Losing
Lofty goals like "I'm going to lose 50 pounds by the end of summer." sound good, but they almost always wind up in failure.
Goals are important, make no mistake. They are vital to the success of anything desired in life. However, the key to success in fat loss is making small, more reasonable goals.
As an example, if you are 50 pounds over fat, a goal of losing 5 pounds in one month is very doable. As any adult knows (especially those with children), a month flies by. When the goal is achieved, no matter how small, you feel good, empowered and successful.
Keep your goals small and your losses will be big!
