It is the most crucial talk when you wish to lose weight. This is
difficult because the success of your weight loss program depends upon
how you have planed your goal. How much do you need to lose? This
question is hard to answer and often based on your individual goals. If
you're losing weight for health, your goal might be more modest, say
5-10% of your current weight. But what if you have something more
specific in mind like a certain clothing-size you want to fit into? How
do you set a reasonable goal for yourself? The key to setting
weight loss goals is to follow the standard of goal setting. It needs
to be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and tangible. Your
first step is determining if you really need to lose weight. Set Your Goals
When you are determined to lose weight, your next step is to set a
reasonable weight loss goal for yourself. You can base your goals on
any number of factors, but a great place to start would be the general
recommendations set out by the American College of Sports Medicine
which are 5-10% of body weight or one to two pounds per week. However,
you can also use these calculators to set your goals: - Ideal Body Weight Calculator
