How to set goals that work for you

Before tackling a big goal that will help you on your journey—whether it’s about meal prepping, staying active, tracking regularly, or something else—help yourself by giving it the STAR treatment.

Try this!

STAR: S- specific, T- truly doable, A- active, R- relevant

Let’s dive a little deeper…

As a WeightWatchers®member, you already have experience breaking down a mountain of a goal. Think about it: If your big objective is losing weight, you’re likely focused on the behaviours (or smaller goals) that get you there—like tracking, staying in your Points Budget by eating ZeroPoint®foods, and being active.

But even those hill-size goals can seem daunting. That’s where the STAR method comes in. It forces you to think through details and helps you map out a plan that can guide you up the inclines and around the bumps and make the climb feel easier.

Bonus: Setting—and achieving!—manageable goals gives you a taste of success. That boosts confidence and builds momentum that helps fuel your entire journey.
