This week, Romy and Michael talk about how many people may be self-sabotaging their lifestyle changes by setting unrealistic goals, such as losing a large amount of weight in a short period of time.
The best way to achieve sustained progress is to make small changes and give them enough time to become habit, then move on to the next set of small changes.

This week, Romy checks in to hold Michael accountable for his exercise levels.
Regular exercise can have a major impact on your body’s ability to burn more calories, and Romy runs down the difference between a sedentary person and an active person, taking into account a number of factors: age, height, weight, body composition (muscle mass), and daily activity levels.
Romy recommends using the online tool Calories Per Hour to calculate how many calories per day you should be consuming to maintain a target bodyweight based on your body size and activity levels.
