Mission 3: Flick On The Action Switch
Now that we’ve done important work laying the psychological groundwork for success, it’s time to turn to the physical.
We need a goal to aim for, and a way to chart our progress, as we get slimmer.
Having a goal can be empowering and motivating. But when it comes to weight loss, things get complicated.
Many people have negative associations with weight-loss goals – perhaps having lost and re-gained weight in the past, or having failed to reach the number they’d aimed for.
Not only that, but the number on the scale can fluctuate in a way that doesn’t represent either the actions we’re taking or the overall trend in our body shape. It can be demoralizing when we’re taking the right actions and our body shape is improving, but the scales shout ‘failure’!
Because weight – kilograms or pounds on the scale – is such a loaded concept and can be a tricky measure, we’re going to use different ways both to set our goal and measure our progress.
This approach will bypass the tyranny of the scales and put your focus where it brings the best weight-loss returns.

Wear a pair of pants without a muffin top.
Getting out of my husband’s clothes and back into mine!
My big goal is to look good in a pair of skinny jeans tucked into boots. I love the look but the look does not love me.
I want to fit into a pair of my OLD favorite jeans, and at the same time be comfortable in them, without feeling like there is fat rolling out every where.
I like this plan of selecting a non-weight goal. I knew right away what my goal would be–fitting into my hiking pants, the same ones I wore two summers ago when I first hiked the Bright Angel trail. They are about a size and a half smaller than I am now. It’s doable by summer. All I have to do is M O V E Move, Only eat small portions, Vanish those inches and bad habits, and Energize with exercise!
My ultimate goal is to wear size 12 pants; that’s where I was when I felt most confident and attractive. That will take over a year. In the meantime, my short-term goal is to be able to wear my current pants all day comfortably instead of longing to change into my pj’s!
I will measure success by how close I am to being able to borrow my younger sisters’ clothes (size 16) i will get up and go for a walk when uni work gets to me. I will mow the lawn myself, even though I hate it and I will walk the dogs
I will gage my success by lossing inches off my hips and waist.
Feeling more comfortable in my own skin… this weight makes me very self conscious in my movements.
My goal is to fit comfortably in clothes I bought last summer!
Mission 3 completed!
I would like to be able to tuck in my shirt and wear a cute belt. I would also love a pair of boots but my calves are too big to buy a pair right now
Mission 3 completed! My treadmil no longer just hangs out in the corner of the room holding up clothes and my tennis shoes have found a new use =) I am discovering a new love for exercise in 10 mins at a time! (several times daily).
Get on that treadmill daily, girl. Make it important, just like cleaning my teeth
I have a cute dress I really love and want to wear to a wedding this summer. Pants fitting better would be great!!
I will gage my success by if I can fit into a size 14 pant by October.
1 am going to et off my diabetes meds.
I will measure my success in inches. I’ll find a good tool for keeping my measurements and look forward to my weekly measurements. I will stay away from the scale.
I have some really cute Zumba tops that I would love to wear but can’t just yet. I believe they will look great at my goal.
I really want to be able to sit down without my belly squishing over my waistband. And I want those little rolls of back fat to DIE.
