Hi all,

As I just posted over on the daily chat, once you get me out of lurkdom it's hard to get rid of me

I have a question about setting short-term goals. I always have a hard time picking something "not too hard, not too easy, not too soon & not far away". A once-a-month goal seems right but how do you pick a number that you can strive for but not feel bummed if you miss?

What are your strategies???

Thanks!
Kim

Your pretty safe to say you can loose 2lbs a week. So for a month, between 8 & 10 lbs is reasonable.

and Welcome by the way

Kim, I usually go for A RANGE then if I'm anywhere in the range I feel good. For a month I strive for between 5 to 10 pounds. Here lately I've not been doing that , but that is my goal.
