I’m 108 kg right now, and depending on any changes in my rate of loss it seems quite achievable.
Did you make it?
Yes I did 😊 and I even started running ahead of time. originally I wasn’t going to do C25K until after this goal but I just felt so darn motivated so I started week 3 today.
New mini goals are 92kg (overweight BMI) and completing C25K.

Congrats my friend.4 -
Trying to set 5 pound "mini goals". 190 is the next one...8

When I bought new jeans, I bought one set that were 16 straight, not 16W. I don't -quite- fit in them. That's the goal, though! I was looking forward to the point where I transitioned to straight sizes, and I guess here it is!6

Get down to 115kg from 121kg7

I want to get a good leg day in. Sigh* I’ve had the flu the past 2 days. We shall see what today brings.6

My 35th birthday is in 2 weeks. I'd like to reliably be below 180 by then (I've seen 179.8 on the scale once, but was a fluke and am more typically 182 currently).8

Back at work now after a 3 month leave. Walking on my 30 minute lunch break.7

Starting to ween off of my calorie deficit. .5 lbs for 60 pounds total lost. 3 more lbs to go from 1.5 pounds a week to 1 lb a week loss rate. Which will mean more calories to consume.5

Losing that first pound!!!11

My mini goal is to get down to 125 lbs, it’s 3 pounds away.9

Looking to GAIN just enough to discover the CICO balance point for stabilization - long term maintenance daily calorie setting.
Being conservative in upping the daily calories a week at a time as I have fewer NEAT opportunities in my life at the moment than would normally have been the case. So what I get to next may have to be increased again once Life Is Back To (semi) Normal.3 -

Getting past 184.4lbs which I haven’t done in 2 years. Achieved! Yesterday! 184! Next mini goal: Break into the 170s which I haven’t been at in decades. Walk into my 40th HS reunion one of the fittest guys in the room!15

seems that "CICO" has a different popular press interpretation than the more "basic biochemical formula" sense I was giving it -
aka balancing total calories (while maintaining % split across all sectors) (ci) against combined NEAT / intentional exercise activity (co) for desired results. I am down (lower ci) to where I want to be - time to readjust towards long-term maintenance levels (on both sides of the equation).
After reading the article, it turns out I was already in t 'CIM' camp without even knowing it existed!3 -
A slew of life events/forced changes for quarantine saw me falling backward (upward) for a while. I'll now be re-aiming for 192.7, which will be the 50-pound mark since I restarted tracking in September. That'll bring me close to 60 total from HRW as well.
Frustrating, but at least things are settling in again enough to the point where I feel like I can say that I have enough in me to try again.
Even though it's only 1.3 pounds, it will likely take a couple of weeks. This will be due to a self-enforced slow slide into deficit (to avoid shocks leading to bingeing) along with using a 7-day average. Honestly I am half tempted to use 28-day average, but that would take a lot longer, as I've been effectively maintaining for the last month.
It was really helpful to come back and catch up on all the fitness and weight goals you all have been setting and accomplishing. Keep at it!4 -
SW: 94.2kg (207.7lbs)
CW: 78.1kg (172.2lbs)
GW: 68.8kg (151.7lbs)
Which means I'm creeping ever so close to being 2/3rds of the way to my goal, reaching a normal BMI! Only 0.9kg (2lbs) left to that milestone

I'm motivated with these types of reactions I only see in the movies!!!
I was so unbelievably flattered this morning...
I went to pick up my free birthday latte at Starbucks but wasn't ready yet so walked away. Behind me was a handsome tall young man with blue eyes at least 10 years younger than me, when I turned back around to check my order I caught him at a total frozen pause at the doorway threshold holding door open staring at me unabashedly with a huge smile even boldly did the slow once over body scan. I NEVER got that kind of attention when I was obese... I'm so motivated now to stay at my high school weight and keep my girlish figure...7 -
There's two actually:
* Improve every single metric for my "Rockport Walking Test" when I try again May 1
* Dropping 3% body fat by June 15
* Blew the walking test out of the water and am in the top category now ("Excellent"). I now think my "Poor" February results were due to needing to manoeuver through snow and ice.
* More than 1% down but I need to pick it up a bit more on the body fat percentage reduction.10 -
