We all have an end goal that we want to reach. Do you also set mini goals for yourself? My first mini goal was to be under 200 pounds by Christmas. I had a rough 2 weeks of up and down on the scale so I'm not sure that I will reach it. As of this morning I am 202.6 pounds. There is still hope:)

While I have a large overall goal the only way I'll attain it is by setting and achieving mini goals. I have the same goal as you, under 200 by Christmas.0

I had the same under 200 by Christmas, but I don't think it's going to happen... I was at 203.9, but then TOM weight gain started and this morning I was up to 205. Grrrr! Oh well, I'll be pretty darn close!0

I have a mini goal of 154 pounds which is in the healthy BMI range. I've gotten to 156 but then gained 2 more pounds
I'll get there eventually! 0 -
to reach 173 lbs which is where I reached when I first started my journey, then had surgery. goal after that is to reach the 160's then its onto the 150's...I go with increments of 10 lbs usually0

Run a 5k in under 35 minutes.
hit 155lbs (healthy BMI). (this is a ways off so I dunno if its a mini goal)
10 lbs down by the time I turn 30 (in June)!0 -
In order for me to reach my ultimate goal, I set up mini goals (makes it more achievable that way) I also set up rewards for when I achieve the mini goals...
My ultimate goal is to be 140-135 lbs (hopefully by summer 2012)
My mini goals and rewards:
Christmas be 173 lbs (I'm just 1 pound away from this goal)
1st MG (Jan.)-165 lbs- the reward for this one is a few new articles of clothing
2nd MG (Feb)- 160 lbs- Going out with a friend (like a date type situation
3rd MG(April)- 150 lbs-add to my new wardrobe collection
4th MG(June)- 140 lbs- Swimsuit shopping
5th and Ultimate Goal-135 lbs-Finish my new wardrobe and get a naval piercing (I always wanted one, and I promised myself that once I lose the weight I will get one)
I will post my exercise goals later on...0 -
My first goal is to be back at 155 my pre pregnancy weight, I have 15 more lbs to go than I will try for my goal to be 135-140 I hope by my 1 year wedding anniversary May 4th.0

I was hoping to hit 18 pounds lost by Christmas but I don't think that's gonna happen....oh well - just stay on track is really all I can do! :blushing:0

:grumble: I have only 1 goal - start losing weight again. I have been at 170 for 2-1/2 months. I will lose 1 or 2 pounds and then something will happen - like my back goes out - and I stop exercising for awhile, and start feeling sorry for myself, so I'll eat a pizza or some chips or candy and then gain back to 170. Then I get back to the healthy routine and start the cycle all over again. I swear it's like Groundhog Day.0

I am trying to get to 190lbs by Christmas - only 1lb away!!! I hope we all make our goals!0

My mini-goals were in 10lb increments, with a reward for each one.
At 10 lbs, I bought myself a new dress.
At 20 lbs, I got my hair cut and highlights.
At 30 lbs, I bought a pair of high-heel booties.
I just realized the other day, I hit 40 lbs, but didn't have a reward planned, so now I have to come up with one. I think I'll wait and see what I *don't* get for Christmas and get myself that. lol
A bigger goal was to be at a healthy BMI, which I achieved a couple of months ago.
After I reached my original goal of 36 lbs lost on MFP, I decided to go for another 10 by Christmas, but my baby was sick for a couple of weeks and ended up in hospital for 3 days last week, so with all that, I fell off the wagon temporarily. Now I will aim to complete that last 10 lbs by my birthday (early Jan.) and then focus on maintenance and getting fit.0 -
my first mini goal was to lose 10 lbs by christmas, I have always had the hardest time losing weight and its always been super SLOW, I am down 5 lbs, hoping to see 5 more go this week. BUT its not going as quickly as I had hoped!0
