Top 5 Weight Loss Mistakes Boulder Ride Residents Make

Are you unhappy with your current weight loss program? Have you been trying to every gimmick and yo-yo diet on the market? If you are jumping from one weight loss strategy to another and still finding that none of them work for you then maybe one of the five Boulder Ridge weight loss mistakes listed below are the reason why. Weight loss should not have you stressed and unhappy, you truly need to find a program, follow it, and conquer it! Take a look below at the Top 5 weight loss mistakes.

1)You Quit Too Soon. Lack of commitment and motivation to reach your weight loss goals can be a huge part of your failure of the weight loss program. You are tempted to cheat here and cheat there and ultimately not following the diet as designed. If old eating habits are not changed and you just give up and think you will be able to out train your diet. Unfortunately, I am here to tell you first hand that you can never out train a poor diet.

Not only do you quit the nutrition part of the weight loss program, but you might even slack off on your resistance training program at any sign of muscle soreness or fatigue. Training your muscles is always going to cause some initial soreness, but once you get by the initial soreness, you will see that it is the best decision you have ever made.

2) Unrealistic Time Frames. Often times people set weight loss goals that are realistic in the long term, but not in the short term. This is why it is always intelligent to set measurable short and long term goals. It is easy to say "I am going to lose 20 pounds in two weeks" however; it is not healthy and in most cases a very unrealistic time frame. Weight loss can be very frustrating and those who make the huge mistake of setting unrealistic and unmeasurable goals tend to fail more times than not. Weight loss is not that easy, there is a system that needs to be put into place and like anything that is good, it takes time, effort, and dedication. It is also important to remember that the benefit of exercise is not losing weight alone, but to form a better and healthier lifestyle.

3) Constant Repetition Without Change. If you have been following your Boulder Ridge, IL weight loss program for several months and have seen some results but have hit a plateau, it is time for some small tweaks. This does not mean changing just your eating, but your resistance training and cardio vascular program too. A lot of people enjoy repetition and do not like change, unfortunately for them; change in a weight loss program is good. Our bodies are amazing machines and are able to adapt to almost anything, therefore, we need to constantly be changing and confusing it to work harder and change you will see that when you confuse your body, it causes it to work harder and ultimately change for the better.

4)Negative Attitude. Exercise and healthy eating should not be perceived as punishment. Exercise and healthy eating are great for your heart, your body, and your overall well being. If you have always been overweight and unhappy, you should perceive exercising and a healthy diet plan as a way to make a positive change in your life and above all a reward to better yourself. Not only will you be more healthy, you will gain confidence, raise self esteem, and enjoy a more clean
and plentiful life.

5)Unrealistic Goals. As mentioned above in the "Unrealistic Time Frames" section, setting unrealistic goals is one of the biggest weight loss killers of Boulder Ridge residents. When you are setting goals it is so important to set "short term" and "long term" goals. With your "short term" goals you want to set weekly, monthly, or ever bi-monthly goals. These are small and attainable goals that help you see change and progress in your weight loss journey. Your "long term" goals can be set more in quarterly, bi-yearly, and even yearly goals. These are the larger more extravagant goals. The great thing about using them both in your weight loss program is you are able to accomplish many "short term" goals on your way to the end result. Don't be the person that sets "long term" goals with "short term" time frames. There is no "magic pill." Weight loss takes time, effort, dedication, and a lifestyle change!

Before blaming yourself or the weight loss programs with the frustrations you have experienced, be sure to check out the above mistakes and see if maybe one of them is the reason for your failed weight loss results.
