Mitchell's goal was to lose 10 pounds by the end of the semester by going from 184 pounds to 174 pounds. He committed to going to the gym 3 times a week and changed his eating habits by stopping chicken nuggets and fries for dinner and starting to buy fresh meat and lower calorie foods. His influencing factors included support from brothers who exercise and access to a gym near his apartment. While he faced barriers like laziness, he utilized resources like a friend to motivate him at the gym and free access to the HUB gym. He tracked his daily weight loss progress but had not yet met his 10 pound goal due to gaining 4 pounds over a weekend visiting family where he ate and drank heavily.
