3 Keys to a Successful Weight Loss Challenge


Are you planning on losing weight in a weight loss challenge scenario? If so, you need to set yourself up for success. Before you set out your weight loss challenge, you need to understand three important keys. These keys will move you out of frustration to achievement.
1. Begin with the end in mind.
Having the desire to want to lose weight and get fit is one thing. But having a clear vision in your mind of what you want that experience to be like is another thing entirely. Successful professional athletes mentally rehearse what it will be like to pitch that perfect ball, sink that perfect putt or dunk that perfect basket. They go over the end result over and over in their minds so that by the time they do it, they know exactly what it will feel like. The same goes for losing weight and getting more fit. If you rehearse exactly what it will feel like to be at your goal weight size and how you'll look, you'll be more likely to hit the target. Visualize yourself achieving your end goal and it will be within your reach.
2. Gather a support network around you.
You can't expect to get anywhere if you don't have the support that you need. Weight loss and fitness are a personal journey, but it doesn't have to be a lonely one! If you can find people in your life or online who will be there to support and encourage you, you'll make it a whole lot further. Being accountable to other people is a great motivation for sticking with your eating and exercise program. You can also gain inspiration from other people who are going through the same thing. They can offer you words of encouragement and support as you encounter the bumps and missteps that are sure to happen as you try to lose weight and get more fit. They can help keep you focused on your goal and give you advice on getting back on track.
3. Make a firm commitment to yourself.
Getting fit and losing weight through a weight loss challenge can help you because you are focusing on your own success for a set period of time. You can mark out this time on your calendar and make a commitment to yourself. Promise yourself that if you stick with your eating and exercise plan for this period of time that you will see results. If you can make this commitment to yourself and stay focused, you *will* see the results you've been looking for. Support your decision to lose weight and get fit by making a commitment to yourself. You'll be happy that you did.
A successful weight loss challenge is one that is designed to support your goals and that empowers you to make changes to your lifestyle and habits. A weight loss challenge can revolutionize your life. You can rid yourself of bad habits, achieve better health and lose the weight that you've always wanted to.
