Yet again this week I am amazed at the success that some of our contestants for the Smallest Winner weight loss challenge have had. What a truly amazing group of participants. I am not only motivated by their performance but also humbled.
Let's face it, weight loss is difficult, I personally have had the challenges of ups and downs. A big hurdle for this group and anyone else trying to loose weight is to keep it off. At the end of the day there aren't any "magic pills" or fat free soups, just a mathematical equation that is unique to each person. Finding that equation can sometimes be difficult and then adhering to those numbers is a challenge.
So why does weight have to go up? My guess is that we get lazy and don't monitor it each and every day. Seems like long term successes go to those who truly make a lifestyle change. It's no different then locking the doors at home when we leave for the day. If we turn the concept of maintaining our ideal weight into the analogy that it is like locking the doors on a daily basis, or some other analogy that works well, then it seems as if it can be accomplished.
