Sean P Mahoney

     Is setting a goal to fit in to your favorite pair of jeans powerful enough? How about a goal to lose weight and drop 15 pounds by the time you head to Cancun for your beach vacation ?

    As a lifelong student of goal setting, I don't believe that this type of short-term goal is powerful enough to create any significant, long-term changes in our behaviors. There are ways, however, that we can increase the chances of success with our weight loss and overall physique goals.

    Before we dive into some concrete steps that will help you start making faster and long lasting changes, let's take a brief look at how your brain works and how this can help you with your fat loss and ideal body goals.
