A lot of questions are coming in lately in my Instagram<\/a> DMs about maintaining fitness and weight loss results and if you’re reading this, chances are you’ve just completed your fitness program or you’re curious about what comes after :)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maintaining these results can be really challenging, but with the right strategies, it’s absolutely possible to keep the weight off and stay in shape!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog post, I will answer questions on how to maintain fitness and weight loss results. Plus, I\u2019ll be adding some lessons and tips that can hopefully work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW TO MAINTAIN WEIGHT LOSS PROGRESS AFTER FINISHING A FITNESS PROGRAM?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, many people who lose weight eventually put it back on. About 20%-25% of overweight dieters manage to successfully lose weight and keep it off over time<\/a>. People regain the weight that they lose<\/a> because of restrictive diets, wrong mindset, and lack of sustainable habits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

BUT, don\u2019t let this discourage you. As I\u2019ve mentioned in one of my previous blog posts<\/a>, maintaining a healthy lifestyle shouldn’t be too difficult, even if it might be challenging at times. You can maintain your weight loss in a number of ways that have been proven and tested. These are the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HAVE A SUPPORT SYSTEM<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is important, but it often slips through the cracks. If your family, partner, or housemates are eating unhealthy and partying every weekend, chances are you’ll fall into the same habits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Try talking to someone you live with and ask for their support! If you live alone, find a friend or a family member who shares your goals and keeps each other motivated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAKE A PLAN<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you just eat whatever and do whatever exercise you feel like, you might maintain your weight, but it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll make much progress. You need a plan, even if it\u2019s just one you jot down yourself.

Schedule your workouts, and write them on a piece of paper\u2014this keeps you accountable and makes you more likely to stick with it. Do the same for your meals! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also learn how to balance your meal, try to stick to around 200\u2013400 calories less than your ideal calorie intake :) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
