Let’s look at some important tips to help with setting goals for Fat Loss and being more sustainable to achieve your goals long term.
1. Create SMART goals—specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. This method of goal setting has been extensively researched and is regarded as best practice for enhancing the likelihood that your goals will be accomplished (Doran, 1981). The best place to start is by taking baseline measurements using the Evolt 360 body scanner.
2. Set difficult but attainable goals. Setting high standards for yourself can increase your chances of success, according to research (Locke and Latham, 2002).
3. Outline your objectives. According to studies, those who write down their goals are more likely to succeed (Gollwitzer, 1990).
4. Divide your objectives into more achievable, smaller steps. As a result, the process of accomplishing your goals may feel less overwhelming and may keep you motivated (Lippke et al., 2009).
5. Monitor your development. Regularly analyzing your results can help you stay motivated and, if required, change your plan (Lippke et al., 2009). You can keep better track of your progress if you use the Evolt Active App in addition to routine Evolt 360 scans.
6. Look for social help. Your chances of succeeding in accomplishing your goals can be increased by having a network of encouraging friends and relatives (Fuchs et al., 2013).
7. Talk to yourself well. Positive self-talk may keep you motivated and increase your confidence in your abilities to reach your goals (Bandura, 1982).
8. Look for a mentor or role model. Having someone to aspire to and mimic can give you inspiration and direction as you strive towards your goals (Madera et al., 2012).
9. Visualize your achievement. You may keep yourself motivated and concentrated by visualizing yourself accomplishing your goals (Lippke et al., 2009).
10. Give yourself praise for accomplishments and growth. You may maintain motivation by acknowledging minor victories along the way and promote constructive behaviour (Lippke et al., 2009).
Remember goals provide a measurable way to track your progress. By setting specific targets, such as losing a certain number of pounds or inches, you can regularly assess how far you’ve come and make adjustments if needed. Tracking progress with the Evolt 360 boosts confidence and helps you stay on track.
