What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

I’m 104.4 kg and I have been 103.5-105 kg for 1,5 years. I can’t wait to see 102 kg and less.

Have been stuck between 158-161 for MONTHS and months, looking forward to getting to 155 and then getting below that.

I have two right now.

1. I want to be at about 62 lbs lost (I've lost 57 lbs so far). My son (who is 8) weighs about that much. He'll think it's amazing that I've lost as much as he weighs and it's a great visual for me.
2. I had set mini goals of 10% weight loss (instead of focusing on the big number). I'm currently working on my 3rd 10% goal. I have about 8 lbs to go for that one

please share tips for it.

My first mini goal is to drink 2 litres of water a day.
My second mini goal is to hit 5,000 steps a day ( very sedentary office job).
My third mini goal is to lose the next 9 lbs.

So since this is just mini-goals I have 2 I'm working on right now:
1. Go to the gym 5-6x a week. (Following half-marathon running plan)
2. Eat better.

So far so good. Fell off after 6mo or so of solid weight loss, so hoping it won't be too hard to get back into it.

@jennydowd I was inspired by your approach! I've been on my journey since November 2022 and I have chosen to lose the weight at a slower pace. I have already lost 10% and when I did the math...I am only 1.5 pounds away from 20%. (I may have already reached it but I only weigh myself about twice a month on the very accurate Community Centre scale. It keeps me from obsessing over the scale.)

I was "stuck" on a final weight to settle on. So I reduced the 20% loss by another 10%.....and found my number! It's perfect....thank you! An additional 10% (beyond that) would be far too small for me. Also....my final number is less than 20 pounds away....and I have already lost 34 pounds. Achievable!!

Best of luck on your journey!! Don't worry so much about the time frame....it's the consistency and keeping it off that's important.

It feels like forever since I have posted! It's only been two weeks. Today I walked to the Community Centre. I reached my goal! I've lost TWO POUNDS. I HAVE OFFICIALLY LOST 20% OF MY WEIGHT SINCE LATE NOVEMBER 2022.

I HAVE LOST 36 POUNDS.....18 X 2. THATS THE SAME AS A COUNTER TOP MICROWAVE 😩

The 150's are now forever behind me. I am now just 5 pounds away from reaching "Normal weight"..I have successfully made it thru Obesity.....Overweight......and soon.....Marginally Overweight will also no longer apply. My goal is August 11th for an event. 😁

I've been off again on again for losing weight for years, the only other time I had a good start in losing was when I 1st jointed here in 2018, I lost 30#, then hit pause, then started gaining.

March 2024, my gallstones went on a mission to attack anytime I ate something high in fat.

Though I wouldn't recommend it, it is quite easy to lose weight when you have to be careful what you eat or suffer horrible stomach / back pain.
I have lost 47 pounds in 3 months, ( yes I know that is high ), but I wasn't trying to lose that much that quickly, I stopped eating snacks, no chocolate, no peanut butter, ( OMG that was hard ).
It's now been so long, I don't crave chocolate or peanut butter. My gall bladder is out, but I'm in no hurry to eat what I couldn't.

So when I 1st started I made up goals, lose 10% of weight, get down 220#, out of morbidly obese, into obese, get to 200# ( 199 actually...) 180# my goal weight!!!
I have passed the 1st two goals!!! My next mini goal is getting to 200/199#.
I have that firmly in my sights, I haven't been this low in probably 20 years.
I'm not doing anything extra, just what I've been doing for the past 3 months. I know I'm going to plateau here at some point, but I hope with me increasing my workouts regularly, it won't be a long plateau... fingers crossed.

My latest ambition: Do a really big caving trip, with at least 12 hours of hard caving. My longest so far has just only been 9 hours.

My mini goal is to reach the 80-89kg bracket by the end of the month. I've been tracking for around 2 months and have lost about 7kg so far - I'd love to get back into the 80kgs to start with, as that seemed so unachievable to me not so long ago! 😲

My other "mini" goal is my friend's wedding at the end of September, as I'll be one of her bridesmaids and have yet to get a dress. 🙈 I'd love to have hit the low-80s/high 70kgs by then, but don't want to put too much pressure on myself.

This struck a chord with me because when I started last summer (just over a year ago now) I was at 270.9 lbs (123 kg) and I thought it was unachievable for me to get below 260 lbs, let alone below 200 lbs (91 kg).

Well I’m at 186 lbs now (84.5 kg) and still going. It’s so funny to me that I ever thought that way 🤪 The mind plays strange tricks on us.

Once you set your sights on a (medically reasonable) goal you’re unstoppable. I’m sure you’ll be firmly back into the 80’s very soon! And congrats on your progress so far 👏😁

Increase Vo2 Max. My training status says I'm at the bottom 15% for my age group. My fitness age is 75. I mean sure celebrate the victories, last month it said my fitness age is 78 so hey I'm making progress!

To get to the 140's, currently 151.6lbs. It's taken longer to get here than anticipated but that's OK I'm getting there.

Trying to get into the 80 kgs. Those last few 90's are hanging on.
