(ST. JOSEPH, Mo.) Setting weight loss goals is one of the hardest steps to losing weight.
How much do you need to lose?
Sometimes, we choose a number based on what we used to weigh or even what we've always wanted to weigh, but is that the right approach?
If you're trying to lose weight but don't know where to start, you're not alone.
Experts say by starting off small with weight goals, you stay on track and the goals are easier to be met.
"If you set a small goal then you can work on trying to obtain it and see what you need to be doing to either get motivated or find whatever support you need to make it," says Jessica Anderson, registered dietitian for Heartland.
Dietitians say that's the only way you can push yourself to where you want to be.
Our weight loss goals are usually based on what we think we should look like rather than what's reasonable for our bodies.
