There will be challenges with any weight loss plan and you can guarantee that you will be tested to your limits with or without a weight trainer. Losing weight requires us to hold ourselves accountable inside and outside of the gym in order to meet the short and long terms goals we have set. Today we are going to share a success story of Bret Carter’s client, Jaime Kobs, who had less than six weeks to lose 40 lbs to fit into her wedding dress. Jaime is a mother, career woman and newlywed who took her body to the limit, mastered her inner workout diva and has become a success story for so many clients at Endless Possibilities Training Systems.

How many times have you started a workout plan and a week later stop because you’re sore, it was hard or you were down right lazy. Let’s face it, working out is tough, after all it is called working out. To keep your motivation with any workout program you have to find what makes you tick inside. It’s more than just finding out the “why” behind wanting to lose weight, now we have to find out the “what” that makes you push harder, commit 100% and keep those temptations of not working out at bay.

I have stated several times before within articles that finding like minded people that are also looking to achieve weight loss goals is a great tip to keeping motivated. Surrounding yourself with positive people can help push you to the next level

Everyday lazy people will find a way to make themselves feel better for not doing the work needed to live a healthy lifestyle. Lazy people will often call someone “obsessed” if they are 100% committed to working out and eating clean. It comes down to having the ability to tell yourself NO to crap food, saying yes to that extra set of push ups. People that do what is needed to be done regarding losing weight will start to see results of their hard work and want to work harder. They will apply discipline in everything in their lives as they realize with structure and dedication goals can be accomplished.

When results appear you become easy invested in pushing yourself further. It is ok to be obsessed about losing weight, running, lifting weights and such. Several people become obsessed with their job, children (Yes, we know your out there

Deciding to live a healthy lifestyle is more than just wearing workout clothes, owning a gym membership and saying, “I work out”.

As mentioned in Monday’s article knowing the “why?” of wanting to lose weight is needed for you to be 100% dedicated to a clean diet and challenging workouts.

May has finally arrived! How is that New Year’s resolution going? Several people will pick losing weight at the beginning of the year as they literally can start from scratch with the New Year. All that turkey, mash potatoes and gravy along with pumpkin pie that you consumed can be worked off, right? Having weight loss as a new year’s resolution will NOT make the bad food choices you make disappear overnight. The guilt of being unhealthy will still be there however having a fresh start is sometimes the best solution to successfully losing weight.

A large percentage will be able to keep the momentum going through January as weight loss is the top New Year’s Resolution. Finding likeminded people in your life with the same weight loss goals can and will keep the motivation going but what if you are losing weight alone? Some will slip up during Valentine’s Day (yes, typically women) because they find that the hallmark holiday presents a high temptation with chocolate all around. By March less than 25% of people who had a weight loss resolution are committed at all. Why do you ask? March madness and St. Paddy’s day has come and gone along with winter blues setting in.
