I've been a coach and a personal trainer for over 15 years, and I've managed to drop body fat down to single digits form diet, exercise and self discipline. I have helped so many people reach their fitness goals and I've helped people lose well over 80 plus pounds, but I have never personally lost more than 15 pounds. In this special episode we get to hear it from Kathleen Octoman and how she managed to lose 50 pounds and how she has maintained her long term weight loss. We get to discuss the ups and downs of weight loss, and what it requires not just physically but also mentally as well. Weight loss and fat loss is not just a physical thing but its also a mental thing too. Your mental health and your mindset plays a big part in this process, so thats part of what will be discussed in this episode.

Reaching your fitness goals will always be a challenge regardless of what the goal is. It will always require dedication and hard work. Unfortunately there is no short cuts and there is no tricks. It will always require a strong will, dedication and consistency. Once we realize this and we are willing to make some sacrifices and lifestyle changes to make our life better, then we will start taking the small steps towards our fitness goals, which will in turn lead to one BIG lifestyle transformation. As we go along this journey to better ourselves, we have to remember that our levels of motivation will change form time to time. Sometimes we feel highly motivated and sometimes less. We have to keep inching forwards through the tougher time and the times of low motivation. Thats where self discipline comes into play.
