I've always been told (and told several others) that it is way easier to break your weight loss into smaller goals (5,10,15,20, whatever) to keep from getting discouraged by seeing (with me 118 left to lose) a large number to go.
Well I made my new ticker in a 10 pound increment and this time I really see it as a goal to achieve. I'm not sure if I can describe it properly because I've always tried to break it down into small goals and then not care if I achieve them or not. This time I will lose the 5 pounds to make it through my first goal of 10 pounds since getting back on track.
I know Amanda has done this with some great success. I forget which target she's now.
