I've decided mini-goals is the best way for me to go, so I'm doing 20 pounds each goal. (Trust me I have a ways to go). I just got over the half-way mark of my first goal, and seeing that ticker move the way it has is definitely an inspiration to me. First time I tried this, I had a lot bigger goal, and whenever I lost weight, the ticker hardly moved...it was kind of depressing, especially after seeing everyone else's move. Then I realized what I was doing wrong. My goals weren't goals at all, but A goal. So now, I have several different goals, and I'm much happier and much more motivated! This is my third go-round with MFP and losing, weight. This time I have my doctor in my corner of the ring, and I'm ready to impress next month when I go in for my follow-up. My doctor is great, and I don't think I could do this without her help and support! It just goes to show you find help and support in the most obvious (or unlikely) places. YAY ME!

Sounds like you are on the right track, Amber! Congrats for getting back on the wagon again, and I think that small goals are def the best. I have a LOT of weight to lose. With over 150 pounds to go I'm tackling 15 pounds at a time with rewards at each goal. : ) This weekend I get a day at the movies for hitting my 15 lb goal (great reward as I have 3 yr old twins and never get to go to the movies anymore). Keep up the good work! You can do it!
