What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

Crafty_camper123

My Florida vacation this summer is now confirmed. Something fun to look forward to and looking my best is giving me a bit of an extra push for the next couple of months. After that? I want to keep progressing with my calisthenics and yoga moves. I can do a few pushups, some full sit-ups, and do squats till the cows come home. What can I accomplish by August? Becoming better everyday is what keeps me going.

To hit the 50 pound loss number. I'm currently at 47.8 pounds lost. Going to Wrigley field in July & I want to be able to take my shirt off in public without being embarrassed. Getting closer every day

Met my goal of 130 before Memorial Day weekend!

New goal of 70 lbs lost, which means only .4 to go! (128.2)

Mini goal is to get to 135lbs....only 2 pounds to go. The will officially mean that I am done with the weight loss portion! I set a maintenance range of 135-140! I'm losing slowly now and not really stressing so I don't know how long it will take. In my mind I am aiming for the end of June.
Another mini goal for summer is to work on my core strength, adding ab workouts at the end of my daily routine. Lots of work to do in that department!

Just today met my first mini goal of 12 pounds. It puts me back to 190 which is where I started MFP the first time in 2012. I am rewarding myself with a little shopping this weekend. New goal is 180!

Mini-goal is not letting it get to my head. Currently visiting some family members who haven't seen me in more than two years so I'm getting a lot of those 'Wow, you've lost a lot of weight, good for you!' comments. I've still got as much as 20 pounds to go, but knowing me this type of positive reinforcement will have me getting overconfident rather than motivating me to work even harder, and I don't want to end up thinking to myself, 'Well, this is good enough,' then get lazy.

@HDBKLM want us to message at the end of your trip to remind you?

Hahaha awesome, and yes why not! You and anybody else who would like to send me a 'B**** get over yourself, you're still fat' message this coming Tuesday should feel free to add me.

Just went to my conference and am pretty happy with how I ate

To gain only 20 lbs this pregnancy.

After being told that there would be no tri season for me I got cleared to do a super sprint tri at the end of the season after radiation is done! I also need to lose 10 lbs to get back to my comfort zone.

I've got a 5K on Saturday and then over the fourth of July I'm meeting some friends from high school I haven't seen in 25 years.

Hmm the end of this message was supposed to say: this week I am going to lose 5lbs- Hawaii here I come

Loss 29 lbs so far, my short term goal is to lose 14 more lbs to get me closer to my goal of weighing 165 lbs. And I made it into my other short term goal of wearing a size 14.

NanP135

To get below 150, I have had a few rough weeks but it will pass as many events are now gone.

If you use a phone emoji, it will cut off all text after the emoji, @JessiBelleW

Tummy tuck covered by insurance.

I lost nearly 200lbs over 2 years by eating at a caloric deficit and moderate exercise. I stopped losing because my stomach flap was getting really bad and prone to infection. After a year, I still have the flap and have maintained my weight +/-5lbs. Because of a nasty infection last month, my insurance is covering my tummy tuck as being medically necessary.

So now I am trying to drop as much as (safely) possible before my surgery on Aug. 2nd. Both my GP and Platic surgeon support this weight loss pre-surgery. Per my plastic surgeon, the looser my skin is pre-op, the easier the removal will be; ends up better results.

OK this is a weird one - I have always kind of wanted to pose as a life model for an art class (i.e. student artists draw me naked). I am going to do it this Saturday! I think it will be a fun, positive experience and I'm looking forward to seeing the artists' work. But it's definitely making me want to take it easy on the treats this week, haha.

I want to stop getting the "you're doing great!"'s when I'm out running. Not because I dont like them - in fact, I appreciate when people recognize how hard I'm working - but because I want to look like someone who doesn't need the extra encouragement if that makes sense.. hahaha

emmies_123

1. To be able to use my weights for the entire portion of strength training workout (currently at 60-75% depending on day).

2. To be able to start a HIIT routine in July and not feel like I'm overdoing it

I’ve got one final pair of size 14 jeans, that still muffin top on me. I wanna shrink into them and have them fit perfectly preferably before I fly home June 1st

Well last night they fitted perfectly! Alas today they are too tight! Guess I need to shrink some more before I can wear them

Well I wore them out in public yesterday and today

Next goal: the biggest of the 12s. They are blue and cute. Also lose 5lbs

blnetsova

To meet my first goal: 10 pounds, and my best friend is coming to visit end of June, so I want to see her face when she sees my progress.

Lora2380

To fit a medium shirt properly.... going shopping this weekend so we’ll see if I’ve dropped enough, fingers crossed!!

beachbody4l

I am only about .6 pound away from my lowest adult weight. So close!

kalyn_QT

I'm doing mini increments of 10 pounds each. I'm 2.4 pounds away from 50 pounds down! Also my lowest adult weight ever. Hoping to hit it by early June.

summpear

The honest jeans fit without a muffin top.

I'm so glad you posted this. When I first started weightlifting, those comments were ambiguous--did I look like I needed encouragement? I couldn't tell. I tried to take them in the best possible light, but they made me wonder.

Now, when I get complements on my weightlifting, I know that it's because I actually look great. A lot of women have been complementing me recently, and I just now realized that I have no doubts anymore.

Thanks for helping me with insight, and good luck with your running

I'm almost overweight rather than obese!

SalinitySally

Going across the country next week to visit extended family who haven’t seen me in awhile and I want to be 25 pounds lighter than I was at Christmas.

ljashley1952

Mini-goal for this month is to lose 5 pounds. My son is getting married in a month, so I would like to be well on into some weight loss.
