Let's get you ready for weight loss success. By the end of this prep week, you'll be set up for dropping those extra pounds! You'll have your:
Reason for wanting to lose weight. It's your motivation!
Tracking of what and how much you eat and drink.
12-week weight loss goal.
Daily calorie target.
Action goals for stepwise food and exercise changes.

Health fact
Extreme and rapid weight loss is unlikely to stay off. And it runs you down.
Your 12-week weight loss goal
It's important to choose a weight loss goal that's both healthy and safe. For many people, slow and steady truly is the way to go.
Your weight loss goal will be unique to you. If you're not sure what your 12-week weight loss goal should be, ask your provider or send your care manager a message.
If you have more you want to lose after 12 weeks, you'll simply set a new 12-week goal from there.
Goal of the day
How many pounds do you expect to lose in the next 12 weeks?
Write it down and put it where you'll see it, like on your fridge or your mirror.
How do you think you'll feel when you've reached this goal? What will have changed for you by then? What will you be enjoying about life?
And remind yourself of your motivation for wanting to lose weight.
Think of that reason every day!
