What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

Have another 49lbs to lose, want to shift that at 1 or 2 lbs a week. Some weeks I lose 3lbs and one week after several weeks of struggling with my weight going up and down I managed to lose 7lbs in one week. I have managed to turn my struggling around and I'm not putting weight on anymore which I'm pleased and proud about!

trying to get under 460. keep getting down to 461 but just cant get under it. Have been as big as 515 but am usually around 480. Have been staying in the 460's but just dont have the will power to do better I guess. Have logged in now for 32 days which is a record for me. Biggest goal is to be able to stand up when I play guitar in a band. I sit down the entire show and although the band knew that when I joined, i would love to be able to stand up and play. My picture shows me standing but that is an old picture.

I've struggled with my weight most of my adult life. I'm a lifetime Weight Watcher member, but that isn't enough by itself to keep the weight off. I recently read a book called "The Willpower Instinct." In it, the author talks about taking a "negative" and finding a way to turn it into a "positive." You know that feeling in the pit of your stomach that "tells" you you're hungry? In the past, whenever I had that feeling, I would HAVE to eat, and usually I would choose something unhealthy. Now, I imagine an army of "PacMan" ghosts, eating all my fat, and that "feeling" of hunger is the signal they are fast at work. I welcome them now, and wait until my scheduled time to eat. I lost over 35 pounds using that imaginary tool. Now, I've gained some of it back during Covid, so I turned to MyFitnessPal. Now, when I am accountable to write everything down, in an EASY way, the weight is melting off again. THANK YOU FITNESSPAL for creating such a wonderful program. It has truly made a difference.

I'm really looking forward to breaking the being sub 400 pounds. Maybe by my birthday May 24 weekend... Maybe not, but it's happening!

That's my birthday weekend too! (May 23rd) My mini goal is to hit 205 by then. May be a bit ambitious but I'm giving it my best!

My mini goal is to lose 20 pounds by mid June when I go on vacation.I have recently shifted my mindset so I am confident that I can achieve this.

4Lbs to go, until I am 137lbs. which is the lowest accurate weight. I remember being four years ago.
Btw, I am 27lbs down now : D.

I ordered a smaller sized belt for my uniform... I'm working hard to be able to toss out the older (worn out looking) one and using the fresh one!

This is probably not everyone's idea of what motivation should be, but for me it's all about being realistic and working out what works for you.

I've accepted the fact that Friday night takeaway is a treat that I could never give up entirely, as we've done it for so long now and see it as the start of our weekend.

I decide that my takeaway is a treat, and I have to earn treats, so I have to beat my targets before I can have my treat. I have to be under my weight target and over my exercise target before I can order


Sounds really simple, but I can honestly say that my weekly takeaway has become more of a fortnightly treat recently, but it's looking good for tonight as

Weight loss - done
Exercise - done

So my task for today is to work out which takeaway is the healthiest as I'll have to work it off if I want another one next week!

Getting out of the 150s!! I started at 194 lbs. on, 9/1/20; and, I am currently sitting at 152.8!! Not too impatient, but I'm looking forward to seeing 140 something!!😊😊

I posted this on 3/30. I'm now even closer. My goal is still the same. I think I will see 140 something soon. I'm good with that😊😊.

This sounds lame I know especially for my age, but I yo-yo diet on pretty much an annual cycle and my high weight always hits around summer... I really want to stop this cycle of bad behavior.

Right now my short term goal is to lose about 15+ pounds by June so I can feel comfortable in my own skin and enjoy being out more! Have more energy and stamina, wear a bathing suit, shorts without feeling like my thighs and butt are spilling out everywhere...

I'm a 5'9" Female and did get down to 131 last year but I ended up binging for weeks so I figure maybe I can stay at 140 a bit easier. Increase my walking speed/length.

Goodness: I'm 5'11", also female and I am aiming to maintain at around 165 lbs, which is a healthy weight for me. These are your goals, and I wish you luck whatever goal you set for yourself,, but I am wondering why you feel the need to take your weight so low?

I’ve got two:
I’ve got 5 runs left of couch to 5k and two weeks left till the gym reopens. So I want to finish couch to 5k with the aim of running home twice a week from work.
I’ve had a couple of kgs sneak back in so I want to lose 4kgs for a firm start to the next chunk of weight loss

So I’ve finished up the couch to 5k (4.9km yesterday morning) and am just about to order some new shoes in preparation for starting the couch to 10K this week

Weighed in this morning and I’ve lost 1.5kgs (700grams a week) on track to knock out those 4 that I regained 😊

This may not be particularly low once you account for frame size. I am a healthy BMI per charts at 149.9 (I'm 5'5" female) and am currently 152 (down from 190). I wear a size 4 ring on my ring finger - a 5 will fit over my thumb, and I can get a 6" bracelet over my hand without unclasping it (and lose them frequently) - an 8" one fits comfortably with room around my ANKLE. I don't have hips or a butt, but do have big breasts. My actual ideal is likely 120-125, (in the absence of building more muscle). Will I ever see that, much less maintain it? Don't know, currently do not care at all, but it's where I should probably be for optimal health/not having an actually too high body fat percentage - there's just not a lot of bone to account for extra 'lean' mass/weight.

By which I mean the upper end of BMI on me is still absolutely overweight for me. I mean I'm gonna stop and maintain at about 145 because I am tired, but the lower end of the BMI chart is there for a reason; it's where some people fit and is still healthy.

I love this, packman eating the fat. When I get hungry at night I say Burn Baby Burn and I know I am losing weight, reminded me of that!

My mini goal? I was planning on getting to Goal Weight of 135 by my B-day (end of April).
That's okay - I plan on at least dropping 5 lbs by May 1st. In a Healthy manner, not starving myself.

Bright Line Eating has proven to be the most healthiest way to do this - while my Body adjusts. And for my age, someone recently called
me tiny! HAHAHA I am 5'6" and weigh at 154. I've lost 15 lbs since January.

My Goal is to be @ 135 by June I also walk every day, rain or shine. Since the Gyms are closed in my area - I lift small weights.

Still to be 70 years old (and gorgeous).. I think I'm doing pretty Stellar. Someone thought I was 'maybe 50'.... I have to admit,
being slender sure makes you Feel SO much Better.

Drop the SUGAR and the Flour / Processed foods!!! Eating Healthy Works! LIFE IS GOOD

if YOU ARE STRUGGLING - Try the BRIGHT LINE EATING 14 day challenge! I used only the Challenge for instruction, and guidance. She offers videos and lessons to help you RELEARN how to eat.

Bright Line Eating has been rated the BEST weight loss program in the World - IT is international too.

I have learned so much about Food Addiction / Sugar / flour - and how it affects your Brain and Your Appetite...Scientifically.!

There is a Boot Camp Program - BUT - I only did the 14 day to learn. IT has made all the difference in the World
Bright Line Eating IS better than programs such as WW, and J Craig, and Nutrisystem. (I've done them all)

YOU LEARN what works!

And all those other programs keep you Hooked on the Foods that make you Gain Weight

I am NOT Getting paid

That I completed my goal this week of bringing weight lifting into my workouts and did it 3 times this week like I planned. Now the real challenge is to keep that 3 times a week goal that I am setting for myself here and now. Basically in telling someone, ie all of you, I force myself to be accountable.

My mini goal is to be at my goal weight by the end of May, to coincide with my anniversary May 30. I'm at 129 now, so that's 9 pounds.
