R2 P2 VLCD 6: Goal Setting

Today has been a difficult day for me with the time change. I know have 25 hours I need to keep myself from going off the program. I have been doing fairly well. I was thinking about setting some goals and putting them down on paper to make them real. I came up wiht a list of mini goals that will be easier to obtain that just stating "I want to lose 75 pounds". Here is what I came up with:

Goal 1: 177.5 be overweight not obese
Goal 2: 175
Goal 3: 174 40 pound weight loss
Goal 4: 170
Goal 5: 164, 50 pound weight loss
Goal 6: 160
Goal 7: 154, 60 pound weight loss
Goal 8: 150
Goal 9: 147.8 be a normal weight not overweight
Goal 10: 144, 70 pound weight loss
Goal 11: 140
Goal 12: 134 80 pound weight loss
Goal 13:130
Goal 14: 128.6

147.9 (>25% BMI) to 177.5 (>30% BMI) for 5’ 4.5” overweight
109.5 (18.5% BMI) to 147.8 (25% BMI) for 5’ 4.5” normal weight
Under 109.5 (<18.5% BMI) for 5’ 4.5” underweight

I am trying to come up with some "treats" or rewards for hitting these goals. (This was discussed as a question of the day on spark people) A lot of people said they treated themselves to mani's and pedi's. Which work but I want to think of some other great things to use too. So, now the plan is to come up with my list of rewards.

I have also decided to make a gold star poster. For every pound or 5 pounds I lose I will put a gold star on it. (Yes, like Weight Watchers.) I think the visualization will help me out. I might make squares for every pound I need to lose and fill it in with a star. I will have to let you know what I come up with! :)
