What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

Tim_Redfearn

I'm about 3lbs from my goal weight of 215lbs (I might try to go even lower but that was my starting goal - My starting weight was 237lbs May 1st). I am also trying to be able to dumbbell press 75's (currently at 65's)

To lose the 20 pounds I gained in this last year and look decent for my 20 year reunion in September.

My short term goal is to get back to onederland. I hit 210 this morning which puts me at at 20 pound loss so far.

VeggieBarbells

To deadlift twice my body weight, currently at 1.97

I ate like an unsupervised 6-year-old over my vacation. My current mini goal is to get back into the 160's.

queenofpuppies

being able to run a 5k without stopping by the beginning of September, right now I get winded about half way. I am going to try 5 times a week in August as part of my end of summer conditioning plan to be on my A game for the new school year

new mini goal, get through the Davina Mccall superfit workout without having to walk through the second half of it...

Yes! My mini goal is to stop putting cream in my coffee! I figured that I use about 3 T of light cream per cup, twice a day. There are 30 calories in 1 T of light cream. That is 180 calories a day! Add that up over a year and its 1260 calories a week, 5400 calories a month, 64,800 calories a year. By eliminating this one indulgence, I can lose 18 lbs in one year! Its amazing what one indulgence can cost in weight gain!

Goal 1- drop 10 lbs by end of September
Goal 2- drop 10 more by Xmas. Once 20 lbs down - I'm going to treat myself to an Apple Watch ⌚️ (wanted one for a long time).
Goal 3- drop another 10 by end of June 2018

That one helped me a lot. For me, It was all about experimenting with different brands. I mostly drink coffee only black now, but it can't be just any coffee. Back when I was using a lot of cream and sugar it didn't matter if I actually like the way the coffee tasted because I couldn't taste it.

3 lbs to get into the 140's.

My mini goal was to lose 15lbs by the time I go to Vegas on august 10th. Since I was at 14.4 yesterday I think I've made that goal. Lol. Now my goal is just getting back to a normal routine. I had lost almost 90lbs. Put it back on after a bad back injury and depression. Finally starting to feel like myself again. Was given the ok to get back to yoga. It's a new start. Each day is a mini goal of small progress.

Get into the "healthy" range in my BMI. I'm only .7 points away I think. I'm so excited. I only once before was in the healthy range, it was for 3 months in 2011.

shampbj

To get back into the bridesmaid dress I wore to my best friend's wedding four years ago. I've lost 25 lbs since this time last year. Tried the dress on this week and I can just barely zip it up but it is super tight. I've got another wedding to go to in just over a month--I want the dress to be looser and comfy!

Crafty_camper123

To shave a few seconds off my mile each time I run on the treadmill. Longer term is run a whole mile without stopping or having to walk.

VeronicaA76

Size 8 shorts.

NanP135

making it through a week of travel and then being back on track and looking forward to less busy fall/winter to really focus on my fitness again

jenovatrix

Getting out of obese and into overweight. 6 pounds to go.

Brans34

Getting out of the 140's forever! I'm so close!! Only 2 lbs to go until I see that 3 in the ten's place. Then the key will be to keep going DOWN, instead of bouncing up and down in a 6 lb range for another 3 months.

PJ100LBGOAL

Just to get under 300lbs. It's been at least 7 years since I've been under 300 lbs. I've lost 20# so far and got 12# more to go to get to 299lbs.

jordandills

I want to be out of the 150s on my vacation at the end of August (27 days, 3.8 lbs), and a healthy BMI by my first 5K in October (almost 3 months, 9 lbs).

goalpeace

30 days consistency

sanfly

For reference: F/38/159cm (5'3"-ish). HW: 84kg (2005), SW: 70.2kg (this time... 1 July) , CW: 65.7kg, GW1: 63kg (healthy BMI)

I wanted to read ALL the mini-goals posts in this thread before posting. - Finally done! Its taken me over a month to get through 113 pages, but you guys have kept me inspired and helped to keep me on track. Have hit a few mini-goals of my own in the meantime...

1. 68kg - traditionally a 'barrier' weight for me - get a pedicure. Done
2. Run Melbourne 10Km in an hour or less - no special treat - Done! Completed in 59.07!
3. 66kg - no particular reason - get a Google Home. Done as of this morning!

4. 65.3kg - lowest recorded weight of 2016 - no special treat - 0.4kg to go!
5. 63.9kg - lowest recorded weight ever (2014) - get a pedicure - 1.8kg to go!
6. 63kg - Healthy BMI, have never been here in my adult life! - Super pretty running/multi-sport/smart watch - 2.7kg to go!
7. Melbourne half marathon in ideally 2hrs or less, will decide a bit further into training - 15th October.


The Google Home treat is a big one for me, I'm a mega tech-geek and have been wanting one since it was first announced by Google, but it only became available here about 2 weeks ago. Rather than just rushing out and buying it straight away I decided to make it a mini-goal treat, has definitely been pushing me this week! Cant wait to go shopping at lunch time!

I'm hoping to get to 63kg at least a couple of weeks before the half so that I have my watch (and am familiar with it) by race day.

Mini goal: to drop 4 more pounds and reach THE GOAL that I started out with! Of course, I moved the goalposts on what the ultimate goal weight is, but getting down to 225 will still be an occasion for celebration for me.

I also have a new goal of completing C25K. Day one was yesterday, and it went much better than anticipated (and worlds better than my previous attempt from a year ago).

kcerrillo

To loose 15lbs this month. I'm 2 weeks in 8lbs down

I have two mini goals I am working on at the moment. First is to reach healthy BMI (2.6kg / 5.7lbs to go) then to reach my lowest weight since having my son 7 years ago (6.8kg / 15 lbs left). I hope these don't take too long to accomplish.

UPDATE: Reached normal BMI today
