My mini goal (sadly) is to get down to 190 before my mother's memorial on the 26th of October. I need to lose a lot more, but this would be making her so happy! I was 208 at the end of August, I am now down to 196.17

Getting below 200 again! Im down 30 lbs and was stuck at 208. Just broke through that and am hopefully heading break 200 by the new year. (My weight loss is VERY slow)9

Only 8.5 lbs to go now but have to survive my daughter’s birthday weekend.... my goal is not to put on any weight this weekend and to go for a long walk to offset some of the eating...!

My mini goal is to get under 144. This morning I weighed in at 146. This time last year I was doing so well on my journey and got down to 144 which was my smallest in years, so I am hoping to pass this and continue forwards.6

Getting to healthy BMI. 10 more pounds to go!9

I've got a doctor appointment on the 22nd of November so I'm completely focused on toeing the line to see if I have any improvements in my blood work. I'm not weighing, I'm just getting my 10,000 steps in everyday and staying in my calorie goal with healthy food and waiting to see the results. 🤞9

The next 5 pounds which will put me in the 180s. And I would like to be one size down comfortably not squished by Christmas.
I'm pretty disappointed with myself right now. On Friday it will be one year of going to the gym. HIIT Class, Zumba, Spin and the machines when I don't have classes.
I averaged 3x a week.
Granted one month it was 3 times because of life, another month it was everyday.
I've lost 11 pounds and then that 5 pounds keeps going up and down.
It's been a rollercoaster year. My daughter graduated from college. Two out of state weddings. My sister-in-law and my niece. Taking care of my 89 year old father in law for 3 months and then back to my sister-in-law's out of state when he was in the hospital. Driving him back home. Then hospice at my brother-in-law's an hour away. He passed away 09-09-2019.
And my son is getting married in January.
Hubby has not been 100% either and may be going in for sinus surgery soon. Oh and I commute and work full time.
Maybe it's the stress that refuses to let it go. Pardon the pun.
I had hoped to be thin and strong for the wedding. There are still 3 months.
The one thing the gym did do for me this past year was keep me same. The gym and my garden.
My instructor says she can tell a big difference in my strength. I can do the assisted pull up machine and a not so pretty burpee now. Lol
Now that we are getting back to "normal " my baby step goal is to see that scale move down the next 5 pounds.13 -

Most of mine tend to be scale orientated, so I guess the next stone mark - 5.5 pounds away.
I'd also like to start doing 'land' classes at the gym instead of just aqua ones.
There you go, two mini goals
Hit my scale goal and signed up for my local Parkrun. 5k each Sunday morning. I'll be walking it at first but I'm going to do this!
Next mini scale goal is 10.9 pounds to lose.
And to survive my first Parkrun *grins*7 -

Mini goal achieved! And it does make me feel less annoyed, as hoped
Next mini goal: get approved for surgery so I can stop being in constant pain. I see the doctor in about 4 weeks, and until then I'm going to be an ultra healthy eating machine to minimize any possible obstacle. Micro- and macronutrient levels will be spot on each & every day while I shave off a few more pounds 👍

Awww, I hope you can see past your disappointment to the accomplishment this actually is. Maybe your average times per week isn't where you wanted it, and maybe overall you're not where you wanted to be, but you have kept going to the gym for a whole YEAR, and you have improved in that year!!! You deserve to be proud of yourself.carlaringuette wrote: »I'm pretty disappointed with myself right now. On Friday it will be one year of going to the gym.

I can now do 5 sets of 5 big girl push ups at a time!! I do them after my 5x5 Stronglift workouts
Still working on the pull up but I have a feeling it will be a while until I get there. 6 more pounds and I'm under 180.
Under 180 - Check!!! 120lbs down and under 180 - can hardly believe it!!! Continuing to work on the pull up with bands assisting. Next mini-goal: Under 167lbs and into the healthy BMI range!!

Next 3 weeks - (4 seems too long and 2 is not enough) - so 3 weeks:
a) Stick to Calorie goals
b) More Water
c) Exercise Goals (that’s easy)
d) Don’t step on scales, but measure in the am
For some reason watching the scales trips me up - more emotional response.
If wt is down - 🥳 🎉🥂 - I’m not as careful with my food choices
If wt is up - 😨😡🍫🍷🧀🍟🍕🍕🍕 - What the heck, throw in the towel.
Measuring doesn’t show water weight and does better reflect muscle gain and fat loss.
I’ll weigh at beginning of week 4.
Can I copy these goals? They seem reasonable enough for me to start somewhere... just need to modify c. (I need to start exercising)2 -
I want to lose a total of 20lbs by the end of this week. I'm at 19.2 right now.6

To not be beaten by the 11 year old who flipped me off at my first park run. I don't think it is likely for a few months as he was pretty quick.16
