Simple and Easy Steps To Setting Proper Weight Loss Goals

In order to make weight loss as fast and easy as possible, we have to give it the right vehicle. That right vehicle is a realistic one, a Corvette instead of a Hovercraft. This vehicle is to set proper, attainable goals that build motivation, encourage further progress, and actually work. We can break this down into 5 simple steps to get going,


The first simple and easy step is to set an attainable weight loss goal you can get in a matter of 2 weeks. What this does is build motivation and sets the groundwork for quick fat loss in the future. Now, the goal doesn't have to be huge at all, nothing groundbreaking, but instead something we can accomplish. For example, if you're at 150 pounds and want to lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks, wow, good luck. But if you want to lose 5 pounds, well that's a good start; way to get your head back on your shoulders. A simple, easy first goal is key in developing a base for success, and to abuse some cliches, success breeds success and with success comes confidence.

The next simple and easy weight loss step is to remain positive. Put things in perspective and learn to hope for the worst, accept it, and move forward. This will not only keep you motivated to take the next simple step, but it'll will increase your overall happiness with a simple mental trick (an entirely different subject that will be covered later). Also, take things for granted and remove criticism and you're sure to be happier than a pig in mud.

Simple and easy weight loss step number 3 is to write your goals down! WRITE THEM DOWN. If you write them down you not only provide a hard copy to remind you, but you ingrain the goals in your head. You become committed to the goal by creating an explicit statement. It may be hard to ask you to look at it daily, but it's necessary. Daily repetition really drives it hope. Another way to take your goals to the next level is to confide in someone you trust and will encourage you, make sure you respect them too because the feeling of letting someone down you respect is greater than the pain of letting yourself down again.

Simple and easy weight loss step four, park further away from places. Not two spots out of the handicaps instead of one, but at the other end of the parking lot where the all the Bentley's and New Car Owners park their car because they're afraid of getting dings. From there, you'll get an extra few hundred steps per location and be on your way to power walking two to three to even ten times DAILY! Hows that for a simple weight loss step, or should I say a few hundred steps?

Lastly, the fifth and temporarily final simple weight loss step is to weigh in weekly at the most. By doing this you'll realize the utter lack of importance a number plays on your well-being when you follow the above steps. Instead of having a great day only to find out you haven't lost a pound or that you managed to gain an entire two pounds! (my record is gaining nearly 8 pounds after an epic wing feast at Hooters with a few buddies). They're a number, and only a number. Nothing is bad unless we think it so. Keep that positive attitude, keep reaching goals CONSTANTLY, and the energy and progress will show in that smile and bounce in your step; the scale will have to follow if it wants to join in on all that fun!
