Continuing with questions to ask yourself about your plan, Hhow to tell if diet plan is working for you/if itβs the right one for you. These items are positive traits that should help steer us on a healthful track.
2. Do you set realistic weight loss goals? Reaching small, realistic goals helps build self-confidence. Alternately, lofty goals, with rapid loss in starting weeks can keep you motivated and poised to lose more. Either one can work, depending on the person.
Whatβs your view?

Long journey and I've found small realistic goals works best for me. The important thing for me is to keep moving forward and not quit! Luckily I know how far I've come and there's no turning back. I'm doing this for the rest of my life.

When I am in my meeting and feeling happy that I lost .2 lbs, someone will say that they lost 8lbs in 2 weeks, or some ungodly number like that in a very short amount of time. It makes me feel bad that I didn't lose more, when just minutes earlier I was happy to lose and not gain.
I have to keep remembering that every person loses at a different rate and we are not clones of each other. They might be at the very beginning of the WL journey, while I am just above my goal weight. In the moment, however, all I feel is envy. I have probably never lost more than 1-2 lbs a week in all the years I have been going to WW.

A busy day for everyone it looks like! And here I am finally again as well.
My first time with WW, I made quite a few common mis-steps - I was too strict, hard on myself if I didn't lose what I thought I should have. Lofty goals discouraged me.
Second time, WW at work meetings, I'd gained some, but not all, back. So, with less to lose and a better understanding of the plan, I had small steps in mind. For me, that was the key and worked much better.

Do you set realistic weight loss goals? Yes - usually set five to ten pound goals knowing I will hit setpoints along the way that will cause me to stall for a few weeks. I reached 135 in 1984 but did not maintain it easily. in 1999 I hit 145 and maintained it fairly easily for 2 years. Have more to lose than either time before but will get down again. Not sure what my goal weight will end up being this time around.
