Setting goals is the first step to achieving your weight loss dreams, but they need to be realistic and tailored to your lifestyle. Let’s break down how to create goals that set you up for success!
1. Start with the SMART Framework
SMART goals are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. For example, instead of saying, “I want to lose weight,” try, “I want to lose 5 pounds in the next month by walking 30 minutes a day and cutting out sugary drinks.”
2. Focus on Small, Incremental Changes
Big goals can feel overwhelming. Break them into smaller, manageable steps. For example, start by drinking more water or adding one vegetable to every meal.
3. Track Your Progress
Use a journal, app, or calendar to track your goals. Seeing progress, even small wins, can keep you motivated.
