Great post yet again.

Before and After pictures are especially helpful if you where the same outfit, take them in the same room, same lighting, etc.

Even the smallest change of events can give you false results in your photos.

I’ve got a friend who swears he has a 6 pack if he takes the picture in his basement in a corner haha, so strange!

Yep, those are the best workouts. Because when you don’t want to workout and force yourself to work it feels AWESOME, so awesome that you don’t want to stop.

You are spot on about being consistent. I have to trick myself sometimes to keep it up. I’ll try to get at least 15-20 minutes in on those days when I would rather eat dirt than workout. Once I get to the gym, that 15 minutes usually turns into 30-45.

I think the photo shot is a really good idea, after stepping on the scale and feeling like no way i havent lost that much have I? Taking a picture can really show you the results. Thanks for the idea!

I think that the most important problem is hidden in peoples minds. People say that they want to loose weight but they don’t really want it, they don’t want to give up something…

Eating something every 3 hours or so until 9 pm, minimizing sugar in drinks are the keys for my success.

I’m 46 and female. I have usually been able to keep off any extra weight, but the past couple of years that extra ten pounds just does not want to leave. I do a lot of computer work and my biggest weakness is the late night sweet snack and a glass of milk. I had not thought of the photos idea, but I might just give that a try. Looking in the mirror at extra pounds is bad enough, but placing one over my computer just might be enough to motivate me to get more exercise.

Cardio in the morning is just such a booster for the rest of the day, I love it.

That was a heck of a post bro! That is what I am talking about keeping yourself motivated and documenting your progress! Great points you made and taking pictures and measuring yourself is a great method of keeping yourself focused. That is what I do at least and it works for me.

Definitely agree with you on the first tip. Late night snacks are the worst of the lot. I found that if I eat small meals at night and do cardio first thing in the morning helped a lot in fat loss.

5 solid tips Israel. I especially agree with the stop comparing yourself to others tip. No 2 people are a like so just try and be the best that you can be.

Straightforward and to the point- great advice. Just the stuff I like to read.

Lots of good content in this post Israel.

The late eating stuff is a good rule, the metabolism is lower later at night, so watch out for those late night snacks.

I really like points 3 and 4.

I mean, there’s always ups and downs no matter what program you follows. Some days, you are questioning your program because “you don’t see any results”, but by using methods such as tape measurement tests (or fat caliper), before and after pictures, as well as the weight scale, then you’re able to see real proof of your progress. Extremely important lesson there!

As for #4, that’s something I try to teach my clients all the time. You need to focus on yourself, and stop caring about how other people look and especially, what other people think.

Focus on surrounding yourself with people who help and push you, rather than dragging you down. Remove all the negativity from your life, it doesn’t do you any good!

Great stuff there Israel. Keep it up!

All the best,
