There is actually an acronym used in goal setting that will help - it is SMART. All goals should be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and have a definite Time frame for achieving. So if a person's goal was to lose a certain amount of weight, it would be specific, measurable - by jumping on the scale daily, the goal should be attainable as long as the person follows a good diet and exercise program and it the amount to lose is realistic. As always, any good goal needs to have a time deadline ... otherwise we will put off the diet/exercise to a more convenient time. Jonas,
