Motivation

Motivation and Goal Setting are an important part of reaching your ideal weight. We recommend focussing on short-term and also long-term goals for weight management. It is important that these goals are realistic and achievable or you will find yourself disappointed.

Setting goals can be as simple as a final healthy weight range that you want to achieve or even fitting into an old pair of your ‘skinny jeans’. Importantly, you must be able to measure your goals so that you can maintain focus.

Between 0.5kg and 1kg a week is an average weight loss aim to focus for. Focus on a reasonable range around this average. Use the S.M.A.R.T.E principle for goal setting. S.M.A.R.T.E stands for Specific, Measurable, Recordable, Timeline in place, Evaluate regularly. Download this S.M.A.R.T.E Goals template and start achieving your goals today.
