Hi there,

When setting your weight loss target, we recommend that you set smaller steps of either 10% or a stone rather than going for the full amount. Then when you reach this, go back and set the next step.

This is far more motivating than just focusing on a final goal weight which can seem a distant and daunting challenge, particularly if you have a lot of weight to lose (the drop down list of goal weights shows the % weight loss in brackets so you can see what 10% is).

When you reach a weight loss milestone of 10% or 1 stone, we suggest that you reset your Personal Details. This won't happen automatically as the system allows members flexibility over the decision to reset targets.

Resetting your Personal Details m ay have the effect of reducing down your daily calorie target - as your body becomes lighter, your calorie requirement will reduce. Generally this is only a small gradual change, hence why we only recommend that you update your Personal Details on each big milestone of 1 stone or 10% body weight lost (no need to do it every week!).

To reset your target...  Log in and click on 'My Profile', then Personal Details tab. Enter your new start weight and select your next weight loss goal (no more than 10%) - then press the 'Save & Continue' button to update your details. (Note! This could change your goal weight date unless your weight loss has followed the rate you chose exactly. For example if you chose to lose 1 lb per week but in fact your weight loss has averaged at more than this, then your goal date will move forward. However if your weight loss averages at the rate you set of 1 lb per week, then your goal weight date will remain the same).

I hope this helps.
