What is keeping you from losing weight?
 

Hey! I was just wondering what were reasons that you, or even other people, are having trouble lose weight. Is it motivation, time, money, or anything else? If you struggled for a long time but then succeeded; What did you change that helped you succeed?

I realized that a diet is a commitment.

Tips for Weight loss
 

There are many reasons eg, motivation, dedication, healthy diet, right guidance, and more. If you are unable to weight loss then I would suggest you to hire a personal fitness trainer he/she will give you guidance, diet plan, and exercises plans to keep moving towards your health goals.

My motivation came when my MD told me I'd be dead in 10 yrs or less if I didn't get a handle on my eating and lose weight. He then told me things I thought were healthy habits that were making my asthma worse and going against my medications. I've tried to follow his directions and to date have lost over 80 pounds since July of last year.

And the journey continues! Vicki

You're following a weight-loss eating plan. You're exercising almost every day. You're proud of the new healthy habits you've learned. Yet week after week, the scale barely seems to budge.

Oh my, yes.

From my experience if you have time and motivation mostly protein nutrition > cardio > and some supplements, maybe whey protein and universal animal cuts.

I lose weight, feel great, and then go back to emotional eating and gain it back and more.

I think a lot of people go through this.

What is keeping you from losing weight?
 

There could be a no. of reasons like :

People are too lazy to do the workouts.

They couldn't control their cravings for unhealthy food, so whatever exercise they do, it goes down the drain.

I believe it all comes down to one single factor - Motivation. Ask yourself why do you want to lose weight ? There has to be some reason, right ? Use that reason as a motivating factor.

I just can't do without oily and spicy food. That's the problem.

Heheheh good very good just continue....:)

heheheh very good just continue to work

Great progress, Vicki!

My motivation is initially my health and then I start feeling better after getting a few pounds off and it gets easier by the day. My problem is that over time I lose focus and start gaining it back.

Great progress thus far, Vicki! Keep up the good work.

My motivation starts as a health concern, and then, I begin feeling better and it gets easier. After a while though, I lose focus and start gaining it back. :rolleyes:

Know your body first
 

I think it's mainly the right guidance. Just doing lot of exercises may not be enough, exercises that worth it should be done and a proper balanced diet should be followed. Second one is that people are too lazy to do exercises. But there are people for those even exercises won't work. They will be only suitable for weight loss surgery such as liposuction. One of my friends got it done recently in a clinic in Toronto. Dr. Robert Backstein was her surgeon. Exercises were not at all working with her. So what I was trying to say is that you need to consult a doctor in the first place before you start your weight loss journey.

I dropped seven stones and then due to work and taking my eye off the ball put it back on, now its taking that first step getting back on the road.
