Jessica Simpson Weight Loss

"My advice to anyone who is starting their journey in weight loss is just to start," Jessica Simpson says in a new video, which features outtakes from her Weight Watchers ad. "Just to know that you're worth it and that you get a new beginning. We all deserve that." 

The singer—who has been working hard counting Weight Watchers points, working out four times a week, and using a pedometer to log 12,000 steps each day—says that she didn't make a New Year's resolution this year. For her, every week of her weight-loss journey is a new beginning. And each week comes with a new goal.

We couldn't love this approach more. While pie-in-the-sky goals are more wishful thinking than fuel for change, small, actionable ones can help keep you motivated and give you a game plan—so you end up achieving that big goal you've got your eye on. 

So are you ready for your new beginning? Here are some healthy weight-loss tips and motivation strategies to help you get started:
