What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

Onedaywriter

Thanks for this post!! I realized that I didn’t have a mini-goal so I was losing interest and backsliding!!

So this is it! My brand new minor-goal. To be under 195 at the end of April. I’m about 202 today so this is doable!!

Not catching and dying from covid virus (I live in an affected county).

So. Healthy nutrition.

Be under 200 by end of April. That would make me pretty dang happy. I'm sitting at 205-206 right now, so as long as I stay on the path, it's definitely doable.

Working on getting to 30 lbs total lost - I'm two and a half pounds away. I may make it sometime next week, maybe not, but that's my next mini goal.

Getting back under 300lbs is my immediate goal. About a year ago I was 348lbs and am now 321.8lbs today. Working away at it and hoping to get there soon.

... My next mini-goal is actually a rather major goal... I'm 2# away from maintenance! So I really need to pay attention to my exercise calorie estimates and figure out which ones are close and which ones are not-so-close...

I'm also due for another iron test in about 30 days, and if it comes out in my favor, I can go off iron supplementation!

If I'm entirely honest, going off of iron supplementation will feel more like winning than anything. Those iron tablets are so hard to time and some days they're kinda hard on my stomach. :P

@ElizabethKalmbach That is awesome! Being so close is a challenge all on its own because you do have to finally figure out how many calories you really need to maintain vs losing where you can have a range that all falls in a calorie deficit. I hope all goes well with the iron test, too!

I made myself a deal that each ten pound loss I’d schedule myself an order from StitchFix. Keeps me motivated and updates my wardrobe a bit at the same time. Seven pounds until the next one!!

@jeagogo It has been both interesting and challenging for most of this last venture into weight loss. I had been maintaining pretty steadily for about 6 years before this problem with my iron last summer. Since then, a lot of my daily habits have changed and my activity level has skyrocketted, so keeping to a steady loss rate of .5#/week has involved persistently updating my TDEE every few weeks. I started out at a shockingly low 1470 calories per day, and now I'm eating 2300 per day and still losing steadily.

When people tell you that puppies are a lot of work, they aren't lying. I went from having a 13 year old dog with hip problems to having a puppy who needs to go for a couple miles every morning and every night to keep him out of trouble, and I may have to come up with a different eating pattern just so I can get in enough calories during maintenance to keep up with him! Good thing he's cute!

Over April I want to get the house as packed up as it can be while we're living in it, so that we can, at the end of the month, find a new house, and sell our current one. My weight loss goal of go down eight pounds still applies, but given that I'll be doing a lot more physical work (I am doing ALL the packing, and we are living in a two-story house currently) I am going to let myself not worry so much about the gym. Some of these boxes are heavy.

I found a pair of jeans on the sale rack for $1.00 . A DOLLAR. How could I say no? Ten pounds and I'll own them!

Mine is exercise-related: I absolutely HATE exercise, and I lost 30 pounds since the first of September with just changes to my eating habits. I'm going to aim to walk one mile every morning before work. Now that winter has backed off a bit, it should be do-able even for me.

to get to 269. Closest I got was when I was full steam ahead about 1.5 years ago when i got to 270.6. I'm 287 right now... back on track and hoping to be there in two months.

2 currently. First, I just became able to jog again and want to increase from 20 minute nonstop jog (4.5-5 mph) to 30 minutes. And second, I want to get under 300 lbs. Stuck in the 304-307 range for a week now lol

I'm running a 10K in a little over 2 weeks.

not gain weight during my vacation to Hawaii. I am waiting at least one night after I get back before weighing myself due to the long flight

I want to drop at least five more pounds before the annual ID photos at work are taken. I can't even look at last year's; I was 35 pounds heavier and my face was a big circle on top of not-much-neck.

Me, too! Except I am waiting till I lose another 30-40 pounds. I make the badges where I work, so I'll get to take my new picture when I'm ready.

I have met my micro-mini goal of of "recovering" from the four course Annual Italian Association dinner (three pound wight gain overnight due to not-yet-processed bulk in the digestive system)

I have reversed that blip - and am now within two pounds of getting back to the BOTTOM of my chosen maintenance range (drifted just out the upper end over the winter)

Once there - I gotta work Transition all over again, and on the daily habits that will KEEP me there.
