I’ve had a really long period of stable weight, or just bouncing around the same few kgs. Then earlier this year the stability ended and I’m back up again. Two weeks ago I recommitted to my healthier habits, so my first mini goal is 95kgs. My weekly goal is also two gym sessions and to run home from work twice

Boom! Today at the gym 94.9, so I guess the next goal is 90kgs! Really happy with the progress.

I’ve been doing well too with running twice a week and two gym sessions.

I've kind of stalled out. I've been bouncing around the same pound (difference in .6 of a pound) for the last 3 weigh ins. This week I'm determined to lose at least 1 whole pound. Gonna add at least 1 walk around the warehouse per shift. I'm determined!!

Moving down a notch on my belt. I have been using the same belt and have been punching new holes and trimming off the end as needed. It feels incredible each time I need to punch a new hole!

My first mini goal was 10% of my body weight. I did that, and the next goal was to get my BMI below 40.
A few days ago, I hit that goal, so my next mini goal is to reach the loss of 15% of my body weight. 4 pounds to go!
I have planned out a whole series of little goals over the course of this year. The little victories keep me motivated!

My first "medium" goal is to lose 50 pounds by 7 Sept for a big event. That milestone will also put me at 20% of my body weight lost. 33 down. 17 to go!

Mine is to get under 200. I'm about 10 away now. It's really my first goal since I'm still in the early stages of this journey (started at 217)

Being able to use the belt that comes with dresses! There is no give to these belts and the notches are so far down the belt, it's a tight squeeze!

My mini-goal is to become more regular with my nutrition and exercise.

My mini-goals are to be able to do 5 knee push-ups and for my jeans to not feel tight when buttoned

Got ridiculed when I shared my Day 1 journey into fitness, now I am in a shape better than all those who trolled me. Ain't stopping anytime soon tho, gonna ascend to superb physique, 13% body fat and ample lean muscle.

I want to become 100lbs as my big goal (I'm 5'0" so its healthy), but getting to 110lbs is my smaller goal, only 2.4 pounds to go. I've luckily lost 19.6 pounds since last May

@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.

My mini goal is to hit 5 miles daily until my knee surgery, and to lose .5 lbs for each of the next 2 weeks. I’m on vacation as of this past Tuesday through the 20th, so keeping some semblance of healthy eating is a little more challenging.

I don't know if I mentioned this, but I want to get out of plus sizes, I'm pretty busty and wear a 1X shirt, even after losing 12 pounds. This, not to mention size 18 pants which hasn't budged as well. If I can get down to XL/size 16 I'll be really impressed with myself. I'm hoping that if I can get down to 180 (I'm 188 now) I can get there.

My mini goal is to preplan and record my food for today and to review yesterday.

My current mini goal is to make weight loss less stressful by reducing the amount of time spent cooking. I have been filling my freezer with portioned out leftovers/meal preps at least twice a week + cook enough dinner for my work lunches and kids' school/camp lunches. I was cooking 2-3 times a day on top of counting every macro (already stressful enough). I've been cooking way bigger meals when I do cook, and I meal prep on a weekend day.
Before, I would just order food when I didn't feel like cooking but that would set me back calorie wise (and financially) even if I ordered healthier options. Now we plan a restaurant day 2x a month so I can still enjoy being a part of society and have a day to not do dishes.

My other mini-ish goal is to deadlift 200lbs.

Sorry this was so long...

My mini goal is to make a plan to reintroduce some cooking to my life, and to include my sons so we can all be healthier.

I hate cooking and for years have been satisfied—and lost 65 lbs—without it. Don’t need to order in; enjoyed a lot of fresh or minimally processed foods and ate very clean.

I’ve been struggling for three years bc I missed the seasoning of many ethnic foods and I need to stop ordering in.

My mini-goal is to get my daily sodium down to 1500mg. Harder than I originally thought, lol.

@Neon_hippie There are many adjustments you can make to lower your salt intake, as I'm sure you know. One thing that is not very well known (I think) is salt alternatives: you can read more here (be aware that people with some health conditions should not use lite salt):

@takinitalloff I'm one of the people who get a metallic taste when I have potassium chloride (as with the "natural" sweeteners like Splenda, etc. where I get a very bitter taste). However, I love the thought of playing around with herbs and such because it never occurred to me to try it! I think cutting out salt leaves everything pretty bland--I'll try some of the suggestions they had in the article instead. Thank-you!
