My #questionoftheday is: do you take daily steps in your weight loss journey towards your goals?

Losing weight (and gaining weight as well) is a consistent, daily pursuit. For most it's a struggle especially following through on a daily basis. But it must be a daily habit, a daily struggle. You have to attack it every day through diet & exercise. One day of regression or inaction is a day where your body will try to regain its' weight. The body has a mechanism that once it is at a weight for a while, (a mean weight), then it will resist change. This means that for you to break out of that weight zone, you will have to force the body to do so through diet & exercise. You can't slack off either because the body will try to get it back to the mean weight if you let it. This is why people fail at diets. They slack off and the body goes back into trying to get back to its mean weight. The body will also over-compensate in trying to regain its men weight. This is why a lot of people regain their weight after stopping a diet and also wind up gaining more pounds. So, how to combat this vicious cycle? First off, be consistent once you begin your diet & exercise program. Then once you get to the weight you wish to be, you must go into dieting & exercise maintenance mode. This will avoid the body trying to regain its former mean weight while you establish a new mean weight. Remember, the body must be in this new mean weight for a while before it sets it as the new mean weight. It's up to you and how consistent you can be. You have to be in it DAILY to achieve what you want. You CAN do it.
