It is always so good to look at the little things! They can add up to something big! My mini goals are...

1. To fit into my sexy heels again (who knew feet could get chubby?????)
2. To actually want to go out w/ friends again and not feel like a *larger* shadow of my former self.
3. To lose the firs 20 lbs and actually see that I CAN do this!
4. To feel my pants loosening up... that will be the best day ever!
5. To get myself back into the healthy BMI range rather than the overweight range (only 15 lbs to go for that!)

Best of luck to all!

Awesome topic!

1. I want to fit in all my size 8 jeans from college. Even at 120lbs I was still in a size 8 b/c of my curves:-)
2. I want to throw on a shirt and not worry about whether or not it shows the little bit of belly I have left.
3. I want to have muscle definition in my arms and thighs. I've never had that my entire life.
4. I want to wear a bikini next summer!
5. I want to exercise 5 days a week and maybe one day join a gym (too self-conscious right now!)
6. I want to run a mile...I had to give up on C25K b/c of bad knee pains but one day, when I've lost more weight, I want to try again.

What a great thread! Of course I have bigger goals, but my immediate small goals are...

1.) I want to do Downward Facing Dog in Yoga without bending my knees.
2.) I want to add weigh-lifting to my cardio workout.
3.) I want to find a go-to snack/meal other than cereal.
4.) I want to have more active fun with my kids (running, skipping, swimming, swinging).

Never ever think of your goals as petty! Changing your outward appearance starts by changing the way you think of yourself. It took me a long time to learn it, and sometimes I have to re learn it

My little goals ....Just one for now.... its kind of huge deal to me, I'm in that navy, and they require you to weigh a certain number or below, if you're above it you have to get measured and your body fat has to be below 33%. I have had to be measured since I became a mommy 5 years ago. My goal is to be 155 by October so I dont' have to get measured

I have a few mini goals, some of them are sad to admit out loud...

1. Get rid of or at least reduce the size of my love handles!!!
2. Be proud of myself for what I already have accomplished! (this is the hardest one for me)
3. Fit into my size 10 jeans (I know that's not small by any means, but I am so close, I just feel like they don't fit right just yet)
4. Finish Chalean Extreme on schedule (done by mid-oct) and start Turbo Fire afterwards
5. By my birthday (Nov 25) even if I don't get my goal weight, know that I am so much healthier than I ever have been and I should be happy with me, but hopefully I'm closer to my goal than I am as of now.

Mine probably seem so silly.. but a few of them are:
1. feel proud of myself for the accomplishment of what I have done so far...
2. be more active
3. get my hubby and kids out from in front of the tv
4. finish a whole work out video not just do it for a couple of weeks
5. when I return to the gym in Sept. weigh 205. (20 lbs.)

2daughtermom

Wow, where to start!!!

1. To be under 200 pounds for the first time in over 28 years (13 pounds to go).
2. To exercise with Fit/tv for an hour instead of having to stopping at 30 minutes.
3. To feel fabulous in my own skin.
4. To not have my brother tell me I "stomp" when I walk across the room.
5. To get off my HBP and diabetes medication.
6. I'm too old for a bikini, but I would like to wear a one piece and it not have the extra firmness in the middle that holds my
stomach in.

There are plenty more, but that's enough.

I love this post!

Here are mine (not really small but they are important to me):
1. I want to be able to walk into normal sized clothing stores and find my size.
2. I want to run a 5k and maybe even a 10k.
3. I want to be able to play a whole rugby game and still be jogging at the end of the game. (I couldn't even do that in college.)
4. I REALLY want to weigh less than my BF.

My small/short term goals:

1. Eat more fruits & veggies each day
2. Lose 8-10 lbs by the end of July
3. Hit the gym 5 days a week, every week
4. Be kind to myself
5. Bring my lunch & snacks for the day to work every day (eating out is dangerous calorie zone!)

I've seen some great goals in this thread. Here are mind:

-I want to be happy with the way I look and feel, regardless of the number on the scale.
-I want to be confident in my own skin, regardless of the number on the scale.
-I want to be able to wear clothes that aren't found in plus-sized stores.
-I want to totally cut out my addiction to coke (the drink, not the drug - and I've only had it once since Friday)

I love this thread too! Have to steal the first one from hkystar:
1) Weigh less than my husband. He is a skinny little thing (6', 140#) though, so that's a ways away.
2) Wear this beautiful Lole skirt (sz 8) that I bought last year and have never worn. I have several cute items of clothing that I would be delighted to see again, actually. Or even toss--I really want to pare down my wardrobe but I feel like I can't judge any of my clothes fairly when I am not the right size to wear them in the first place, so I feel like I have to lose weight to see if the garments are cute or not.
3) When my time is tight (ALWAYS), not have exercise be the first thing cut from my schedule.
4) Not feel like I need a treat every afternoon and evening.
5) Would love to shed enough weight for it to make a difference in my marathon time and performance this October. I have run 3 weighing 149-156, and I think it'd be a lot easier carrying less weight.

My most recent cockamamie scheme, after watching Losing it with Jillian, is to look amazing when I see my sister at Thanksgiving. She's my favorite person, and we're both always trying to lose weight. I marvel at how people on the show are able to stick with their programs and lose ridiculous amounts of weight b/c they know Jillian is coming back to see if they did it. Would love for both our jaws to drop when we see each other because we look so good, so we're trying to keep each other on the straight and narrow for the Thanksgiving reveal.
