Mini goal: Is to feel good enough about myself to get into a swimsuit this year on our boat. While learning to keep it off also!

My mini goal is sticking to it for the week. For me the first week of change is the hardest. I figure it's a good mini goal to set me up for success on my big goal.

I've been making a monthly goal and for this month, it's to lose between 8 & 10 lbs. I've lost 11 so far (in 7 weeks) and am shooting for 21. Getting there!

This week's mini goal is to walk 10k steps every day, Sunday through Saturday. I hope to continue it beyond this week, but I'll start small first!

No Candy January.

mini goal is to be thinner & healthier for my bus trip to Savanah in the spring. I know buses are usually cramped and this one is full, so will be crowded...no extra room for excess weight in suitcase or seat! LOL

I've joined the "Just Give Me Ten Days" challenge and 10 days, for me, is not as overwhelming as a 4-6 week challenge. I can count down and see the end of the 10-day period (Only 7 more days--I can do this!) and 10 days is not very long at all, so every day counts. I don't feel as if "It's only Week 1. If I let things slide a little I still have X weeks to make up for it."

I'm with KareninLux: No munchies with my husband at night! I don't eat after 7:00 so I have some herb teas that I like and I sip on a warm, fragrant cuppa while he has his snacks!

All good. He is a man, so if he runs on the treadmill for 30 minutes a day and cuts out cookies, fries, chocolate and muffins the pounds fall off even if he snacks at night. I'm a woman. My body doesn't work that way! Nobody ever said life was fair! LOL!

Tonight I will have managed to hit my goals for the first week of Jan: yoga every day and to stick with IF 6h window, and to wash my face every day. Weighing in a few kg lighter today so feeling motivated to manage the second week as my next mini goal. Living one week to the next!

My mini goal for January is to lose 4 lbs and to lose 4 lbs in February. Then I’ll be at the same weight as my lowest weight last year.

My mini goal is to stick to my food choices and I’ve done that so far. Today is my birthday so I’m going to splurge tonight. Hope to get back on track for tomorrow. I’ve lost 3 pounds this week.

my current mini goal is to log food here for 10 out of the next 14 days. Day one was yesterday. From the end of September to the first of December I was able to lose 14 pounds. The holidays hit me hard so I guess my other mini goal is to get back on track. I am trying this method over bariatric surgery right now. Hoping to develop better habits to lose the weight without relying on surgery.

Good plan. Bariatric surgery is a clearly a good method to start losing weight, but it is a method that comes with some very serious consequences, some of which will last until you snuff it. I do not think that the requirement to take vitamin pills for the rest of your life is anything particularly terrible, but other phenomena, such as "dumping syndrome" have a good chance of being rather unpleasant. On top of that, bariatric surgery can not be undone, so even if you regret it, there is nothing that can be done. Also, while bariatric surgery is a lot safer now than it used to be, not all patients survive the procedure.

Sometimes, all you need is finding a method that enables you to reduce your energy intake without extreme discomfort. My personal view is that you should exhaust all potential methods to reduce your energy intake before attempting bariatric surgery unless you are in an emergency type of situation. Don't forget that it is merely a method to help you reduce your energy intake. It will still require discipline and willpower. Quite a few people regain all the weight they lost with the help of bariatric surgery.

When I started, I was a potential candidate for bariatric surgery, but I lost the weight without t, so it is possible, at least for some people.

Moving more has been tough physically and emotionally since mid-December.
(A) my body has turned stiff as a brick and (B) .... I just wasn't feeling it. Retrogrades maybe? Whatever it was, I finally feel my energy and desire coming back.

My mini goal for the remainder of January is just to MOVE MOVE MOVE as much as possible ~ getting 30-60 minutes of deliberate exercise and 8-10,000 steps everyday.

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.

Long term goal is to remember that fitness and weightloss does not happen overnight. Staying consistent from week to week, without stressing over daily fluctuations, will lead to achieving the long term fitness (run half marathon for the first time in my life) and weightloss goals (lose the 8kg I've gained in the last three years and maybe lose a bit more depending on body shape and size)

Immediate: Diet and exercise improvements to improve labs and decrease meds (it's working!)

Short term: Soon I'll be closer to 300 than 400, and will be down over 90 lbs.

Mid term: Break 300 by a cruise in 10 months.

A little under a pound to go and I will be in Onederland! I was really close in October but got really sick and gained 10 pounds. Now I’m back down and close again! More to go after that but reaching Onederland will be a big milestone!
