And how much weight do you want to lose at one time? Measurable. If, for example, you want to stop biting(咬) your nails(指甲), take photos of your nails over time so you can find out your progress(进步) in how those nails grow back out. Achievable. This doesn’t mean that you can’t have big goals. Failing to achieve big goals will make you sad.

Is this a goal that really matters to you, and are you making it for the right reasons? For example, I lose weight because I want to be healthier, not because my classmates say I am fat and ugly.
