First short-term goal...

[Mrs Roch]

Had 2nd weigh-in last night and lost 2 and three quarter pounds making my total for the two weeks ten pound and a quarter . Was a bit disappointed last night because I felt like I'd lost more but it is TOTM.

My first short-term goal is to lose a stone by 28th October so 3 pound and three quarters to go.....

Next short-term goal will be to lose 10lb from 28th Oct to 16th Nov for a friends wedding...

Next short-term goal will be to lose another stone from 16th Nov to first office Christmas party on 16th Dec and then another 7lb before Christmas day...

Setting myself short-term goals is a new thing for me and I'm really hoping they keep me a bit more focused.

Does anyone else set themselves these shorter goals.. sometimes the long-term goal can be quite daunting.

Hi Mrs Roch,firstly well done on your weight loss 10 1/4 pounds in 2 weeks is very good. Alot of peeps dont loose loads on the second week but make up for it on the 3rd week.Considering you had a visit from Tomtom u did well to loose weight lol

Most peeps set small goal just like u have and the goals u have set are are achievable goals and i am sure u will exceed them.

Take care and have a good day xx

Good luck with all your other "smaller goals"...

Well done Mrs Roch - sounds like your short term goals are just the inspiration needed !

[Mini]

Roch has explained very well that around totm you could be retaining up-wards of 5lbs.in water retention as this is very common.

Mini goals is the only way as some of us have major weight to lose that to look at it in one big chuck is too over whelming and seems so far out of reach.

Most of us do smaller ones that are more achievable along with the challenges, like Bonfire night and the Christmas Challenge.

We do like to rewards ourselves with non food treat/treats for each little mini goal...cosmetics, magazine, etc.

D_Q puts a £1 coin in a jar for each pound she loses

I now have a very nice little collection of fashion jewelery, which is cheap and cheerful and a magazine collection that needs sorting

And for the bigger goals I do treat myself to something very special...

Well done on your weight loss this week and here is to another good one next week.

Love Mini xxx

[Mrs Roch]

Thanks Mini - I was bit disappointed with 2 and bit this week but I think it's because I'm already starting to feel such a difference in my clothes and so had got excited about going to get weighed

Am keeping positive though and like others have said, I'm hoping for a good weight loss next week - Thursday will come round quick enough...

Thanks again..

Hi Mrs Roch, congrats on your weight loss.

I have set myself a long term goal and a short term goal, but I might look into setting a couple more short term goals to keep myself inspired and raring to go .

[Mrs Roch]

Great, let me know what they are... and we're keep each other spured on..

[demon]

WELL DONE that's a great loss for TOTM
