More people fail than succeed at losing weight and keeping it off. And one big reason is a lack of real motivation.

People might be inspired and passionate and in a moment of bravado they’ll decide to make a change and they’ll starve their bodies or they’ll take crazy drugs, which ultimately damages their bodies. They yo-yo diet - they put it all back on and then some.

Motivation is something that has to endure. So you’ve got to write down everything that you want out of life. Is it skinny jeans, is it watching your granddaughter graduate from college - whatever it is write that down. That’s your source of motivation. No bagel is going to taste as good as anything on that life list is going to feel.

Then you have to exercise - and not just little walks around the block, Jillian recommends at least 4 hours of real exercise a week. As for your diet…

Eat real food, eat vegetables, eat fruits, whole grains - don’t eat things in packages, don’t eat things in wrappers.

Anyone can lose weight and get fit and if anyone has proven that it’s Jillian Michaels.

I had a 66 year old contestant on "The Biggest Loser" - he did it, he did great and he started at 400 pounds. You’ve just got to decide that you’re worth it and then to get educated so that you can make powerful choices that affect positive change.
