How to update your targets, timeline, or focus areas as your needs evolve.
What Can Be Adjusted
Target Weight
Update your goal weight based on new information, how you’re feeling, or changed priorities. Your coach helps ensure targets are healthy and realistic.
Timeline
Extend or shorten your timeline. Life changes — a new job, health issue, or busy season might require adjusting your pace. Slower and steady often beats aggressive and unsustainable.
Focus Areas
Shift what you’re working on. Maybe you started focused on portions but now want to work on emotional eating. Your coach can pivot the approach to match your current needs.
Mode: Loss vs Maintenance
Switch between active weight loss and maintenance mode. Many members reach their target and continue coaching to sustain their progress long-term.
When to Consider Adjusting
- Your goal feels unrealistic. If you’re consistently stressed about targets, they might be too aggressive. Sustainable progress beats burnout.
- Your circumstances changed. New job, health diagnosis, family situation — major life changes often require goal adjustments.
- You’ve reached your target. Congratulations! Now it’s time to shift from loss to maintenance mode.
- Your priorities shifted. Maybe you cared most about the scale, but now you care more about energy levels or relationship with food.
- You’re not making progress. If you’ve been stuck for weeks, your approach might need adjusting — not just your effort.

Common Questions
Will my coach judge me for changing goals?
Absolutely not. Goal adjustment is a normal part of the process. Your coach has seen it many times and will support whatever makes sense for your life right now.
What if I want to pause weight loss temporarily?
That’s fine. You can shift to maintenance mode during stressful periods, holidays, or life transitions. Your coach will help you maintain progress without pushing for more loss.
Can I make goals more aggressive?
If you’re doing well and want to push harder, your coach can discuss it. They’ll help you find the balance between ambitious and sustainable — avoiding the yo-yo pattern.
How often can I change goals?
As often as needed, though constant changes can make it hard to see progress. Your coach will help you find the right balance between flexibility and consistency.
