Non-Scale Minigoals

  • Hi there,

    I have been trying to lose weight for about three and half months now, and I have only lost about four pounds. It's been very hard. I would think that by now I could have lost like ten pounds, but I guess not. Does weight loss take this long? (I am a 5'10" female who weighs 160).

    I have decided that I am probably eating too much. I know that I exercise enough. I run about five miles every other day, so I don't think it's that. Here are some of my goals, I guess, for the next twenty days. In about twenty days, I will be running my first 10k, and so that's a big accomplishment for me.

    Mini goals:

    1. Track my progress here on the accountability pages.

    2. Give myself a in the next twenty days for each day I follow my accountability plan.

    3. Give myself a or or whenever I work out in the next twenty days. That way, I can count how much I have many doing.

    I will call it my 20 day program!

    Excellent. I will include in my signature too, in case anyone sees my on another message board.

    By October 31st, I should have 14 exercise guys, and 20 brocs.

    Well, here goes my mini goals!
  • Sounds like a good plan. Sometimes you really need to document to see if you've been as "on plan" as you think you have been! Good luck to you!
  • 20 day program sounds good. Best of luck.
  • Think that might be a good idea for me to make a short term goal...Congrats on yours, you can dooo it!
  • thanks for the support everyone! I have changed my plan to a 30 day one, in a hope to get myself together.

    These little graphics on this website really motivate me!
