Default Help setting goals

Hi all, I'm fairly new here. I understand setting goals to work towards seems to be important. It might sound silly but how do you chose your goals?

I'm 6.9" BPEL x 5.1 EGM and was thinking of 8"x6" as a longterm goal, does that sound reasonable/realistic? I guess it can be modified later. What about mid-term goals?

Welcome to the PE Gym, spunk.

A long-term goal of 8x6 isn't unreasonable--especially with your starting stats. You may also want to pick a short-term goal, as you mentioned. The little goals help keep you motivated, so it doesn't seem like you're trying to eat a whole elephant at once. You may want to start with a short-term goal of say, 7.25 X 5.25, and then gradually add more and more as you reach the little goals.

Hope this helps,
rem

I agree, just start off with the ear or the tail first =D

Hey, thanks for the replies and advice. That sounds like a good short-term goal to me, a good way to begin eating an elephant!

Yeah, thought you'd get a kick out of the Elephant penis reference.
