New Years a New You setting SMART Goals for Weight Loss

One of the most important parts to your weight loss journey is the goals that you set for yourself. They help you stay motivated and track your progress along the way. A general goal to lose weight is too simple. Setting SMART goals is the best way to ensure you have success with your weight loss journey.

What are SMART goals?

SMART is an acronym for specific, measurable, achievable, result-focused, and timely. Being specific with your goals can help you retain your focus on those goals. SMART goals will provide clarity and definition to the goals that you are reaching for. Setting these SMART goals will help with your motivation and vision as you begin working toward your goals.

How can SMART goals help with weight loss?

The long-term goals that you set can help you focus on the big picture and can shift your thinking from losing weight, to making lifestyle changes. However, long term goals can feel nearly impossible to reach. Setting smaller, short-term goals may prove to be more beneficial to you. SMART goals can help you ensure that your goals are attainable and achievable, leading to your success. Your goals should fit the SMART guidelines but set in order to meet your own expectations.
