Do you struggle to lose weight? Do you find yourself setting New Year's Resolutions to finally fit into that one special dress again only to find yourself failing once again?
We have all been there. In fact, 1 in 2 adults in the U.S. attempted to lose weight in the last 12 months. And yet, we are still dealing with an obesity pandemic worldwide.
Nearly all of us are out there trying to lose weight, struggling, and ultimately being unsuccessful. Losing weight isn't easy. We are very often shown adverts for products that will help us lose weight overnight, yet that never happens.
The fact is, losing weight and having a healthy body is a long-term process and it requires sustainable systems of best practices in our lives.
Go At Your Own Pace
When we fail to lose weight, it is very often because we are trying to start off too fast and accomplish everything all at once. We start off with the very best of intentions, hit the gym four times a week, and then we trail off very soon once we realize that these goals are unsustainable.
The first key to success with losing weight is going at your own pace. When you go at your own pace, you are much more capable of both achieving your goals and sticking to them.
You might think that you need to do intense HIIT workouts in order to lose weight but, in reality, sticking to a healthy and sustainable walking routine is one of the best possible ways to lose weight. We lose weight when we are consistent.
Set Your Goals and Track Your Progress
If you are struggling to lose weight, chances are that you don't have a solid goal and progress system. To successfully lose weight, we need to set goals and we need to track our progress as we reach those goals.
We need to know what we are working towards and we need to see how we are working towards it. Otherwise, we very easily lose our way.
Don't Go It Alone!
Another reason we lose our way in the conquest to lose weight is that we try to do it entirely by ourselves. Humans are fundamentally social creatures and we need to do things together in order to be successful. We need support and we need connection.
If you don't tell anyone that you have decided to lose weight, it is much easier to give everything up and pretend it never happened.
Solution: The Conqueror Virtual Challenges
The Conqueror launched in 2016 as the brain baby of one person determined to get off their couch, in a new and creative way.
Adam wanted to shake his bad habits once and for all and get back into shape by motivating himself to walk for long distances. The thing that would finally help him stay fit for a long time was to set a goal, track his progress, and have the satisfaction of crossing that finish line.

They help you stay involved and engaged throughout the experience with progress tracking maps, visual reinforcements such as virtual postcards, and they give you a beautifully crafted medal at the end of each trail.
A medal so inviting that 7 out of 10 participants lose weight across the course of their journey.
