Realistic Weight Loss Goals
I mean after watching someone lose 31 pounds in 1 week how thrilled are you going to be at losing 2 pounds in that same amount of time?
Ordinarily, 2 pounds would be an outstanding pace at which to lose weight each week, but with TV shows and infomercials advertising double-digit weekly weight loss results it's hard to be that impressed with a couple of pounds here and another few there.
I'm here today to tell you that if you achieve a 1% weight loss per week you should be really proud of yourself. For example if you weigh 160 pounds and you lost 1% that would equal a 1.6 pound weight loss. This is a realistic goal to shoot for each week, and better yet, your results will be far more likely to be permanent.
So unless you plan on giving up your day job and dedicating your life to losing weight, it's a much better idea (and healthier) to aim for a 1% weight loss per week through both a balanced nutrition and exercise program.
