Mini goals?

Is there a way to set mini goals on MFP? Or does anyone know of an app like that? I don’t want to change my end goal weight but I think it might be nice to see how close I’m getting to my mini goals.

Thanks!

    Dont know of any apps, but i once seen a girl post this rainbow bubble path on a piece of paper or something similar, it had goals in 5lbs measurements and she would color in each bubble as she hit them. Kept it on her fridge

    Thanks. I guess I could try that. Pity there’s not a nifty app or something to send encouragements and keep track.

    I see a great idea for an app. Yes?

    Use the Happy Scale app on your phone! I use mine and it gives me mini-goals of 5 pounds, and you can see your progress as you go. It's very motivating! Plus, when you record your daily weight it makes a graph that is the trending average so you see a nice gentle curve. I like that graph better than the one MFP generates, which is all spiky and makes any weight gain look like a disastrous failure in comparison.

    Thank you! That’s just about perfect.

    Agreed with this. I put so many mini goals in there they're just under 3lbs apart.

    For discussing and celebrating reaching those mini goals, I highly recommend this thread: https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10297709/what-mini-goal-is-motivating-you-right-now#latest

    I find it pretty inspiring and get lots of ideas from the different kinds of mini goals people set.
