The Secrets Of Goal Setting and Weight Loss

Here is a fact: Only five percent of people who lose weight are successful at keeping it off.

What makes the difference? Knowledge and a sincere desire to accomplish what you set out to do. In other words, be serious!

 

Even though the dieting industry makes billions of dollars every year, don't be fooled! You're better off sticking to the basic guidelines that the majority of experts speak of. Avoid things that are revolutionary, ground-breaking, hidden etc.

While most people are looking for a fast and easy solution, which is the reason why these fad-like programs sell, they usually just end up worse off than they were to start with. The truth of the mater is that you have to really want it!

Set goals for yourself. If you don't really know where you're going you have less of a chance of getting there. You don't have to make your goals too large, just keep in mind that a number of small goals will equal one large goal!

Write your goals down. This is very important. It will serve two purposes. 1. It will keep you motivated because it will be a constant reminder and 2. It will keep you from forgetting! Your plan will also seem more 'real' to you if you write your goals down. In front of you will be a tangible reality!

Try to eliminate doubt. While it's only natural to be discouraged once in awhile it definitely does not help. Try to take things one day at a time and when you see your first minor improvements it will motivate you like no other.

Find someone to 'report' to. People tend to be more dedicated when they know after a week or two they need to check in with someone. Find someone to walk with for example, a close friend or even a diet buddy. Share your goals! Trying to do things on your own can sometimes be a lot harder.

How much weight you want to lose does not matter. Put small goals (not heavy) and undertake slow course (not brisk or rapid). This will maximize the possibility of reduction in weight and also to retain it afterwards. Your weight loss may be up to 10% of your initial body weight; or about 1 to 1.5 pounds per week. This may seem little; but do not back out. Remember, slow & steady wins the race.

Think of things you want to do after you've lost the weight and write them down. Is it wearing a bathing suit, meeting an old friend? Keep these things planted firmly in your mind and try to add new ones along the way.

Make sure your goals are realistic. Nothing can discourage a person more than unrealistic goals. For example, if it is August don't try to lose 60 pounds by September. If it does work the results are more likely to be temporary

The real key to losing weight is consistency. If you start missing meals or skipping workouts your progress will slow down to the point of discouragement. How bad do you want it? Find a good program and stick with it. Remember, you get out of it what you put into it!
