    I try not to change my goals, but rather tweak them only when needed. I think it can be quite easy to overwhelm yourself with constant changes, and slower ones tend to allow the habits a better opportunity to stick, at least for me. Of course if there's something fundamentally wrong, I would not be afraid of making a radical change, but just would not try to do it all the time.

    At the moment, I've been giving some thought to my own goals, as the present 38lb loss goal you see in my ticker is not high enough, and I need to revise it to probably 45lbs. I think there can be a good time to make changes though, and psychologically I'm holding off for a bit revising my goal upwards, until I get closer to it.

    So basically, my view would be to make sure goals are fit for purpose, and if/ when changing them to do so when its best to do so. At least that has been what's worked for me :)

    Good call! I think I will stick to my first weight loss/fitness goals and once I achieve them go from there! :) I just hate trying to figure out what my weight loss goal is. because I know I am pretty happy at 170, but I'm 5'9" that's still considered overweight haha. So I am wondering 160? lower? 140-150 is considered ideal for my height but I don't think I could even imagine that. haha

    So, go to 170, then reassess.
