Goal setting for effective weight loss, starts with a reasonable goal and date to achieve it by.

After that, for each “weekly weigh in” registered users are asked to enter their weight and and the amount lost or gained is averaged into the goal. An example is if I want to lose 25 lbs. and I have 17 weeks to do it, the average amount a week is 1.5 lbs. The new weight is subtracted or added to the previous weight to determine success or failure of the goal for that week, and a green thumbs up is shown on the screen or a red thumbs down with additional tips about diet and exercise that can help achieve the goal for the next week.For three thumbs down, the participant is kicked out of the program until there is an assessment by a personal trainer. If you’re in the green, you’ll be rewarded for it by working your way up a weekly printout of the leaderboard.

Each red thumbs down is a decision point, and includes helpful suggestions for nutritional awareness with calorie and exercise suggestions with metabolism benefits.There is a significant difference in weight loss results for those who make us of an effective science-based weight management program

Social Media

I see this as a collective strategy for losing weight and keeping it off for the long run. Without the app, effort and good record keeping is needed to calculate with deliberate attention to daily details.

Motivation

With the use of “Captain” for diet and exercise there is significant difference in weight loss results on a weekly basis, due to motivation. 

At the end of the day, it is important for you to have the tools in place to give you the feedback you need to understand how well you’ve done.

Unleash your motivation!
