Another quick tip- set *reasonable* goals. I personally wouldn't tie the goals to weight loss, because your body composition can change (less fat more muscle) without a change in weight. What I would do it set goals related to fitness feats you'd like to be able to preform.
For example, set a goal to improve your bench press by 20 LBs in the next month, or your mile run time by a minute.
The reason? Motivation- you'll WANT to work harder when you start accomplishing the goals you set for yourself.
