So many people are struggling through the same things. You are doing everything you can, sticking to your workout routine and eating healthy, possibly for the first time in your life. You can see your goal weight coming off in the distance, but you're not there yet.

I bet you'd love to know what reaching your goal weight will feel like. If so, I can tell you from experience that it is an exhilarating feeling. I lost over a hundred pounds to reach my goal weight. There is a tremendous sense of accomplishment that you have been able to focus on your body so that it is healthier and leaner. The decision to change your lifestyle has lead you down a path to regaining a healthy fat-free body.

Once you reach your goal weight and have put in months or years of hard work to get there, it is likely you will probably continue on your merry way eating healthily and maintining the active lifestyle that has gotten you where you are now. Without doubt you will have learned that you do not want to go back to the life you just escaped from.
