It takes FOUR WEEKS for you to see your body changing!!!!!!
Making long term weight loss goals is the perfect way to keep yourself motivated!!! Remember changes don't just happen overnight! It takes time and effort!!! So if you want to take it month at a time this is the discussion for you! This is perfect if you are just starting out or if you just want to see how much you can do in a month! It only takes 30 days to make a task a habit!! This is also a great challenge if the main reason for your weight loss is yourself. I recommend making your goal something realistic anywhere from 1- 8 pounds. Ideally you post your weight on here each week! This is not required though!
The format:
Current weight:____________
Goal in 4 Weeks: ___________
Start date: _______________
End date: _________________
Week one goal: __________ Week one actual weight:______________
Week two goal:____________ Week two actual weight:______________
Week three goal: ___________ Week three actual weight: ________________
Week four goal: ______________ Week four actual weight: __________________
I recommend giving yourself a mini-reward if you reach your goal! For example, a new book or dress. Just remember that though you might want to give yourself a treat or something sweet it won't help you in the long run.
If you don't make your goal? It's perfectly okay! Try again next month. The number might not have changed but you might have gained muscle! You should be proud of the loss no matter how small!
I wish you luck on your four week challenge!!!!!

So this morning I stepped on the scale and was a clear 194! I really want to reach my first mini-goal and be 189. If I do this I have lost 11 pounds!
Which is a nice weight loss! It would just be good to see myself at a different weight level! I am mainly doing this for myself and my health! I like the idea of taking it month to month right now! Maybe during the summer I will attempt an 8 or 12 week challenge!
CW: 194
GW in four weeks: 189
Start date: 2/16/16
End date: 3/15/16
week one goal: 192.6 Actual weight:n/a
Week two goal: 191.4 Actual weight:n/a
Week three goal: 189.7 Actual weight:n/a
Week four goal: 189 Actual weight:n/a
I will have to think about what I would want as a mini-reward! Maybe I'll go to the movies or something Until next week!

I love to reward myself with either a massage or a new piece of workout clothes! Both work into my goals of being healthier, so it's a win win!0

That is such a great idea! I like the idea of it being a win win!0

I find it a little funny how you are trying to get out of the 180s and I'm trying to get there! Lol I hope you reach your goal! I am also looking forward to spring because of all the great fruit! 0

You'll get there, Jess! You're motivated, have a supremely positive attitude and are taking the steps to achieve your goal... there's no stopping you!

I've already passed my goal which is awesome. I've been working out and actually trying to eat a little more. I'm going to be on spring break for 6 days this week into next, so I'm going to let myself eat up to maintenance each day and not focus on losing any weight this week.0 -
