Weight Management Goals

At the beginning of weight management treatment, the patient and health care provider should discuss and agree upon weight loss goals. Realistic expectations, short- and long-term weight loss goals, may be fostered by a discussion of a healthy weight versus an ideal body weight. Goals of weight management interventions may include:

  • Prevention of weight gain or stopping weight gains in the individual who has been seeing a steady increase in his or her weight.
  • Varying degrees of improvements in physical and emotional health.
  • Small maintainable weight losses or more extensive weight losses achieved through sensible and tolerable eating and exercise behaviors.
  • Improvements in eating, exercise, and other behaviors apart from any weight loss.

Expectations and recognition of the time required to make sustainable weight management behavior changes should be discussed.
