When it comes to your New Year’s Resolution to lose weight, settle on a goal – and DON’T have a backup plan. According to management professor Katy Milkman from Wharton, having a backup plan kills motivation. In studies, when people were asked to come up with a goal AND a Plan B, they were less likely to achieve their main goal. Professor Milkman says that’s because having a backup plan makes failure an option.

Pick a target range – like, “I want to lose between 15 and 20 pounds.” That works better than choosing one specific number, like “I want to lose 18 pounds.” According to research from Florida State University, people who had a number range were more likely to meet their goals. That’s because a wider range challenges you to reach the high number – and the low number gives you a goal that’s more realistic. Which helps keep you motivated.
