    My minigoal is really my main goal: to get out of the "overweight" category. My whole family has developed Type II diabetes. I know I need to do my best to stay out of the danger zone. After that, I feel like I'll be able to breathe easier. I'm 5'8" at 176 lbs, and I need to get down to 164. 12 lbs to my goal.
    I don't want to stop there - I felt my best when I was at 140.

    My "ultimate" goal is reaching 152lbs, which is what I weighed in 2nd grade and I've only ever gone up from there. I'd still like to continue losing from there, but it's not as important as reaching 152!

    I remember this number so vividly, because I had one "fat friend" in 2nd grade, and she wanted us to weigh ourselves, and I was so sure I wasn't gonna be as heavy as her but clocked in like 10+lbs higher than her... Nowadays it would be a pretty great weight on my frame!

    My mini goal is to get under 200 lbs. by my next check up with my doctor in late January. It's about 13 lbs. away and I feel like I can make it (and still enjoy myself at Christmas).

    I ordered a pair of size 12 flannel-lined jeans for when it gets cold next month. My 14s are pretty loose, but I bet the 12s will be tight. So my goal is to be comfortable in them by January.

    Really short term? My husbands christmas party is this weekend. I want to stay on track and see another small loss before going.

    A little farther out...I'm about 8# from my pre children weight and I want to be there by end of February.

    159lbs by 12/31/15 my current weight is 163.6 so not sure if its possible but it would be great to end the year in the 150's even if its barely in the 150's lol.

    159.9 still counts, IMO! lol!

    Two mini-goals.

    1) To hit 230 (I'm at 238).

    2) To fit well in my nice fitted shirts, and slacks.


    My last goal was to get out of the obese category, and I hit that this past week. Yay.



    My use of the word goal is really lose. This is just stuff I want to do, and am impatiently awaiting. So it's more like milestones that I am excited for, rather than actual goals. :)

    We won't discuss today because I came into work to find a client had brought us a huuuuuge cinnamon streusel cake and a biiiiiiig container of various nuts and I said yes to the cake and yes to way too many cashews but....

    I weigh myself once a week and log the average at the end of the month so I'm shooting for 110 lbs as the average. I don't have any kind of time frame in mind. Just the number.

    Several mini goals for me:

    To be able to wear my uk10 goal jeans out in public. They're just a bit too snug - maybe another month...

    To lose 1kg per month from 1st December to 29th February so that I am firmly out of the "overweight" bmi range -current BMI 25.9.

    To improve my deadlift past 80kg.

    To keep working towards achieving an unassisted pull up.

    My next goal is 150lbs, ideally by May 1st, although I'm hoping more for March 1st. I'm 165lbs now and while it's not an impossible goal, I'm not hung up on the time frame either. I will reach 150lbs. After that, I will reach 125lbs. When that happens is up to my body and I've had to become ok with that.

    My mini goal is to lose 5 lbs by Christmas instead of gaining it. I am tired of my clothes being too tight and feeling like crap. I want to feel amazing again!

    Was able to get into a new blouse on Saturday.
    Goal #1 No weight gain over the holidays. So far so good! I am dancing around less than 3 lbs from what I weighed on Thanksgiving (US) morning.
    Goal #2 No longer being obese about 10 lbs more down and I will officially be overweight.

    My mini goal is to to from where I am right now, 166, to 162 by the end of the year. That will make an even 20 pounds lost for the year and at 5'8" I will be out of the overweight BMI category for the first time in over 10 years.

    2.2 pounds away from the third of ten mini goals on my happy scale ap. Achieving each mini goal keeps me motivated and pushing to reach that next one.

    I love the mini goals on happy scale. It really helps keep me motivated.

    To deadlift and squat 1.5 x my body weight. To run a 10k race under 55 min (haven't run any 10k race yet)

    I'm looking to gain muscle. That's not really a mini-goal though.

    I guess a true mini-goal would be to dead lift 225. It's calculating to be my 1 rep max and I'm looking forward to trying it.

    Not really a mini goal, more like my ultimate goal, but I just got married and I would like to be at a healthier weight so I can have children and have a healthy pregnancy.
