Set the long term goal, and break that down into smaller realistic goals you can meet. Hmm probably the best thing you can do is set goals.

You look amazing, you should be very proud of yourself. Now... Looking for some info, Have lost 25kg on my weight loss journey so far but put 5kg back on over the last couple of months. My ultimate goal is 68kg which means I have 10kg to go. I have a 3 1/2 yr old so time is limited. Finding it really hard to lose this last 10kg and wondering if you had any advice for me to stay motivated without seeing the weight shifting? Cheers Hi,

If you are already eating enough protein then they are just calories you do not need. You should ideally eat something protein based after a work out, but it does not matter if thats low fat yogurt, scrambled eggs, or even a handful of nuts. Protein shakes do not make you loose weight, and usually best left to the body builders (who need extra protein) Heya, protein shakes are good if you are not eating enough protein.

Do protein shakes affect your weight in a big way? Should I take them while trying to lose weight? One of my readers asked me this and I want to know what your opinion.

As far as motivation goes, if i wanted for motivation i would never have got anywhere! I just forced myself to do it. After a month was the worst, 2-3 months it was just habit, but i still had days i messed up or forgot. Trick is to just keep on trucking and forcing yourself. Pays to start a sport you enjoy also, team sports are good because you make friends and you cant skip it easily :D Try switching out the foods for lower calorie versions of the same thing. ie diet drinks rather than normal, bulking out foods with veges, eat low fat yoghurts etc. Raw carrots were great for filling me up and almost no calories , popcorn was good for munchies.

I started with an exercycle. I could only do 10 minutes at a time, within 2 weeks i was at 30 minutes (2 times a day). Eventually i went to a gym and did 20 mins cardio, weights, and another 20 mins cardio. In less than a year i cycled around Lake Taupo (160km/100mi) in a race, and it took me 8 hours! the next year i took that down to 6 hours :D You can really do anything yourself though for exercise, from jumping up and down, swimming, waving your arms in the air etc. I would suggest going with things that use less impact if you are larger, Aqua jogging is a great idea, just make sure your heart rate is up and you are breathing hard. Try and avoid running until you are lighter, go with elliptical machines or exercycles or things that don't involve thumping down on your joints :) Anything that gets your Heart Rate up! the higher the better, even if you can only do it 10 minutes at a time but you can do it 4 -6 times a day.

I enjoy aqua jogging and lane swimming, I also use the pool for toning so that i do not end up with a saggy tummy after weight loss. I want to run and know that I can loose heaps of weight by starting, but I am unsure of the impact it will have on my body as I am really over weight. I need to loose at least 60kg's to reach my goal weight of about 89kg's. Hi Liz, please advise how and what type of exercise you started with when you were at your heaviest?
