Set a Weight Goal That Works for YOU
Try this!
Do you have grand plans for losing weight? A magic number you want to reach? Here’s how to break that (probably pretty overwhelming) number down into “Oh wait, that’s doable!” steps.
Let’s dive a little deeper…
It’s normal to have dream digits you want to see on the scale. But you don’t have to tackle it all at once.
Think of it this way, would you ever run a marathon on the first go? Probably not. You’d break those 26.2 miles down into smaller runs that would eventually add up to the full deal.
That’s because whether you want to lose 50 pounds or run a marathon, you’re thinking about an outcome goal—an ultimate destination that might take time to accomplish. At WW, we’re helping you figure out the path to getting there by setting smaller, behavioural goals that won’t leave you obsessing about the future. (Something that can lead to feeling discouraged.) By breaking your goals into those smaller steps, we can focus on what’s doable in the here and now.
