How do I stay motivated when I am not seeing results?

Make allowances and rewards for yourself. Limit treats, but don't eliminate them entirely. If you deprive yourself of some of your favorite things, you might overindulge later. Learn to live with the foods you love, rather than avoid them entirely. And as for rewards, don't just think big picture. You need rewards for those check points, too. Have you exercised every weekday for two weeks? Great -- reward! Lost that first 10 pounds? Awesome -- reward. It can be a nap, a day of shopping -- whatever would motivate you to keep going. There's always punishments, too. If you miss a workout, that's $5 put in the jar that's going toward your husband's/son's/best friend's beer fund. No excuses!

Always remember the reason why did you start. Picture the happiness when you finally achieve what you desire. Never give up.

People usually take things one day at a time, it is very hard to stay motivated and its always good to focus on your goals and to never give up.

You have to remember that results can be seen in the long term the only thing that can keep you going in the meantime is the self-satisfaction of doing the right thing, just stop looking for results and try to remember why you are doing this!

Sometimes it's hard to stay motivated when you don't see the results you are expecting. I've been going to the gym regularly for the past year and in the beginning I could see my body changing very quickly, but lately I feel like I have plateaued. I have to keep reminding myself that while I may not be seeing the numbers change on the scale, there are other changes happening in my body: my measurements are changing and my energy and stamina are both increasing. And, no matter what, I'm still in a better place than I was last year.

Try to think of stress as motivating; not crushing. When you flip that switch,things that you previously thought impossible are suddenly within reach.

"Rome was not built in a day". When you don't get the results you expect, just keep working because you might just get a reward exceeding your expectations later on. Persistence is the key.

Results come from daily progress over a period of time. Try to focus on your long term goal. Progress isn't linear in anything, so stay consistent and you'll get there! It's always good to reflect on how far you've come and all of your accomplishments so far....that's a great source of motivation that is unique to you!

That results you're not seeing may be just small ones, you need to keep your vision on those big ones and never quit because you never know what waits for you next.
