I've never really been any good at this... I always reach too high and
fall too far if you get my drift. So here's something reasonable, I
think to start off with. Today is January 17, 2004. I am 5'4" tall and
currently weigh 257.75 LBS.

MY GOAL: By June 17, 2004, I'd like to loose 30 lbs. and weigh in at
227.

I find short term goals work better for me. For one thing, you can
achieve them and that makes you feel good and ready to set the next
goal. Whereas longer term goals tend to be easier to forget about.

Also, if you make the goals directly dependent on the scale, it can be
far easier to be disappointed. Not everyone's body loses weight in a
regular or quick fashion.

Might be better to set some goals for how often you exericise, or how
many healthy meals you eat a week.

Mind you, long term goals are fine too, but it's good to have those
in-between goals... and goals that aren't entirely focused on what the
scale says too.
