People who are almost at goal....

Dont stop, the end is right there. It is just like when you are working out you have to push yourself that little extra bit well use that for eating and everyday choices too. I always give up and i am not doing it now. I want to see when i can take this body instead or wishing and dreaming I am doing it.

I did this once before, it was an amazing feeling finishing. And being healthy.

What did you do to push yourself to this point? How did you make it as far as you have? If you look back at my history, I'm good for a few days, then fall off the wagon, then hop back on and fall off....... (with all this wagon jumping you'd think I'd lose something.)

I know what to do, eat less, workout more, but how do you find the motivation to get that started when it seems like it's going to take forever to make any kind of noticable change?

Thanks,

Just remind yourself, even at your goal weight, that it is a journey, not a destination as even when you are at your original goal, set a new one (not necessary weight loss, maybe related to performance) once that is met make a new goal, that way you keep going after something.

This statement is generally wrong. I say this because the majority of the time, the closer to your goal, the MORE you have to eat. From my experience, when you reach a goal, you set a new one or a different one. if you reach your weight goal, change your goal to altering your body composition (lose body fat & inches instead of weight); and in many case will still give you that appearance of losing. This is actually the point I am at. I am working to decrease my body fat but maintain my weight.


Also, you don't necessarily have to push yourself harder but you just need to be a bit smarter. What I mean, is change up your workout routine (make sure you have weight training and cardio; 3 days each is suggested) and change up your diet, either with zigzag'in calories or change ratio of carbs, protein and fats. This, too, has helped me when i plateau'd. I will note, I have a 90 day goal. Once I reach that 90 days, I set a new goal.
