Hi, I'm on Day 2 of week 1 and need to lose 6 stone, following advice from people on the 'main' forum I am going to break this down into smaller chunks (appropriate word!), so my first goal is 7lbs! Otherwise I think the amount is just too overwhelming 🙂

I have to lose at least 4stone and I have broken it down into 7 lb chunks too ..
first one down after 3 weeks .. so I am feeling really positive
Good luck
I agree, it seems so much more achievable when you set yourself mini goals, maybe treat yourself each time you reach your goal?
Good luck to you.
First time ever replying (to Newbie's post) Hope I'm doing this right-
Go for it! Such a good idea to focus on the 'really-NOT-insignificant' goal of half a stone. Wow. I'm going to do similar. Then you'll have made real progress. A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step is one of my favourite sayings. Please don't think I'm referring to your weight loss goal as a thousand miles, but for me it can often feel like it - and yet if we don't move forward we ain't gonna get there!
Very sensible victoria1969 😊
I hope you have had chance to read all the information in the September Newbie Club post, please ask if you have any questions 😊
Hi victoria1969
It is definitely a lot easier to break it down into small 'chunks'. I need to lose more than you so I know how daunting it is.
Every pound counts though and they say that just losing 5% of your weight will have positive results on your health.
Good luck reaching that first goal

Brilliant strategy!
You're so right to set yourself smaller, manageable targets victoria1969 .
Very best of luck.
