I always get to a certain point where I’ve almost met my goal, and then I lose total interest... I’m really making an effort to not let that happen this time. I welcome any suggestions.

    Buy some nice clothes in your goal size and hang them on your bedroom wall.

    Put a picture of yourself at your highest weight on your refrigerator.

    Join an active group in real life, whether it's being a coach or learning to play tennis or joining a bike club.

    Is this the law of diminishing returns at work? We all start out for a reason. I had a fairly long list. But my back and knees quit hurting about a half way to goal. My blood pressure went down. I was working hard at the gym. But that was only at about the 2/3 point. Is something like that going on with you?

    In the end I made a point of getting to goal because it was my goal. No matter how many weight loss rewards I had reaped, I still had that nagging voice. I hadn’t closed the deal.

    Summon some determination and get there. Determination is what sees a project through to completion. Its the only way out.

    I used to do that all the time.. lose and start looking good..then almost purposely sabotage myself. Or, it seemed that way. I finally broke the cycle this last time and lost everything. .. I can't say exactly why.

    I think dieting and getting fit was a big part of my life. If I got to my goal, I'd have to fill that part of my life with other things that needed done. I think regaining and staying in the diet cycle was an excuse for me not to move on with work goals and life goals.

    When I realized that.. I made a change .. now I'm at my goal..and I work to maintain.. but I put that diet obsession energy into my business and personal travels and life goals now..

    I have a better all around balanced life. It isn't always just about trying to reach a number on the scale. .
