In the weekly Warrior Mini-Goal Challenge focus on your short term goals.

Focusing on one week at a time, when the big picture seems too overwhelming. Small changes can bring on big results!!

Choose one or more things you want to work on for just this week. Don't set it too high or unreachable!!

Please, make sure your week works for you. Sun to Sat or Mon to Sun, whatever is YOUR week!

You can reach your main goal if you break it into small actionable steps. It could be as easy as 1-2-3!

1) Choose something you know you can do easily.
2) Add more difficult tasks to your plan.
3) These small steps will get you started, motivated & help build routine for long term success!!

Anyone interested in joining us for another week, or a first week, or a get back on track week?

Check in often, have a great week and do the best you can! :)

    Hi, I am new as well and would like to join in. A little about me... I'm 35 and have been consistently over 200 lbs for the last 12 years. I was able to get below 200 a few times during that period, but was never able to maintain it. Now, I am really focusing on getting myself healthy and getting below 200 lbs with the intent of keeping the weight off. I started the year around 229 lbs and am currently 204 lbs. My ultimate goal for this year is to be in the 170-180 range.

    1. Do at least 4 walks (totaling at least 10 miles)
    2. Log into MFP everyday - I currently have a 30 day streak (my longest!)
    3. Eat breakfast before work (instead of at work)

    Great goals! I also find that eating at home is better for me than eating breakfast at work. So hard to get up a few minutes earlier to get that breakfast in. Love that goal!

    Thanks for sharing your journey with us too! You have done a great job!! Keep up the good work!! :smile:

    What is a blue for day?
  • IsMollyReallyHungry
    IsMollyReallyHungry Posts: 15,385 Member
    A blue dot day is a Weight Watchers phrase for a healthy eating zone day. It is a 10 point range given to use each week depending on your weight.

    @IsMollyReallyHungry
    First, thank you for asking
    My short term goals are to make myself accountable (which is what I need this forum for. I do really well for a while then life throws me another curve.)
    Goals
    Plan healthy meals
    Healthful snacking
    Not let ones around me influence me to make bad choices
    Log food--Exercise consistently
    Make my step goal everyday

    Hello everyone! So great to see so many new "faces". I will take some time tomorrow to respond to each of you. Consistency is important. We always say here progress not perfection.

    Make as many smart choices as you can..
