Question about "goal"

[d.kurz]

On WISH is it a goal I set? 'Cause I never liked WW's goal for me.

Mine is the goal I set...Since I am on Atkins, I chose where I thought I would look good and checked the guideline for my height and weight

TOTALLY!!!

Goals are super to have! You can have one final goal, or you can break that down into lots of mini goals (like clippie changes, those are great motivators!!!) Make sure you celebrate when you reach your goals too - treat yourself to something NICE!!!!

For reaching my final goal, DH is taking me out dancing at Latin Quarter in CityWalk!!! I can't wait! I have the perfect skirt and top to wear that I got LAST FALL and have never worn yet! D'oh!

You just set your goal and run with it! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

Goal examples:

~Reach a certain weight by a certain date (or just reach the weight)

~Fit into a certain size

~Fit back into some old clothes you have that have been impossible to wear for whatever reason

~Run a mile in X minutes

~Lower your cholesterol/triglycerides

~Control diabetes

~Buy clothes you have always wanted to wear but never thought you could

Get the picture? HAVE FUN setting your goals!!!

Dorothy,
I agree with Karen (TigH). The goals you set should be YOURS, and not ever anyone elses!! I have seen alot of people reach their WW goals and I think that is GREAT!.

But remember who are you doing this for? (the answer should be for yourself...lol).

WW may be able to set a "Someday" goal for you, but you are the one in CONTROL!! Just remember that! This is about you getting healthy! You can do it!! We will be here for you!

Hi, Dorothy!!!

Like everyone else said, your goal is YOUR goal for yourself!

Where do YOU want to be? (Weight, clothing size, some other kind of measurement?)

I have an "official" Weight Watchers goal for purposes of lifetime membership, but that's not really my honestly-truly-in-my-heart personal goal. Depending on so very many factors, WW goal might be significantly lower than your own goal, or a bit above it. (As long as your own real goal is not below the WW minimum for your age and height, I'll enthusiastically support whatever goal you choose!)

Our purpose here is to Stay Healthy!!! (That doesn't mean we all have to strive to look like waifish supermodels. Although I suppose that could happen. )

You will keep on striving until you reach you very own personal goal, then you work on maintaining that awesome shape you've achieved. With the help and continuing support of your WISH buddies, of course!
