minigoals

I dont think so. Most people just make some up and stick them in their forum signature.

How do you get them in your forum signature? Just type?

Well, there are a few different ways. One way would be to take one week at a time and strive to lose SOMETHING. After that week is over start again and say you wil lose that week too. before long all the "one week losses" will add up. Another way you could achieve a mini goal is to make a chart and log your progress. I know for a fact that logging what you eat makes you responsible for what you put in your mouth and makes you aware of what you are eating. You could also try taking your a step back and looking at the total weight you need to lose and just break it down. As long as you lose each time you weigh in that will all add up. You could use a monthly mini goal start on May 1st and say that on May 31st you want to have a weight loss. You could use the holidays as focal points...example from now til Mothers Day then from Mother's Day til Memorial day then from Memorial day til Father's day then Father's Day til 4th of July etc I hope this helps. What I am trying to do with my mini goals is Figure out my ideal weight and then start with a goal of 5lbs.(a bag of sugar). then I am going to look at getting out of the 40's then out of the 30's then out of the 20's etc. Then out of the 200's. The secret is to be vigilant and LOG whatever you put in your mouth. As long as you burn off more calories than the amount that you eat you should lose. Your ideal weight mullitiplied by 15 is the daily amount of calories you should be consuming to achieve that weight. so If your ideal weight is 150 then you should be consuming 2250 cal/day to achieve that goal. Good luck I hope one of these ideas helps you out. Thats where I struggle too. I know WHAT i am supposed to do I just have a difficult time following thru.
