How to lose 40 pounds by Mynde Mayfield

"slow & steady wins the race ;)"

How I did it: set a weekly goal. weekly works better when you have a longer way to go OR if you are teaching yourself a new style of life, preferably one that's gonna stick around.

my weekly average was 1.5 lbs per week. i started 10/01/2010. Some weeks I didn't loose anything, but the next week I'd bounce back. 

It was waaaay easier to go easier on me in this process by having a weekly goal as opposed to staring down the big "FOUR-OH" and counting down (boo!)

Right on

Short sprints are better than focusing on the overall goal. I’m doing it monthly with a lower weekly target, but the principle is the same.
