If you’ve ever crushed a 30-day challenge only to find yourself right back where you started a few weeks later, you’re not alone.
Most of the women who come to work with me in 1:1 coaching started in this SAME position.
“I can stick with a plan for a few weeks or a month, but then my motivation disappears and I fall off track.”
It feels frustrating, because you WANT to make changes. You’ve proven you can push yourself for short bursts of time. You're good at being ALL in but the flip side is that you're also often ALL out...
Staying consistent LONG TERM beyond those first 30 days? That’s where most people struggle. And it’s exactly what we’re unpacking in this episode.
How to stay consistent longer than a 30 day challenge:
Here’s the truth: if you can only stay consistent for 30 days, it’s not a willpower problem — it’s a strategy problem.
Most challenges focus only on the outcome (lose weight, eat clean, hit every workout). That kind of all-or-nothing thinking sets you up for yo-yo dieting. You feel that initial burst of motivation...but nothing about your behaviors or environment has actually changed.
So the moment life gets busy, stress eating kicks in, or the scale doesn’t move fast enough… consistency crumbles.
What really keeps you consistent long-term
If you want results that last, you need to stop relying on short-term challenges and start focusing on long-term behavior change. That means:
Identifying your core health values and why fat loss matters to you beyond calories and workouts
Pinpointing the habits that trip you up — like nightly snacking, perfectionism, or giving up when progress feels slow
Building flexible strategies so you can stay on track with your goals even when life isn’t perfect
This is the exact behavior change coaching I do with my clients — because learning how to build lasting habits is what makes fat loss sustainable.
Ask yourself: Why would this month be any different than the last one? If nothing about your behaviors has changed, chances are your results won’t either.
Instead, pick one behavior that’s holding you back (like skipping meal prep or overeating on weekends) and focus on shifting that habit first. Small changes compound — and that’s how you finally break the cycle of always starting over.
