spot on.

simple goals like this are great for keeping you on track and allowing you to look back and see that you've progressed each and every month.

If your trying to lose 2lbs a week....monthly goal is 8lbs, that way you don't have to worry about it if you don't hit the weekly goal. If you were to walk/jog/run...set a monthly mile like 30 miles a month. Or try to get in so many hours of cardio, lifting, areobics...whatever workout you do. I try to focus more on short goals, because I am impatient and feel like crap when I don't see results. But monthly goals are good ways to keep you going.

Yup, All fab suggestions...... I find a few small simple goals best, otherwise I confuse myself.... Not that that's too difficult!
