I coach amateur cyclists and so oftn riders come to me with incredibly ambitious targets about losing weight and so on. I always steer them away from such targets. i prefer to get people to focus on the process on a daily basis and the eventual goals will take care of themselves. i completely agree about setting realistic goals. I would perhaps go a stage further and advise that initially people set small and quite easy goals. this allows them to have early success. To make small changes and to turn those changes into permenant "good habits" that they can theen build on. I wrote a post recently about this area with regard to endurance cyclists that you may enjoy.
