1. Willpower to start losing weight.

2. You keep making excuses to either start losing weight and/or stick with a plan you're on.

3. Having a lack of determination to never quit.

4. Not taking the time to plan your weight loss quest - sort of like a business plan - you will fail without it.

5. Not having an effective plan to successfully lose weight, burn fat, & get healthier. Hint...an effective plan is one that follows the basic core principles of a healthy lifestyle.

6. Listening to too many people with different ideas about how to lose weight. This will become confusing and ultimately drive you to quit all together.

7. Forgetting the importance of drinking plenty of water (a gallon a day is recommended for burning fat & weight loss), no matter what type of weight loss and fitness plan you are on.

8. No matter how many times you hear it, you still don't get the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep. A lack of adequate rest will cripple your weight loss efforts.

9. Eating excuses. Does this sound familiar...... "I'm too busy to make healthy food", "I didn't do food shopping yet", "I'm too hungry - this (healthy food) is not going to fill me", "I ate healthy all day, this cheeseburger and fries meal isn't going to hurt", "healthy food is too expensive", and more!

10.You're not paying attention to your metabolism and how to control it. Boosting your metabolism will aide in burning fat and losing weight.

11.You think aerobics / cardio is all you need to do to lose weight. This a further from the truth! You must include weight training in your plan in order to effectively burn fat. Building lean muscle burns a lot of calories...even while you are resting! To take it a step farther, try body weight exercising or high intensity interval training.

12.You allow your busy lifestyle (career, business, kids, family, etc.) to be an excuse. I'm sorry, no matter how busy your life is, you can still work at losing weight and getting healthier. You have to eat, right? So, why can't you make sure you are eating healthy when you do eat? Can't go to the gym because of your schedule? Unless there is a 24 hour gym near you (like the one I attend), who says you can not work out at home?

13.You spend too much time getting jealous of other people at your job, in your family, your friends, celebrities, etc., that are in great shape, and then say to yourself that you wish you could look like that but think it's too hard to accomplish.

14.Last but not least...you are not staying consistent. Don't start on a healthy lifestyle as a New Year's resolution, or to get in shape for the summer, etc., and then completely just stop living healthier. If you want to lose weight, burn fat, and improve your overall health, you are going to have to be in it for the long haul.

Besides that point, when you stay consistent with dieting and exercising, this is ONLY when you'll see results. Having a double cheeseburger every Friday because you ate pretty healthy through out the week......is not staying consistent.

Now that I have made you feel guilty, why don't you do something about it? Getting healthy and losing weight is not hard like so many people make it out to be....no matter what current weight you are at. Stop making excuses and allowing those common problems prevent you from getting in the best shape of your life.
