So what do I mean by don't listen to the losers?
We are in a fast paced society and when it comes to weight loss, it can never happen fast enough. When you hear about someone who lost 30 lbs. in 30 days, you think they are amazing and you want to emulate everything they did to get the same results.
Now that is an exaggerated weight loss but what about the person who dropped 30 lbs. in 12 weeks. That's a more realistic number and a very healthy amount of time to lose weight and in fact we've had numerous boot campers do just that.
But a lot of times what happens with fast weight loss is that the weight comes right back on 6 months down the road if you don't pay attention.
So don't always assume that the person who lost a ton of weight in a short period of time has all the answers and you should model after them entirely.
The people you need to be searching for and modeling your actions after are the ones who have lost the weight and kept it off for a period of 1 year or more, ideally 3-5 years! They have learned to make health and fitness a part of who they are and it's a lifestyle now, not just a short term goal.
In the video below I am speaking to a group of the Wealth For My Health contestants about this very topic and how to avoid gaining all your weight back after you've reached your weight loss goal.
