What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

My current mini-goal is to reach my high school football playing weight of 255# by Thanksgiving. I first set out to get there by Halloween, but I've been hovering in the 260s for a few weeks. Still working to get on track. Today has been
encouraging.8 -
A mini-goal, but a big one mentally:
Today, for the briefest flickering moment, I saw 69.9kg on my scale, before settling on 70.0kg. I underate yesterday, so I'm sure I'll be up again tomorrow. But before fleetingly seeing a sub 70kg weight on the scale, I didn't realise how important that threshold is to me. Probably more important than my (provisional) end goal of a normal BMI (68kg) and just as important as going from obese to overweight.
So 69.9kg, here I come!10 -
To hit 100 workouts by 12/31/20. I am currently at 62.7

One more pound is 50 pounds lost.16

I am hoping to be under 130 by the end of the month. It’s so exciting cause honestly the 120s is a very happy place for me to be (I feel my best) and this is when I really want to be adding in lifting/strength. The last leg of changing my lifestyle and health and introducing the last piece. Maintenance and recomp.
It’s October 20th. I weighed myself this morning and I was 131.2 lbs. which means I’ve lost 58.8 pounds so far since April 21st. Nearly 60 lbs in 6 months, which is just a mind blowing pace. This past week I had a few days where I ate at maintenance and I haven’t walked(I was exposed to a covid positive person and decided to not needlessly stress my body out in case it needed to fight the illness). Thankfully I found out this afternoon I am covid negative and will be getting right back to exercise(walking) and eating for a loss. Even with my slight hiccup, I should at least get down to 130 by the end of the month, maybe down to 129.___ something. I am super pumped for this goal.
Which is why I am back here getting excited. It will mean a 60+ lb weight loss. Which is just a crazy number. Especially because when I started this I thought it was so out of reach to get down to this weight and shape again. So I just made myself focus on all the mini goals and celebrate each goal I hit.
Now, All these tiny baby steps have really carried me to these last ones. And I am forever grateful that I finally took those first steps back in April. Even though it seemed impossible. Now it’s all so much easier than it was at the beginning. I have habits, knowledge, and my good health. It all just snowballed. Good job past me! You are honestly and truly the real badass that found the courage and strength to get this rolling.

My clothes are starting to fit better. I want to be able to wear some of the t-shirts and dress shirts that I have. Also, I've noticed slow, steady progress without having to change my diet to something that I can't do naturally/long term.6

This was my scale in August. It is the lowest weight I've been at since I was a child. I'm up a bit, but getting back there, and staying there is motivating me right now.

Under 77 kgs at weigh-in this morning! Yay! That was after exercise, but it is also 5lbs to goal.12

Awesome and congrats on getting both.3 -
Weekends have been my STRUGGLE! I am fine during the week, but the weekend always kicks my butt.
I weighed this morning at 250.2 lbs. I want to see the 240's so bad (its been a while since I have seen that number).
My goal: to have a healthy weekend and be in the 240's by Monday.13 -
Just found this thread and excited to use it for some extra accountability! My mini goals for the next month or so:
- Increase my protein intake and eat more than 100g a day (120g ideal but I want to be realistic)
- Be in the 180s by Thanksgiving. I am bouncing around 193 right now so I want to be 4-5 lbs lighter in a month
- Finish my core workout program with the Peloton app. I have a super weak core and it's my least favorite to work, so I'm doing a structured program 5 times a week for 5-10 minutes. I'm on Week 1, Day 4 today

Had a bit of a "whoosh" this morning, dropping me down to 167.5. I'd been wanting to get to 170 by the end of this month because I'd had a bit of a plateau. However now I'd like to see 165 by the end of this month! I don't know if I'll get there though. No matter what, I'll be better off than I was at the beginning of the month, and worlds better than I was a year ago!20

Next mini goal, to get to the lowest weight I got to last time I tried losing weight in early 2019. 7 lbs to go
I made it on October 1st! My next mini goal is to see the 170's! It will be the first time since 2013 when I lost 70 lbs after having my last baby. Even then I only got to 178 before giving up. My goal after that is to get to an overweight BMI instead of Obese. So that puts me at 174. Less than 10 lbs to go!
I made it today! I'm officially overweight instead of obese! I want to get to 160 before I re-evaluate my goals but that seems really far away. I suppose for my next goal I want to get to 165 which is my pre baby weight... 16 years ago! 9 lbs to go!20 -
Having made it to 246, which meant I lost 50 pounds, I am now wanting to get to 240.14

To break the 210s. This morning I was 212.3. My current mini goal is to get to 209. I’ve been plateauing throughout the 210s. This was my weight range for many of my adult years, but it has been since 2012 since I hit it, for just a few days.
My bigger goal is 199 by 12/31.13 -
My goal is to eat just shy of 2000 calories a day, and walk 60 minutes a day.14

I’m 201.4 lbs. I really want to get out of the 200s by the end of the month. I’m eating at maintenance for today and tomorrow because I’ve already lost15 lbs and recently have been really tired and hungry. So I think this should help, then back to a deficit. I lost 30 lbs on here 2 years ago, I think I even posted on this thread. So I’m eager to get back to where I was. But my problem last time was loosing too quickly and then was too hungry so I stopped and gained it all back. Slow and steady for the long haul! But I would like to get out the 200s!10

My mini goal is to eat a light dinner.
Imagine looking better in jeans. Feeling healthier. Aging better. Feel good abought myself at social gatherings. Buying a nice outfit that looks good on me. Getting healthy and embracing the life style.12 -
I am doing the Gourdy's virtual 5K on Halloween. My goal is to finish in under an hour. Not sure if it's even possible, but that's what goals are for, right?
I did a 5K at the beginning of October in 1:04:59. I have a bad back and ankles, and am very overweight, so I mostly walk, with a teeny-tiny amount of jogging. My last timed mile was 19:25, but my second mile when doing three miles tends to be reallly slow, so we'll see.
Eye on the prize: 59:59!!!14 -
I am currently 22st 3 lbs so my mini goal is to lose just over 3 lbs to leave the 22 stone club behind and say hello to the 21s....
Not quite there....22 stone 8 oz....grrr.
Next Sunday is weights and measures day so I will be really happy to have shed just 1 lb to take me into the 21 stone numbers!8 -
I put on 11 lbs of water the last two weeks, dropped my carbs, lost 12 the last two days, so I've lost 3 lbs this month. Currently 389. Would like to be 385 by Thanksgiving.13

I really want my winter coat to be able to easily zip without it being tight. I think I have about two inches to go around my hips. Unfortunately, that’s the last place I lose weight, so I hope to reach this goal before the end of winter at least!9

I work away from home two weeks at a time and don't have access to a scale at work, when I left home I weighed 122kgs, I want to be under 120kgs when I weigh tomorrow morning!11

Those are great goals! I have done lots of reading about the power of protein when it comes to weight loss and how great it is for helping dieters retain lean muscle mass when calorie restricting, and I have the same goal as you: at least 100g of protein each day. I'm vegetarian though and have to supplement my diet with protein powder but still.
The Peloton app sounds really interesting, I am going to look it up...I need to strengthen my core too.
My mini goal is to lose 2 kilos by Christmas...I tell myself, it took me a while to gain weight, it will take me a while to lose it.8
