We are going on vacation back to our home state of Indiana either for Spring break in mid-March or June. My mini goal is get out of the overweight category into the normal BMI by that time or obviously as close as I can. I just want to look nice in my vacation pictures.7

Everyone is doing so well, wanting to succeed. Congratulations 🥳
The mini goal that I have embarked on is learning to cook Mediterranean, my roots are European ( lots of pierogies ) The program has many benefits, too many to name here. One meal at a time. I have completed three weeks down 5#. All my meals are Mediterranean 100% now. I have learned that the foundation is vegetables and the topped with meats. Instead of a foundation of meats topped with vegetables. For me it took great courage to turn my eating habits around. My DH has joined in,
about 30%
Today I reached a normal BMI level.
This is not a marathon it is a sprint.11 -
My mini goal is to get back to 118/120 lbs. there are only so many places that yoga pants are appropriate, and my jeans, pants etc are getting a bit too difficult to fit into comfortably lol!
@TxTiffani , what a great idea to do a chart and reward system. I might steal that idea, if that’s ok4 -
Losing the first pound. That's the minniest of mini goals, but I'm starting again and that seems to be the first thing I need to see.6

Hitting the 100 lb weight loss goal was a big one for me. I'm now going to break down my goals into 5 lb increments. I think I have between 10-15 lbs to go but just not sure where I'll finally end up. A 22 BMI seems like a good goal to reach for. That would be 126 lbs. I have not been at that weight since my mid-twentys, like 45 years ago so we'll see.
I'm currently at 139.2 lbs. My next mini-goal is 135. Going to aim for that by Feb 3rd, which is 6 weeks from today.
This morning, Jan 29th, I weighed in at 134.6 reaching my goal a few days early from what I posted above.
My next mini-goal is 130 lbs. Giving myself a couple months to reach that as my weight loss has slowed down quite a bit, which is to be expected this close to goal. I would like to be 130 lbs by April 1, 2023.10 -
'Training' my body to have a big breakfast - big lunch and smaller dinner and if need be, a little something before bed.
Need to get back to supporting digestion and sleep routines...My system is getting pretty sensitive to 'everything' as the years go on.6 -

Getting to 90Kg at some point in March (or sooner). I'm at 95.2 right now.4

I'm working on losing 20 lbs. by spring break, which is March 24th and my birthday. I'm down 11 lbs. so far. I think I'll get my goal early; do I start another goal once I get this one?6

Congrats on achieving your mini goal ahead of time if you make it. Here's how I would do it. If you hit your goal early, wait a week or so to maintain that goal. If it holds then add another mini goal of another few lbs. that would be within a reasonable amount to lose in the time you have left. After you reach March 24th then it's time to set another larger mini goal. Good luck.

For now I want to wear a smaller size than I do now and fit back into my old clothes and in the long run, I want to loose all the excess weight I have gained in the past couple of years.5

Crossed off one mini goal this morning…. First official weigh in in the “100’s” —- 199.5#. The mini goal pre-determined award was a bottle of Veuve Cliquot waiting in the wine cooler, a fillet and a lobster tail. But now I feel like I don’t want to take in all those calories……………..NEXT on the mini goal list is fitting into my largest old designer jeans, just one more inch and I can button them (that will put me back at 2014 size)………AND next will be dropping below 180, like 179.9…which takes me out of the ‘Obese’ category on bmi. I keep catching glimpses in the mirror of a skinny girl and find it shocking. I hope that shock of the unrecognized image continues throughout my continued journey to 125’ish (final goal number undetermined… could be I hit 125 but decide on 130, or could be 125 keep going to 115…it will depend but I will hit 125 first.)9

1. weigh the clothes you will be wearing when going there.
2. dress the way they will weigh you over there and weigh yourself just before going there. Then, see how much you weigh over there, subtract the two numbers and you will now know the (hopefully) standard difference between the two scales so you can compare the two numbers.
3. Don't forget that the absolute number is not all that important. The trend is much more important, so compare the weights over there with each other and compare the weights at home with each other. Do not mix the two.

Mini goal for now is to get fit enough to jog 5km non-stop. Started getting into running for the first time in over 5 years after Christmas, and can now fairly consistently jog 3km before needing to walk 5 minutes and then complete the last 1.5 to 2km at a slow jog.
Hopefully will be able to jog the entire distance by the end of the month.
Happy to say, I hit that goal last Thursday and have since jogged 5km straight two more times. Not fast at all: 36-38 minutes depending on the day, but able to maintain the speed throughout.
New mini goal is to do 3 sessions of bodyweight training per week and run the other 4 days - hope to reach 8km run by end of Feb. Might be ambitious but feels like things have been moving in the right direction thus far.

To start seeing major change in he mirror more than the scale5

When I lose half a pound I will be below 170 pounds. When I lose 1.1 kgs I will have lost 20kgs and be around half way through my journey. I am finding the middle part of the journey difficult so setting lots of mini goals in both kgs and pounds helpful.5

My next goal is to get even the smallest difference in my cholesterol levels at my next appt next week.
This past month I've stuck to a pescatarian diet with no sugar, low carbs, and only whole foods. Fingers crossed it made a difference, even a small one!
ps... always looking to connect with more on their health journey! Feel free to add me.
As for the pescatarian diet, I never set out to be a pescatarian, but when I look at my diet, that is exactly what I am. My diet consists of plant foods, i.e. vegetables, lupini beans and soybeans with the addition of sardines.
You should look at videos from Dr Baker, Dr Westman, Dr Berry, Dr Cywes, etc. Keto is safe and cholesterol isn't the end all be all for lab numbers. There are studies to back it up.5 -

My mini goals are to exercise every day for a month to help establish exercising as a habit, and to get under 180. I'm 14 days in on the exercise goal (using my stationary bike), and am at 187 currently.7

The research is in their show notes. If you don't want to look at them, that is your choice. But there isn't a risk to eating meat, vegetables, and low carb. There's nothing controversial about eating Keto. It's healthy and safe.2 -

This is a fantastic goal! I wanted to let you know this is exactly how I got started! My first day, I could only do 6 minutes.....I ve reached my first long term goal of 30 minutes. I use my eleptical machine 5 days a week. So my first goal was just to move a bit. I consistently added 2 minutes each time until I reached 30 minutes. It took one month. In addition, I added a 30 Day Upper Arm Challenge. The other two days I did aerobics/yoga. Its time for me to switch it up a bit.....right now I do the last 5 minutes faster in tempo.
I have realized that consistency is key! By adding one or two minutes WHEN YOU ARE READY....and some muscle building via a 30 Day Challenge....it only adds an extra 2 minutes....you can get an AMAZING workout. In one month by doing this I am SO much healthier and happier! I am cheering you on all the way!!!9
