	0-4 Unhealthy Direction Is everything alright? After all the hard work you've put in to improve your life, it would be a shame to take too many steps backward. If you're having trouble sticking to most of your goals, regroup and think about what may be holding you back. This might be a good opportunity to get some help from the support message boards. Stick with it!
	5-9 Veering Off Track Hey, everyone has off days. But it's not the end of the world. If everything didn't go right for you today, make a plan for improving just a little bit tomorrow. You can make it happen, but it'll take some focus to keep yourself from falling back into old, bad habits. Keep your chin up and keep a positive attitude -- you'll get there.
	10-14 On Your Way Good work. You're probably doing really well in some areas, but may be having some trouble in other areas. Nobody's perfect, and hopefully this gives you a quick look at where you might need to focus tomorrow. Try to stay as consistent as possible and good things will start to happen.
	15-19 Healthy Way to go! You're doing the right things and making good decisions. No matter what the scale says, you're making progress. If you can turn your high scores into habits, there's nothing standing in the way of your ultimate weight loss goals. It's just a matter of time.
	20-24 Very Healthy What a great day! You should be proud of yourself; this is exactly what a healthy lifestyle is all about. Can you tell the difference it makes when you make just a few healthy choices? Whenever you start to feel down or get discouraged, remember today and know that you're on the right path.
