Short motivational YouTube clip by Jim Katsoulis advising a mindset shift for weight-loss tracking: convert pound-based progress into percentages of the total weight-loss goal to provide context and stronger subconscious/motivational impact (example: on a 50-pound goal, 5 lb = 10%, 10 lb = 20%).

Here's a quick weight loss tip to help with your mindset and your motivation when you're losing weight. Don't just track your weight loss in terms of pounds, because if you lose £5, £10, £15, it doesn't mean much to your subconscious mind. You want to also track in terms of percentages of how much weight you want to lose. So let's just assume you want to lose 50 pounds. Well, if you lose five pounds now, that's 10% of your goal. You lose 10 pounds, that's 20% of your goal. That's much more motivating because there's context now, and so it means a lot more to your subconscious mind.
