Staying Motivated While Losing Weight
If you have tried to lose weight in the past and failed just because you couldn't keep yourself motivated, or simply you did not have a good motive to begin with, you are not alone. Many people wake up one day and say "I'm going to start losing weight from this day forwards". They watch their diet and exercise for a day or two, and then they forget about it. This is usually due to a lack of motivation. People are motivated sometimes and at times they're not. If you're ever going to be successful on losing weight, you will need to keep yourself motivated all the time.

Losing Last 10 Pounds
Losing weight is so hard to do with as many temptations as there are around us. Our lives have taken a turn for the worse when we consider McDonald’s or Burger King as nutritional food choices. They not only are awful food choices but really are not even remotely good for us. But when we get to the point where losing weight is a matter of life and death, and we can buckle down to actually get to the point where we are losing weight is happening for us, we get stuck. We plateau and those last couple of pounds seems so darn hard to lose. But why is that? The other pounds melted off once we got right down to it.

Setting your weight loss goals

Recent statistics show that there is a serious upward increase in obesity and in being overweight compared to the previous 50 years. Of course, there are a lot of reasons for this: First of all, we live very hectic lives that are intertwined with stress. To top it off, many people don’t exercise regularly and to make it worse, they don’t have an active life style either due to living in offices and skyscrapers. Also, eating of fast food such as pizza, hot dogs, hamburgers, fried chicken and tacos does not help either. When all of the reasons above are coupled together, it creates a lethal combination that can cause serious problems for your health.

Sleep Habits - Are You Affected?
Our bodies require a lot of energy in order to function properly. Eating the right foods can give us a lot of extra boost so we can get things done but sleep - that is an entirely different story. Sleep recharges our power cells after the fuel has been spent. It seems easy to think that simply doing one little thing like changing how you sleep can change your weight loss efforts right around.

(1.) Try going to bed just one hour earlier. It seems simple enough and that is because it is as easy as that. Just think about it for one moment. If you get to bed one hour earlier every night that means you will wake up an hour earlier as well.

(2) It is hard to get to sleep early for some people. Try eating something that is high in tryptophan like turkey. Tryptophan is a chemical that is found in some birds that causes you to get sleepy. Turkey is also high in protein which works to generate energy while you are asleep. You may also try listening to soft music as well as exercising before bed. Both can lull you to sleep fairly easily.
