Make Small Weight Loss Goals

Members Were Sparked

Instead of looking at the 100lbs you want to lose by the end of the year, make smaller goals to loose 1.5-2lbs a week. That way when you reach your goal early or on time you are more motivated to keep doing the right things.

The 10% rule

If you have a lot of weight to lose set yourself a small goal of losing 10%, no more than that. Once you reach that goal and see how much different you feel set another 10% goal. This makes the weight loss feel more manageable
