Do you set yourselves smaal goals on your journey?
I started off at 248lb and rather than saying right I intend to get down to 160lb I am setting myself baby steps. My first aim is to get to 230lb and then 200lb and so on,I'm hoping that this way I dont just have the final goal in mind and can focus on a gradual loss

    Absolutely!

    I set daily, weekly and monthly goals. Giving yourself intermediate goals helps you see small victories, make steps towards your big goal and also keeps your eye on the prize.

    Yep!! I'm taking it 1 stone at a time!! I have till the end of April to lose a stone, as thats when i have a kickboxing fight, and in my first week i lost 5 and 1/4 lbs, so well on my way. as soon as you achieve your goal, set a new one. make sure each target is achievable!
