What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

Tomorrow I leave for a week long holiday, where I plan to eat, enjoy food, rest, play with my daughter, and wear bikinis. Fill up of positive thinking. Then start again my journey after two years of pause.
So my mini-goal is to weight and measure myself, take photos of the before, and then just log everything for a week, without any pressure to cut calories or diet. That's it, that's manageable... I will post again in two weeks from now!
I find that preparation time is sometimes a need.... time to just wrap your brain around the journey that you are about to embark on. That time is like packing before leaving on a trip. Leaving without packing might be doable but the trip would likely be a whole lot harder. Enjoy your trip in both senses!
Thank you for expressing what I was feeling! This is it, I'm right now mentally preparing myself for the journey, packing happiness and positive thoughts that I could use later on. But I need to start slowly, I'm one of those people that throws everything away if I don't meet my goal, so my goals have to be manageable. So first goal is just to set everything up. If I reach it I can move on with more confidence...8 -

This is so true. I was trying to figure out why this sounded so familiar, and then it hit me- the Stages of Change model. This stage is literally called Preparation. I went from Contemplation to Preparation when I overdid it on Christmas Eve last year and spent six hours being violently ill. That’s when I decided to make the change on Jan 1, and I spent the whole week in between just planning out my strategy.4 -

Gonna get my first tattoo at 250lbs, which will be down 50lbs. When I reach goal weight of 180, I'll be going to Vegas for EVO 2023, and when I maintain goal weight for a year, I'll be getting a full back tattoo.8

To not become diabetic. My numbers are border line right now. So need to lose the weight and learn to maintain a healthy diet. Anything beyond that would be amazing!10

Reaching my lowest post-bariatric weight of 174 pounds (I had a small regain from 2020-2022 and I'm now in the upper 190s). Then after that small goal, I would like to get below 154lbs, which was the lowest I have weighed my entire adult life (I'm 5'5" for reference lol). I am also trying to focus on other signs of toning and weight loss that don't necessarily show up on the scale, such as pants fitting better, smaller shirt size, sleeping better, etc.9

Ok. The “event” was my daughters engagement! And I lost the 5 pounds. I even lost another pound that weekend ( too much going on to eat much….which is unheard of for me). Now 6 lbs more in the next year or so before the ( no exact date yet) wedding. To get to my high school weight. It may be a bit unrealistic but I’m ok if I don’t achieve it.

My mini goal right now is to get into the 200's. I'm so close I can taste it. Only .6 of a pound to go. It was an end of Sept. goal to be in the 200's. Happened faster than I figured. I'm so stoked. Was at 328 mid May....to hit 299 would make my month!! Keeps me steady and strong.
TAKING OFF A SWEATY SPORTS BRA SHOULD BE COUNT AS RESISTANCE TRAINING

Intake goal met!
Updated goals:
Weight: 250 lbs
Fitness: 10,000 steps/day 3x/week (on-days) with 5,000 steps/day 4x/week (off-days)
Intake: 14 days within 100 kcal +/- target
I've met all three mini goals.
Updated goals:
Weight: <250 lbs trending average
Fitness: 10k steps 3x/week, 6k steps 3x/week, 5k rest day; with strength training 3x
Intake: 21 days within goal range (now tightening goal range to 50 kcal +/- target)
Well, it's been an interesting near-month since I last posted. Went through a period where I was clinging to the wagon by my fingernails, so to speak, so revamped and rolled back the fitness and intake goals.
I met the weight goal about 2 weeks ago.
Here's my updated mini-goals:
Weight: trending average below 247.2. This is the 10% to healthy BMI marker.
Fitness: complete a week consisting of: 10k steps 3x, 5.5k steps 3x, and one 5k steps "rest day" with 3x strength training
Intake: one week within 50 kcals +/- target kcals
Met the weight one sometime around a week ago I think. Also met the fitness one.
Updated mini-goals:
Weight: trending average below 245
Fitness: one week's step goals of: 10k 3x, 6.5k 3x, 5k 1x, with 3x strength training
Intake: one week within 50 kcal +/- target4 -
