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. :carrot:

Mini goals:

1. Track my progress here on the accountability pages.

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

3. Give myself a :strong: or :exercise: or :bike2: 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!
