Frustration with weight loss often arises when individuals lack specific, measurable goals. Vague objectives make it challenging to track progress. Establishing quantitative goals provides clarity, allowing for precise planning and tracking. For instance, aiming to lose 20 lbs in 3 months translates to a measurable weekly target. Additionally, individuals often struggle with accurately counting calories, which impedes weight loss. Setting a clear timeframe not only outlines progress but also instills urgency necessary for commitment and consistency in weight management efforts.
When we hear someone say they're not losing weight or that they're not progressing, we first ask, 'Ok, what are your goals?' Many people will provide a very vague 'goal' such as... it's difficult to gauge how far you've come and how much farther you need to go.
Therefore, you need a quantitative goal - a goal you can measure. For example; 'I want to lose 20lbs in 3 months', 'I want to bench two plates in 6 months', 'I want to drop 3 dress sizes by the wedding in 4 months'.
Once you have identified your goal, you can write a precise plan, follow it, and track it.
