIMP

16 oz. shrimp, peeled and deveined ½ cup green onions

¾ cup sweet red peppers 1 Tbsp water

Zero-calorie nonstick cooking spray

Put it on Paper

CAJUN SEASONING

A written plan will encourage you to stay on track. We encourage at least 150 minutes of exercise per week. You will want to incorporate a mix of exercises to improve your range of motion, strength, and endurance.

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp chili powder

Creativity Is Key

1 tsp dried thyme

Your workout routine should include various activities, such as walking or resistance bands. But don’t stop there. Take a weekend hike with your family or play pickleball. Find activities you enjoy to add to your fitness routine.

DIRECTIONS

1. Add shrimp to a bowl and toss with water and Cajun seasoning until evenly coated.

Start & Progress Slowly

If you’re just beginning an exercise routine, start cautiously and progress slowly. It’s better to start with a realistic goal that you know you can achieve. Once you do, you’ll build self-confidence and momentum and stay motivated to achieve your goals.

Make it a Habit

Triggers are one of the secrets to successful exercise habits. They are simply reminders — a time of day, place, or cue — that kick off an automatic reaction. They put your routine on autopilot, so there’s nothing to think about or decide on. Find ways to build them into your day.

How do I make my weight loss resolutions stick? The start of a new year is a chance to reflect and hit the reset button. But often, it’s not the goal that’s difficult. Rather, it’s sticking to it that causes people to fall off. There are two methods I’ve found to be helpful whenever I’m looking to accomplish a goal: Write It Down I like to write my resolutions down on paper and put them in a spot where I’m reminded of them each day. Individuals who physically write their goals down rather than commit them to memory are 42% more likely to achieve those resolutions. Set Mini-Goals People often ditch their goals if they’re too easy or far too difficult, so break down your resolutions into bite-sized targets to help you stick to them. I like to set myself a small goal each day of the week to help me achieve my resolutions for the month or year ahead.

Red Mountain taught me things I can use for the rest of my life. I learned how to lose weight and maintain my results with tools I could take with me. – Ashley N. lost 113 lbs.

Anna K.’s Life Is Finally Her Own Again My life as I knew it disappeared when COVID hit. I couldn’t volunteer at my son’s school, which brought me so much joy. I had hit rock bottom, and being overweight only made me more self-conscious. I stopped participating in family gatherings, going on dates with my husband, and avoided being actively involved in my son’s life. By the end of COVID, I was over 300 pounds. I had high cholesterol and suffered from Degenerative Disc Disease in my lower back, so I had a lot of unnecessary back pain. My doctor said I needed to lose weight and suggested weight loss surgery. That was the moment I realized something needed to change. I couldn’t be this anymore. I didn’t like who I was. I really didn’t. I was angry. I no longer recognized this person. I couldn’t look at myself. So, I decided to call Red Mountain Weight Loss® and find out what RM3® was all about.

My body and my life are finally my own again.

My energy is through the roof. I’m eager to get up, get out, and get moving. My perspective on food is entirely different. I’m finally making changes that will stay with me as I move forward.

I’ve always struggled with my weight and tried other diets in the past. I’d see a little progress and then it would level off. There was no help to get past that plateau. I didn’t have anybody to help me be accountable. Red Mountain wasn’t like that. They said we’re here for you for life. Knowing I had that support made all the difference.

Seeing the numbers on the scale finally start to drop was the breakthrough I needed.

I got excited to step on the scale each week to see how much weight I had lost. And as wonderful as the change in numbers has been, I was even more excited when my clothes started to fall off my new frame. First, one size, then another, and another. I’m back into sizes I haven’t been able to wear since high school (or even longer)!

SKIN RESURFACING

Everything You Need to Know What Is Skin Resurfacing?

Skin resurfacing is the process of creating minor injury to the skin, which rejuvenates it on a cellular level to trigger the formation of new healthy skin cells and increase collagen production to leave you with healthier and more radiant skin. These treatments make fine lines disappear, pores shrink, scars soften, and your skin will be noticeably firmer. Anyone can benefit from skin resurfacing treatments. The Medical Aestheticians at Red Mountain Weight Loss® will create your healthy skin journey that best suits your needs.

Treatment Options

We offer four popular skin resurfacing treatments:

ResurFX

PRP Facial

ResurFX uses non-ablative laser technology to improve fine lines, wrinkles, and skin tone. It is ideal for patients seeking a result-driven and effective treatment without downtime. ResurFX requires a series of three to five treatments to achieve optimal results and is safe for all skin types.

The PRP facial combines microneedling with your own Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) to increase the cell turnover process and heal the skin on a deeper level. The treatment is ideal for those with visible sun damage and uneven skin tone who want a brighter, more radiant complexion.

Microneedling

CO2 Fractional Skin Resurfacing

An automatic micropen produces microscopic channels to stimulate the body’s natural healing process. Microneedling can target superficial skin concerns like fine lines, enlarged pores, sun damage, and melasma. This treatment is also powerful enough to address scarring and stretch marks.

The CO2 laser is an ablative skin treatment addressing deeper lines, wrinkles, and heavier skin laxity and those with moderate to severe sun damage. Dramatic results are seen with one treatment.

Protect Your Investment!

It is equally important to use high-quality medical-grade skin care to achieve your desired results. The SkinMedica® Procedure 360 System™ is a comprehensive before and after procedure support system to get you the results you want faster than you’d expect. The kit includes five full-sized skin care products with higher quality and active ingredients to enhance treatment outcome and promote long-term healthy-looking skin.
