Having goals is great. And for some people, deadlines are a part of goals. But other people would be well-served by NOT putting a deadline on theirs because the pressure can work against establishing lifestyle changes. The results will come when they come if you are focusing on the behavior. Putting undue pressure on yourself to reach that goal by a certain day can either cause you to compromise and choose a quick fix fad that provides only a short term impact – or – you might develope a defeatist attitude when you realize you’re not going to make your deadline and end up throwing in the towel.

So know yourself and what kind of incentives inspire you the most.

I was feeling defeated and frustrated with my health due to a chronic illness, but Matthew and the group met me where I was at and provided the balance of grace and truth that I needed. I lost 10 lbs during my first challenge, but more importantly I learned to be faithful with my responsibilities (eating well, exercising, etc.) and to trust God with the rest.
