What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

Last year I lost 40 pounds and gained a heart condition. And still my cardiologist says in that you're not going to do it but I'll say it way that losing some weight would help.

So my goal is to lose 20 pounds by my next visit in March. I'd rather prove him right that it will help, than prove him right that I won't listen.

Getting to 129.8. Once I make it, I'll keep under 130 for one month solid.

Mne is pretty boring... I was over 500 lbs at one point and made the switch to a very strict keto diet. I lost the majority of the weight (I have 100 lbs to lose this year) but gained a cholesterol of 320. So, my goals are completely health based, with weight loss being a very welcome side effect.
My next goal is to get even the smallest difference in my cholesterol levels at my next appt next week.
This past month I've stuck to a pescatarian diet with no sugar, low carbs, and only whole foods. Fingers crossed it made a difference, even a small one!

ps... always looking to connect with more on their health journey! Feel free to add me.

That is a good motivation. Just don't be too discouraged if you don't make it. Losing 20 pounds in about one month and a half is not a very realistic goal, but if your experience is similar to that of many beginning dieters, you might just be able to pull it off. A good place to look is this body weight planner of the NIH:

I signed up to go skydiving for the very first time, in 2 weeks. I don't want to gain more weight beforehand! Also, I have a follow up doctor appointment in a month that I want to see great results from.

Congratulations for what you have accomplished. You probably did, but in case you did not, you should have a thorough conversation with your doctor. What people generally call the "keto diet" is known to cause rises in cholesterol, sometimes to alarming levels.
As for the pescatarian diet, I never set out to be a pescatarian, but when I look at my diet, that is exactly what I am. My diet consists of plant foods, i.e. vegetables, lupini beans and soybeans with the addition of sardines.

Mini goal is exercising more and cutting carbs. I have an A1C test coming up next month and I hope my hard work will pay off. I'm not ready to start medications for diabetes.

I've been working out regularly for just over a month. I decided to check my Exercise Report for the last 30 days. I'm SO Proud of myself. My chart is a page full of dark blue vertical bars ranging in different sizes from short...when I first started...to several impressive tall bars Now I'm motivated to see what my 90 day Exercise Report looks like in two months! I recommend everyone do this...

Mediterranean cooking for health and wellness. Benefit = < 5# in 3 weeks . 5# to my goal.

My mini goal - walk every day. I have seen a vast improvement in mood and overall wellness. Which reminds me, I need to go for my walk today!

We are going on vacation back to our home state of Indiana either for Spring break in mid-March or June. My mini goal is get out of the overweight category into the normal BMI by that time or obviously as close as I can. I just want to look nice in my vacation pictures.

Everyone is doing so well, wanting to succeed. Congratulations 🥳
The mini goal that I have embarked on is learning to cook Mediterranean, my roots are European ( lots of pierogies ) The program has many benefits, too many to name here. One meal at a time. I have completed three weeks down 5#. All my meals are Mediterranean 100% now. I have learned that the foundation is vegetables and the topped with meats. Instead of a foundation of meats topped with vegetables. For me it took great courage to turn my eating habits around. My DH has joined in,
about 30%
Today I reached a normal BMI level.
This is not a marathon it is a sprint.

My mini goal is to get back to 118/120 lbs. there are only so many places that yoga pants are appropriate, and my jeans, pants etc are getting a bit too difficult to fit into comfortably lol!

@TxTiffani , what a great idea to do a chart and reward system. I might steal that idea, if that’s ok

Losing the first pound. That's the minniest of mini goals, but I'm starting again and that seems to be the first thing I need to see.

Hitting the 100 lb weight loss goal was a big one for me. I'm now going to break down my goals into 5 lb increments. I think I have between 10-15 lbs to go but just not sure where I'll finally end up. A 22 BMI seems like a good goal to reach for. That would be 126 lbs. I have not been at that weight since my mid-twentys, like 45 years ago so we'll see.

I'm currently at 139.2 lbs. My next mini-goal is 135. Going to aim for that by Feb 3rd, which is 6 weeks from today.

This morning, Jan 29th, I weighed in at 134.6 reaching my goal a few days early from what I posted above.

My next mini-goal is 130 lbs. Giving myself a couple months to reach that as my weight loss has slowed down quite a bit, which is to be expected this close to goal. I would like to be 130 lbs by April 1, 2023.

'Training' my body to have a big breakfast - big lunch and smaller dinner and if need be, a little something before bed.
Need to get back to supporting digestion and sleep routines...My system is getting pretty sensitive to 'everything' as the years go on.

Lose 5 more pounds by Valentine’s Day and 55 pounds by the end of 2023!
