Setting Weight Loss Goals
It is important to set realistic goals when trying to losing weight. In the past I have set many unrealistic goals and failed miserably.
If you put a little planning into your weight loss program before you start you’ll have a better opportunity to succeed. A healthy weight loss goal is to lose about 1-2 pounds a week. Studies show that any thing more than this could be quite unhealthy.
Before you start any weight loss program I suggest you stand in front of the mirror look at your body while visualizing how you want it to look.
It is also a good idea to take a photo of your body at the start of your weight loss program because we often forget the progress we make and looking back at those photo’s can be handy to offer encouragement at times when you feel like the going might be a little difficult.
Document your progress, create a weight loss journal of your progress from week to week and review it from time to time for added encouragement.
Here is my Weight Loss Journal:
Thanks for stopping by my blog and you have some great information. You reminded me and also gave me an idea for another post….teehee.
You’re welcome Laura!
I found your podcast through iTunes and have downloaded a couple of episodes to put on my iPod. Thought I’d listen to motivational weight loss podcasts as I ride my stationary bike (which I still haven’t done.)
Anyway, best of luck to you in your weight loss journey. I am a lifetime WW who has backslidden and am getting back on track with healthy eating.
Thank you so much for the encouragement, good luck with your journey. WW really works!
