To set goals that are right for you, think about what you
want to change and why, and what steps you’ll take to reach your goal.
These changes don’t have to be big; even small steps can make a
difference. Also, think about who can help you and how you’ll reward
yourself for making progress.
Use this chart to set simple goals for your physical
activity and healthy eating with your health care provider. You can also ask
your family or friends to help.
