Hi everybody,

One thing I have learnt from my experiences in the Local Weight
Loss Challenges is this:-

Having a goal to loss weight is one thing, but having a realistic
plan to reach that goal is another thing.

You may have heard it said that if you want to lose weight, place a
slim photo of yourself from years ago on the fridge so that you can
see what you use to look like.

Or similarly, keep a pair of jeans that you use to fit into and put
them somewhere visible so that they are within your sights everyday.

Nothing wrong with this concept. VISUALISING and being clear about
our goals is the first step to achieving them.

But what seems to discourage a lot of people is the not knowing
just how long it will take for them to achieve their goal weight.

For many people, as well as for myself in the past, we have used ‘
guess work’ for wanting to achieve our goals.

Without a REALISTIC PLAN and some realism, having weight loss goals
can end up going nowhere and virtually stay as a ‘wish’.

Many people get scared to make a serious commitment just in case
they don’t reach their goal.

When participants join our Local Weight Loss Challenges, it does
not take them long into the challenge before they realise that it
is harder than they first thought.

This is where commitment and seriousness need to exist.

I find that participants become very disappointed when they
struggle to stick to new habits learned.

This is the point in the challenge where the participants can allow
themselves to become discouraged and disappointed.

In a nutshell, when people have a hard time seeing themselves
accomplishing things, they tend to give up.

As with anything worthwhile, learning the necessary new habits to
reaching your goals are the important thing.

Weight Loss Challenges are about breaking down the concepts that we
need to learn into bite size pieces so that we can begin applying
them with success.

There is NO HYPE to keep you in, just realistic learning.

If you are serious about weight loss and you need some assistance
and support, join our Online 12 Week Weight Loss Challenge, set
some goals and apply some new habits from week to week.
