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 Seven Goal Setting Secrets
Summarizing the Success Handbook:
Too many think of their goal as a number - a scale number.
1) Don't Think About Your Goal Weight - Start out with just 5%, then 10%. Lowering your body weight by 10% reduces your risk of Type 2 diabetes.
2) Have More than One Goal - The three areas - Tracking, Spaces, and Routines - are other places to set goals. Losing weight is more than just the food you eat, it's also your behavior around food and activity. Setting a goal for each of the three areas will help you make a bigger impact overall.
3) Go with Your Natural Style - Weight-loss goals aren't any different from other goals in your life. Use the techniques that make you successful in other areas. Do you use a calendar? Organize your finances in spreadsheets? Get your toughest tasks done early in the morning? Use your strengths to your benefit.
4) Beware the Supermodel Effect - When you start having success, you may have to face unrealistic expectations. Losing weight isn't going to make your legs longer, or eliminate all imperfections. Focus on having the best body you can have, not looking like someone else.
5) Change Your Goals - As you get closer to goal, weight loss may seem to go slower. Maybe you lost 3# your first week and have since had losses over 1#. But as you get closer to goal, the pounds may go down. Do what you did at the beginning, focus on percentages.
6) A Great Goal Isn't Just a Number - When you reach your goal weight you can go up 2lbs and down 2lbs. Goal is a range, not a number.
7) Be Ready to Stop - You'll know when you reach your goal weight. Jennifer Hudson knew she hit goal when she said, "I think I am done because I feel just as scared to lose any more weight as I do to gain any of it back."
September is the new January! What are your goals for the New Academic Year?
Are they lbs or percentages?
Try to make one for each area: Tracking, Spaces, and Routines.
This Week’s Routine: (9) Before eating anything, ask yourself, “Is this worth the
PointsPlus value?”
GHG of the Week: Sugar and alcohol - Limit your intake; no more than 1 alcoholic beverage a day, 2 for men.
