Weekly Review for Weight Loss: Five Minutes on Sunday

A week can feel like it went well or badly without telling you much. The weekly review shows your week in numbers, then asks three questions so you end with one clear change.

How it works

  1. 1Look at your week: days you showed up, habits done, urges paused, resets and reframes.
  2. 2Write what went well.
  3. 3Write what got in the way. Look for the situation, not a flaw in you.
  4. 4Choose one thing to change next week. It can be a new plan for a hard moment.

Why it helps

  • Regular self-monitoring and review are among the most consistent features of approaches that help people keep weight off.
  • Choosing one change keeps the next week focused instead of overwhelming.

Questions

What day should I do it?

Any day that works every week. Many people like Sunday, before the new week starts.
