You are not going to lose 10-15 pounds per week unless you are on a TV show, holed up in a canyon with personal trainers, doctors and nutritionists. Don't even think about it. Set mini-goals as you work your way towards a bigger goal.Decide on your big picture goal. A realistic goal might be to lose fifty pounds in eight months. Then decide on a small goal for yourself that you can reach more quickly such as losing two pounds in the next week. When you reach this small goal, enjoy the feeling of success. Celebrate each step of the way, you deserve it! This will make the entire journey more enjoyable.One more thought about goals. To make a goal truly inspirational you will want to include more than just weight loss. Include details about how you will look and feel in your new clothes. Write it down and refer to it often.2. Broadcast it to the world. Declare your intentions out loud. Let everyone know that you are losing weight. Tell your friends, post it online and shout it out your window if it helps. Do whatever you need to do to let people know. It may sound crazy but when you let everyone know what your goals are they become so much more real and tangible.Post pictures of your journey online. Everyone enjoys seeing before and after shots of people who have been successful at losing weight. Besides having your clothes fit more loosely, it's the easiest way to see the results.You might be pleasantly surprised to find that you are the one providing motivation and inspiration to others just like Oprah has been to many. Your friends will share their stories with you and you can take the journey together.3. Surround yourself with success.

Choose not to listen to them and seek out the company of others who encourage you.Your weight loss may be making them nervous and they may unintentionally sabotage your success. They may not see your loss as their gain. Reasons could include a fear that you won't want to hang out with them anymore. Or it may highlight that they were unable to the get the same results that you are getting.To ignore the unhelpful comments of others, use self hypnosis.
