Doctors and dieticians
recommend a 10% weight loss as an ideal & achievable first step. There are big health benefits in losing just 10% of your body weight! Focus on step 1 and once you've achieved it, reset your target to lose 10% more until you reach your goal...

For example
A 6ft male weighing 14st 7lbs, wanting to weigh 12st 6lbs is aiming for a loss of 14% body weight....

  • Set your first goal at 13st - this is a weight loss of 1st 7lbs or 10%.
  • Then when you reach it, reset your target to your final goal weight of 12st 6lbs - for the remaining 8lbs.

(Metric: A male weighing 92.1kg aiming for 78.9kg should first aim for 82.8kg, then reset the target for the final 3.5kg)

Tips for goal setting

  • Set a first step of 10% weight loss - check the figure in brackets. Step milestones are more motivating.
  • Don't be tempted to go for the weight you were in your teens or pre-family. Our bodies change as we get older so be realistic.
  • If the goal you want isn't showing, it's because the weight loss would be more than 20%. Start with a 10% step first, then come back and reset your goal once you reach it.

What rate of weight loss is right for me?

  • Up to 2lbs per week is the recommended, safe rate of sustainable weight loss.
  • You won't be given an unrealistic calorie target, but if you'd prefer a higher allowance, choose 0.5lbs or 1lb per week.
  • You can come back at any time and change your rate of weight loss.
