The Problem With Your Timeline

Lose Weight Now
I've always noticed, it's the people who "want" to lose weight that tend to be the most motivated to get weight off. That being said, people who are driven to look their best for a vacation, a swimsuit, a reunion, etc. seem to be more committed to results. The good thing in their case is they have found great motivation. The potential downside is the body rarely responds the way the heart and mind desire. Let's say you want to lose a modest and realistic 15 pounds in 10 weeks. By most accounts, that isn't too much to ask for. The problems creep up when your body just isn't "ready" to drop the weight. Some people become more desperate to drop the weight and go for more extreme and drastic measures to see that magic number on the scale or fit into that dream pant size. From literally hundreds of clients I have had the honor to work with, only a handful have been able to lose a significant amount of weight in a short timeframe. The more time you can give your body to adjust to a better diet, a formal exercise regimen, and a healthier lifestyle the better it will adapt and be less likely to rebel. When you get fast results in short time, your body has a greater potential to fire back with less than favorable results no matter how hard you train or how extreme your dietary measures become. Equip yourself with time, patience and consistency to the "plan" to get the results you deserve.
