What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

To be under 200 is my first goal. I'm 3.5 lbs away!

To wear my new prescription glasses at least an hour per day every day. Wore glasses for 15 years as a kid before getting PRK surgery; lived without glasses for 17 years before eye doc said it's time to go back. Partly me not wearing them is a mental thing, getting back used to the idea of wearing glasses; partly it's because they are trifocals with a bit of stigmatism correction, which makes me slightly queasy after a while. I'm sure eventually I'll be used to them again, I just have to ease back in.

My very mini Mini-Goal: To track all of my food and exercise for one week. My big picture goal is to reduce my A1c by reducing my weight. But right now I'm not trying to reach any goals other than tracking. When I track, I naturally make better movement and dietary choices without even thinking about it. But doing something out of habit, like tracking, is very hard for me.

To get my muscle-tone back. Stopped lifting regularly two years ago after surgery and haven't gotten back into it. Poor muscle tone is leading to postural issues, so I've got to get back to it somehow. Trying to add in at least some pilates 5 days a week.

My next vacation is in February. My boyfriend and I are going to NYC. I want to be down another 10 pounds

VeebsKale

I've been consistently increasing weight over time at the gym, and I'm surprised at how strong I'm getting. My mini goal is to do three leg pullups while hanging onto the bar. When I started seven months ago I had zero grip strength and could only hold on for on second. I did two the last time I tried. As for diet I'm trying to consistently stay under 20 g carbs per day to get back into ketosis.

I had breast cancer a few years ago. I am trying to get down to 160 to 165 pounds to make the breast replacement surgery easier for the surgeon. I am already down to 175!

My mini goal is to reach 200 lbs.

I’m about 54 lbs down and I have about 17lbs left to go, so I’m 3/4 of the way there! I expect to reach this goal by late January.

Getting out my box of small clothes that i had vacuum sealed inside of the attic a few months ago. I was under the impression that they would be locked away for quite sometime but due to circumstances they may be available much sooner than anticipated

I have finally hit 159! Down from 183, another 6 lbs to my end of year goal.

spirittrail

My size 10/M clothes are so comfortable to wear now. I can sit, walk for long periods, Squat....basically...do ALL the moves! Most importantly....it's my new normal. My old eating habits are completely foreign and I have had great success with the steady,slower approach. My next "mini goal" is size 8 in the Spring....March. Size 6 in the Summer...July. That's the smallest I have been and that was in 2020. Once I get there again, I may consider a Size 4. 😀

Digideus

Just getting myself into the routine of going to the gym and doing the necessary cardio every day. During the pandemic, it was easier because we were all at home permanently, but with the pressures of work and life, I have had to rearrange my priorities and "find" the time to do it

gigila72

My sister and I just set a goal between November 27 and December 23. Whomever completes the food diary the most often owes the other one $6.67 (a month of premium).

My Mini mini goal is to weigh 318 and not jump back up into the 320s. I hit 319 then inflammation from arthritis caused me to jump to 324. Better than jumping all the way back up to 334 where I was, I guess?

Next goal after that is to consistently work out every day (With the help of my trainer).

This is a bit of a different one, but my mini goal is to be more active when I'm home, like more housework and gardening and spring cleaning.

I realised that I have developed a mentality of "conserving my energy" when home, partly in response to fatigue from prior health issues. I think it's become an unhelpful habit now. I aim to start small and build up.

bennyg1973

To get back to martial arts at 50.

Get below 107kg

I can relate so much to this! I also used to "conserve energy" in everything I did, due to pain and exhaustion. I got an Apple Watch earlier this year. I was given someone else's very old, used watch first so I could try it out, and then I bought myself a new one when the old one finally died. I didn't used to think much of exercise trackers, but this watch has made a world of a difference for me because I can see my progress and most importantly, it gives me a little nudge every hour to get up and move around a little. Which often turns into a few minutes' worth of moving around, or at this point (several months in) sometimes I keep going for an hour or two.

I play little games with myself now, carrying each type of clothing (socks, pants, tops,...) from the laundry to the closet as a separate trip. I put on a fun song and dance around the house while I brush my teeth. Anything to get more move/exercise calories registered on that watchful watch This has really changed my life: I move a lot more, I feel better, I have more fun, and my house is cleaner too. Because, you know, an extra round of vacuuming (or washing the windows) adds extra steps to the day's total I hope you can find your own ways to move more and enjoy life more fully.

I want to see the tens digit be a zero. Started at 335. Now 218. Want to see 209.

JoLightensUp

Thank you, @takinitalloff I might put a tracker on my Christmas list!

Something that has been motivating me is that even though its hard to lose weight and eat good its also hard to be fat. Just choose which hard you want. Unhealthy hard or healthy hard.

Fitgoal90

Current mini-goal is to drop 5 more lbs in the next 3 weeks. There's a Christmas party coming up and I want to turn heads 😉.

SW: 218.4
CW: 201.4
GW: 145.0

emilynevejones12

my overall goal is to reach 60kg through a combination of diet plan and exercise. i would like to be my ideal weight by the beginning of March my mini is to reach 63 kilos by mid January so that i am comfortable for my skiing holiday. My goal this week is to drink 2 litres of water each day. 10k steps and remind myself everyday that I deserve to lose weight and that I love myself enough and i dont need extra snacks to tell myself i love myself!

AwesomeSquirrel

My hiking trousers can almost be buttoned… waiting for that day with bated breath - I believe it’s about 5 kg away if I recall correctly.

stegeem

To lose 1.2kg to be below 105kg

Updating with new goals! I can now grasp the pull up bar and do FOUR leg lifts. My next goal is of course to do five. My goals for December are to do three PSMF - protein sparing modified fasts per week and two days of OMAD - one meal a day with a cap at 1400 calories. The other two days I'll eat up to 2000 calories per day. I hope that by the end of December I've lost four pounds and dropped in my measurements.

psychethelover

My mini goal rn since starting 3 weeks ago is to have lost 5% of my starting weight, which was 348, so 17 lbs. I have 2 more lbs to go!

history_grrrl

Not exactly mini, but I’m on leave from work and want/need, when I return in five weeks, to be able to fit into some of my normal pairs of pants. For the last two years, I’ve been living in bamboo, elastic-waistband pants. They’re very comfortable, but winter is coming and lightweight bamboo ain’t gonna cut it. If I can drop another 5-6 pounds by then, I think this can happen.

mertoe67

To lose 10% of my current weight before the end of Feb. 2024

@VeebsKale - you know Mikki recommends no more than 5 in a fortnight right? Nice to find another PMSF-er on MFP though!
