Earlier in the week I was doing some research browsing health and weight loss forums.
In reports from people who have achieved great results, a recurring theme was goal setting. I personally love self-development and have done many courses in this field, so have often covered goal setting tips and strategies, but I am also aware that for many people it is something new, and having to educate yourself on goal-setting techniques, whilst trying to learn and apply healthy weight loss strategies can be overwhelming. Which is why I wanted to just keep this brief and repeat the recommendation of one lady from the forum who has herself lost 20lbs, and her husband 43lbs - in the beginning keep it simple.
Think about the some of following and set goals each week, but keep it simple as too many goals may confuse and overwhelm you. Consider how you may improve your diet; what is your exercise plan; what amount of weight would you like to lose? Having something to aim towards gives you direction, and a way to monitor your progress and make necessary adjustments. If you don't achieve every goal you set, don't be dis-heartened or overly critical; just always be honest with yourself about what you did or didn't do each week and keep making necessary adjustments (this may mean adjusting your diet or exercise or it may mean altering your goals if they were unrealistic).
