And the planning stage of my weight loss program, and how I plan to navigate the pitfalls of past failures so I don’t allow them to derail my future progress. I will be sharing my Goals, the goals I’m setting for myself and my plan of action to obtain those goals. 4. And I also want to talk about something I’m dealing with right now “the dreaded plateau.” I also battle my subconscious right on the show. Is the scale a big reason why people give up on weight loss after a month or two? Can using a scale for accountability be deceiving and counterproductive your weight loss progress? Could NSV’s (Non Scale Victories) be a better measure of success?
