Stay Motivated and Reach Your Weight Loss Goals

This article is supported by Herbal Magic

It’s not a secret that most of us want to find a way to lose weight, to get in shape and just feel healthier inside and out. This is a common battle for so many people and while it would nice to have weight loss in a bottle, it’s not a realistic long term fix.

Finding the support and the right solution is the first step in starting your journey to reach weight loss goals.

One company that I’m hearing more about, Herbal Magic, is a leading weight loss company based out of Canada. They don’t hand you a bottle of pills with false promised of a fast weight loss. Herbal Magic teaches you how to start losing weight, how to eat healthier and they check in on your progress to help you with the motivation to reach your weight loss goals.

Over 40,000 people lose weight with Herbal Magic every year!

So what are some other ways to get motivated and stay on track?

  • Commit Yourself – Join a 5k race for a charity with your friends. It’s hard to blow off commitments and when they are made with an effort to help a charity, you are more likely to stick to it.
  • Create an Awesome Music Playlist – And don’t allow yourself to listen to it unless you are working out.
  • Hang Up Your Motivator  – Find a pair of jeans or an outfit that you haven’t been able to wear in a long time. The visual motivator will help give you a daily reminder of why you are in this to win it.
  • Support Groups – Just like those with Herbal Magic, find support forums, Facebook groups or even call a friend who has the same weight loss goals and gab about your day, talk about new recipes and and even swap one.
  • Stay Away from Bad Influences  – Certain foods, places and friends who make unhealthy choices can be a negative factor when trying to lose weight. By staying away from these things, you can help keep your attitude in a more positive direction.

What are some of your motivators to help you stay on track with your goals?

    these are all great tips but the #1 thing that motivated my husband and i to stay healthy and fit was to be educated about what we were really putting into our bodies. Once you are educated you wont ever want to put those processed, unhealthy, practically not even food anymore items in your body. once you eat clean and healthy the extra fat on your body melts off like that. i recommend watching hunger for change and fork over knives on netflix and following the blog foodbabe.com very great way to start getting educated.

    Great tips! Thanks for sharing them. I always have a hard time with limiting myself. If I limit myself then what ever I am cutting out becomes what I want more then anything.

    A motivator of mine is my grandsons. I want to be able to keep up with them and enjoy activities together. Another motivator is my clothing. I want to fit in my nicer looking pairs of pants that I outgrew.

    I try not to have things around that distract me. IE: poor food choices. So now if I crave something It’s just NOT THERE!

    Staying away from trigger foods is huge for me. One taste of ice cream and I am binge eating for the whole day. :/

    Your post made me realize that I need a support group. My weight goes up and down and right now it is “up”. I need to be more consistent and get a support group to do healthy activities with. I also have to stop taking my son to pizza buffets and that kind of stuff! Eek!
