What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

debradylan1

I'm on my way to developing my calves! Cycling, walking, calf lifts at home.

I am back in the 100s officially again, and this is weighing after eating and drinking! Next mini goal is 4 more lbs down and I’ll be back where I was last fall, although I am more toned now than I was then.

Dropping down into the next "stone" category as from this morning 😁

Well done you! (You inspired me to look and I see that next time I move down a stone I shall be less than 1lb from my goal... So that's pretty exciting.)

Not below the stone, but I weighed 12 stone this morning (168 lbs, 76.3kg)! Once I get into top of the 11-stone range I am so very close to goal which is 75kg (165 lbs).

(3 October) I am hoping to be below 78kg by the end of October.

I have reached and passed this goal: not only did I weigh in at 76.3 kg this morning, my mean weight over the month of October is 77.86kg.

Very happy with this progress!

Also, although I moved to mfp's recommended calories for 0.25 kg per week just over a month ago, I have lost over 1.5 kg this month (looking at the average over the month). Once my average drops below 77kg I will switch to maintenance calories and see what happens. That's likely to be just in time for Christmas... I am hoping that I find that I am still losing on the MFP maintenance calories so that I can eat a bit more, but I realise that it wil lbe trial and error. I really want to get my head round maintenance this time and not spend the next few years refinding all that weight I have lost. (That is what happened last time.)

So: my next mini-goal (which feels pretty mega) is to have my monthly average weight at or below 77 kg which will mean that I am at the top of my maintenance range.

Being smaller than my younger sister😂 she’s a year younger.

Getting into the 250s. Started October at 272; this morning I recorded 260.5

engineermuhib

I want to be 165 pounds and my mini goal is to drop 9 pounds this month. I have lost 12 pounds last month.

sdgengineer

Getting to 270 Pounds (presently 278)

AlexandraFindsHerself1971

245. Cause it's the halfway number, and from there you round down for the nearest hundred. And then on to 240!

smrshealthy

Breaking out of the 160’s and into some of my tighter clothes!

Getting my waist to below 88cm, it is 90.5cm as of this morning so it finally seems within reach. Apparently 88cm is the mark for SUPERBAD for women, so getting below it seems like a good milestone.

Simultaneously I want to get into the healthy BMI which is less than 5 kg away.

charmmeth

Weighed in at 77.1 kg this morning, and have been at 76.9 kg the last couple of days. My maintenance range is 75kg I'm still losing, but my mini goal is +/- 2.5 kg, so I am in my maintenance range. I'm still losing, but my current mini-goal is to keep within my maintenance range all this month whilst moving towards my goal weight. I don't expect to reach my goal weight this month, but I have a good chance of making it in December.

acrylicfox

To get to my first mini-goal of 95kg and remember that change is possible.

JAC581

Started at 247, weighed in at 235.8 this morning. Hoping to get into the 220s by the end of the month!

My mini-goals through the end of the year:

> Go a full week without disordered thinking regarding food (no binging, no guilt)

Would you mind sharing with me how you do this? I have this problem and all the ED joys along with it, there are no ED therapists/counselors where I live.

My mini-mini goal is to drop 1.8 pounds this week. Reaching my 12 pound weight loss for the month. (Dr. approved.)

I like that you're consulting a doctor on this. So many people have unreasonable goals. That used to be me, talking to my doctor made things a little easier.

mrsbfe

I need to be kinder and more patient with myself. I just found this helpful thread, I'd like to focus on mini-goals so I don't beat myself up when I don't reach the "big" goals in my unreasonable expectations.

Fell off track past couple of months and gained some pounds. Dedicating myself to lose those pounds by the end of the year.

Mini goals this week:
3 runs
173.4

I hope all of you are crushing yours!

4 great runs last week
Up a bit this week but that's not unusual.

This week - keep up with run goals - 3 this week.
Stay below 175 for entire week. This was a dream weight not so long ago

Over a yo-yo weight loss and gain over the past six months, I’ve finally recommitted to mfp. I’ve lost two lbs since last Sunday . My mini goal is to lose another 2.5 lbs in November to take me to 11 stone 9. I’ve restarted walking which I find easier than the gym.

cpnknight

My mini goal is to get this body below 300lbs.
Currently sat at 307.6 and am hoping that on the 6th December to weigh in at 299 lbs.
This would be the first time below 300 in over a decade!

Getting the "bouncing" to go under 245. Right now I'm "bouncing around" between 246 and 248. (This is my pattern; I'll bounce for two to three weeks then abruptly slide 2-3 pounds lower and begin bouncing again.)

I have this exact same pattern. Once I understood and made peace with it everything is better! I also bounce back up a couple of pounds from a new low weight for a few days.

This! It drives me nuts, even though I know it's going to happen

Oh I know! It's something I now expect if I hit a new low weight. I was really surprised last week to have two lows on successive days. Back up a bit now though. This is why I have my spreadsheet calculate a monthly - and now also a rolling seven-day - average.

Hope you have got there! Having your waist less than half your height is a great thing to aim for.

Definitely fitting into pants.. I have a ton in my closet and currently only 3 pair of pants fit me and all have elastic. So that is a pretty big goal!! I have a few that zipper but are still too tight to wear comfortably (without fear or ripping) so I am close!

Another mini goal is showing a healthy lifestyle to my kids. That is more than a mini goal but it is something I think about on a smaller, daily level so sharing it!

Breaking 176. Been floating between 176 and 180 for 2 months now and ready for it to start progressing agian.

cdm014

I'm using libra to track the moving average so goal #1 is to get the moving average 10 lbs below first weight

Interesting - I’m 176cm tall so 88cm is literally half my height. I have also read that women have increased health risks above 80cm so that’s on my list but as a blanket statement I guess it might have some wiggle room for those of us who are on the taller side. I feel slightly better about my goal now that it’s half my height 😊

My mini goal at the moment is to hit my initial goal of 170 lbs. Only three lbs away!
