Losing weight can be difficult!

Commonly, building up the motivation to stick to your workout plan is the most challenging part of losing weight. Here are a few ways you can keep yourself motivated and committed to your weight loss goals.

Be Clear on the ‘Why’

The first thing you need to be clear on is the reason you want to lose weight. Understanding why you want to lose weight in-itself will help motivate you to stick to your plan. A lack of clarity on the ‘why’ will make it easy for you to slip away from your commitments.

Set Realistic Goals

Be realistic when setting goals. Are you really going to lose 3kgs a week? Set long term goals with milestones along the way. Work toward your long term goal in increments and celebrate the milestones along the way.

Nobody’s Perfect!

Except for the super humans out there, the rest of us slip up… Sometimes. Be kind to yourself. If you slip on a Saturday night drinking a few more carbs than you should, or have a complete blow out and spend the weekend on the couch eating ice cream, it’s OK! People have a tendency to want to throw their diet and work out plans out the window after one little slip up. It happens to all of us, just pick up the next day and continue with your plan.

Have Fun

Not everyone loves hitting the gym. You can also try other activities that you enjoy. Maybe try Rock Climbing or a round of tennis and when you do, invite a friend. Working out with others can motivate you to stick to your commitments… not to mention, a lot more fun! 

When all else fails…Get help! 

If you’re finding it difficult to stick to your plans, especially in the beginning you should consider getting a Personal Trainer. Personal Trainers are a great way to give you guidance, support, keep you to task and ensure you celebrate the small milestones on the journey to you goal weight.
