Take a luxury weight loss vacation

If you're looking to get started on a weight loss program but need some inspiration and help getting started then maybe a luxurious weight loss get-away is just what you need. You'll get to travel to a beautiful resort and meet with a team of experts, including doctors and trainers, who will not only analyze your physical health and design a special plan just for you -- but they'll give you a beautiful and structured environment to do it in. And once you've finished burning calories by hiking through the hills or spinning in the gym you can relax with a luxury massage spa treatment and gourmet chef-prepared meals.

The downside is that this kind of "luxury weight loss resort" will cost you a pretty penny -- upwards of $6,000 or $7,000 for a week's stay at some -- so for most of us it's probably more than a little unrealistic.
