Hey everyone! I'm curious as to what is or was everyone's first "mini-goal" whether that be weight or NSV.

I have set mine at getting back in the 200s which would mean a loss of 13 pounds. Not much but every step counts!

    My first goal was to get to 9.5st from 12st. And I've done it! Very pleased. But since in not a tall person I can still afford to lose another stone. So now I want to get to around 8.7st but I want to tone up my flab mainly. I wouldn't mind losing a few inches rather than weight now. I think that's a fair trade off :)

    Mine is to hit 130kg and to feel comfortable on an actual bike rather than just the one at the gym!

    I am currently working on my first mini-goal: Saying goodbye to 200 and hitting 199. This means I have 25lbs to lose to reach this goal, and I am already anticipating the amazing feeling... I've been around 230 lbs for about 4 years without being able to get out of my rut. I can't wait!

    Hi! My first mini goal is to get under 160. I have been close sooo many times and gain it right back. I only have 3 lbs to go to this goal, but it has taken forever!

    I'm closing in on my first mini goal which is to lose 5% of weight which will put me down to 266.1lbs. After that it's onwards to getting down to 253 which will be just under 10% and was the lowest weight as adult I have on record with my doctor and that was more than two years ago. I'm well on my way. :) Good luck everyone keep up the good work and don't get discouraged.

    My first mini goal was to get below 200. I did that then went up 5 lbs. I have now reached under 190. My next goal is 180. I just hope it does not take so long as the last one! I am not fighting it any longer!

    my first mini goal is to get under 200, only 4 more to go :)

    First is to lose 10%, which puts me at 175. I'm 188lb now, so a bit to go there
    Second is to run for 30 mins straight - I was close tonight with only 2 x 1.5min walks
    Third is to make it to my workout class three days a week for 2 weeks, then I will wake up the remaining two days to run. (i have a habit of OVER setting goals when I get started, then when I "fail" I stop all together, so that's why I'm not "allowed" to work out 5 days a week until I can be consistant with 3 days a week for 2 weeks)
    Finally - I want to round out my eating so that I'm hitting all the MFP goals (calories, carbs, fat and protein) I get to the end of the day and am always way over in fat and under in protein and carbs, but not enough room in calories to fix it - I know this will come from making better food choices which will be better for me in the long run!

    My first mini-goal was not a number, really. It was simply to be able to wear some of my cute clothes again, which I 'outgrew' so quickly while my thyroid disease went undiagnosed. Thirty pounds in three years was mind-boggling to someone who wore her wedding dress on her 25th anniversary. To make matters worse, I'm beginning to lose muscle due to a degenerative nerve condition, so those pounds were 100% fat. I never wanted to believe I couldn't lose the weight again, so I've been limping along on just a couple baggy, stretch-waisted outfits from the resale shop. Meanwhile, my cute clothes have been languishing in the closet.

    Since losing 15lbs, I finally met that goal last week (hello again, size 8 capris!), and am purging my closet of the ratty fat clothes. Good riddance! :drinker:

    I've struggled to get below 300 for so long & I just did it this week. Yeah!!! That's a total of 38 so far. I got rid of 6 bags of BIG clothes so far & have plenty more to go as I lose. My goal is just taking it slow & keeping it off. All the other methods got me nowhere. I only look ahead 10 lbs @ a time, otherwise you might give up & get discouraged when you look @ the total picture.

    MFP is working for me...I need accountability, and these message boards keep me going in the right direction : }
