A brief motivational YouTube clip by Jim Katsoulis advising people to measure weight-loss progress as a percentage of their ultimate goal to increase motivation. He gives a concrete example: if the goal is to lose 40 lb and you've lost 10 lb, reframe that as being 25% of the way to the goal to give progress more context and meaning.

How to measure your weight loss for the most motivation. Let's just say you want to lose 40 pounds ultimately and you've lost 10 pounds. Instead of saying, well, I've lost 10 pounds instead, start to say, I'm 25% of the way to my goal. Measure your success in terms of how close you are towards your goal, because now it gives it more context and meaning and you're going to find that it's much more motivating.
