Hi! I'm Donna Reish, IF teacher, weight loss coach, blogger, and half of "The Minus 220 Pound Pair" as my husband and I have lost over 220 pounds together (160 of that in the past couple of years through the Weight Loss Lifestyle habits and strategies I teach!).

In this episode, I teaching about new year’s resolutions and goals—and what you will really DO for weight loss/management in the coming year. We have all heard of SMART goals. We all know that we need specific goals. We need attainable ones, etc.

There are three areas that we are often lacking when it comes to setting goals for a new year. The first one is specificity. Our goals have to be specific right down to the exact actions, times, days, and methods for carrying those out.

Then we need to be sure our goals don’t fall into one of these two pitfalls:1) Too long of a list that we can’t attain2) Repeating things that didn’t work for us before

I give many tips and research info about goal setting around those two issues—how we can only attain two to four new goals at once; how we stretch our attention too thin when we have too many; how willpower runs out when we have too many; and much more.

Then I move into learning from our past---what will we really do? What did we not like before? What did we not do before? Why do we think we will do it now?

And finally, I discuss some of my upcoming goals—how I know I will attain them. How they build self-integrity within me because of my constraint in choosing ones I can really do; how I am continuing previously established ones to improve them; and much more!
