Welcome! This is a thread for people who want to attend a meeting from the comfort of their own home. We are primarily a PointsPlus board (Go Team Yellow!) but all are welcome to revel in the GHG's, 16 Routines, and topics that never get old.
If you're new here, feel free to introduce yourself!
If you have anything to celebrate, share and give yourself a bravo sticker: +
If you want to make it official, you can weigh yourself and put it in your tracker or share it!
If you need some accountability, feel free to post daily how you’re doing on PP/GHG’s.
This Week's Topic: The 5 Secrets of Goals
From the success handbook we learn the 5 secrets of goals:
1) Don’t Think About Your Goal Weight - The 5% and 10% goals are there because these smaller goals are more manageable and attainable, and will build your confidence.
2) Have More Than One Goal - The Program is more than just food. It is about establishing a food plan, learning to change your behavior around food and activity, and seeking support, tracking, spaces, and routines. Goals such as a daily walk or curbing eating in front of the TV could take weeks to perfect but they are critical to your overall success.
3) Go With Your Natural Style - A mistake Liz sees people make is to approach weight loss like some foreign process that you don’t have any skills or ideas about, but everyone has skills that help them be successful in other parts of their life. Use your personality to build success. Ex. Don’t like to cook? Highlight the best options at your take-out place. Or make of list of easy non-cook meals.
4.) Beware the Supermodel Effect - As people lose weight they start to imagine that losing weight is going to make them look like supermodels, fix all their life problems, and make them love their bodies. But working on these unrealistic ideas and loving your body despite it not being perfect is something to work on.
5.) Change Your Goals - Goals can and should change. A rate of weight loss when you weigh 200 lbs is different than when you weigh 120. Setting goals for where you’re at is important and when you get closer to goal, you might need to change your goal weight.
What is your goal weight and what is your short term weight goal?
What is your non-scale goal (remember this is something that can take weeks?
What is an area in your life where you have success/control? Is there something about that you can/have applied to weight loss?
This Week’s Routine: (16) Get 7 – 8 hours of quality sleep every night.
GHG of the Week: Lean Protein - 1 to 2 servings - meats, skinless poultry, fish, beans, soy, and lentils
