Being able to fit comfortably in my size 6 jeans again. When I first started mfp in late October, I couldn't get those jeans over my butt! Now 14 lbs down, I can button them up. But need to lose a few more pounds yet.11

What is on the line for this? 30 lbs in less than 2 months is a pretty aggressive goal though. Make sure you don't overdo it and not hurt yourself in the process.0 -

It's taken 10 wks to lose 5 lbs. I'm now a little less than 5 away from my goal of 125! I can barely believe it! (All these exclamation points!!!)
Almost as soon as I posted this, I bounced back up to 133ish. Argh. Today, I am 129.2.
Next mini goals:
-- No more bouncing back up!
-- 127
Woot! 127.4 today! 2.4 lbs to go to my goal weight.
Seriously, I could cry. I NEVER thought I'd be able to get here ... How awesomely ridiculous is it that my New Year's Resolution is to lose 2.4 lbs!?
I DID IT: 125.0 lbs today!
This is both my mini-goal and my overall weight loss goal. Over 100 lbs gone!
Did the happy dance for a few seconds and am now setting a new goal: 120. I'm barely 5'1" and could lose some more, so I'll keep going.

Thank you! It's sort of just really hitting me what a big deal it is for me.2 -

I love Pi Day! Maybe for all the wrong reasons. That's the day I eat 3.14159 servings of pie in all of its varied forms -- quiche, pizza, and berry pie.
And now i have to do this!5 -
March 1st I decided to change my lifestyle and really lose the weight once and for all. I started out at 214 and got down to 196 before I got depressed, lost motivation, and started slipping. Then, my mother passed away.
From June until October 23rd I gained back all but 3 of those pounds I lost started at 211 this time. I am down to 200.6 now and want to get down to 196 or below by the new year. It will put me back where I was finally and feel more like a true starting point.
I was 195.6 as of 12/25. I think there will only be a small loss on 1/1 or I will just end up maintaining, but still I made my goal. I am under 196!
Next mini goal is to get out of the 190s! Hopefully by the end of January.
189.4 as of this morning 1/14!
My next mini goal is to lose 10 lbs so I can get out of the 180s and no longer be obese just overweight.
Let's try for the first week in March? Will update when I reach it.11 -
UPDATE:
Well, I got down to 185 according to his scale but 182 according to mine. He was still happy that I lost 49 lbs over the year. Then he asked what my goal weight is. I told him 150, possibly down to 140. He told me to try for 135, and that anything over 150 at my height (5 ft 5") is still too much. My bubble of happiness has temporarily burst. He gave me a year to do it, so I'll reset some mini goals after I recover from the gut-punch. So my next goal is to get rid of all my size 16 pants and XXL tops and fit into all size 14 jeans and Large tops. That should happen within 6 weeks, when all the stores start bringing out the cute spring clothes.
You lost 49 lbs!!!!!!!! Don't let anyone burst your bubble.
Also, is it just me or does your doctor seem to be a bit of a *kitten*?
I'm the same height as you and yes, anything over 150 lbs is overweight at our height by the BMI chart. He's telling you to aim for 135 lbs because it would put you in the middle of the healthy weight range at 5'5.
Personally, my goal is 150 lbs too. Once I reach that most likely I will try to get to 145 or even 140, but I don't see 135 lbs being a thing for me. It could happen, but with me being sedentary (desk job) and having a larger frame I think I'll be pleased to just be in the high end of the healthy range.8 -
Next week I'm going up to Georgia for the birth of my first grandbaby, my daughter is due Feb. 2. Lots of family and friends will be there, including my ex-husband. I don't want them to see me as the fat lady!11

I wrote above that my mini-goal was to get to 207, which is at an "overweight" BMI. I'm still 9 lbs away, but I found a great deal on my celebratory purchase: a nice indoor bike trainer (used, but in excellent condition). I'm setting it up now, but I'm not allowed to use it until I hit the goal. The anticipation is going to be VERY motivating. Especially done my husband is going to be using it! I can't wait!4

Get to 215 n down from there1

Still working to get size 10.5 inch arms.. been at 11s for quite some time with the rest of my body steady shrinking and tightening. Lol Doing progressive weight training and eating at a slight deficit. Will reevaluate in a couple months. I know I can't spot reduce, but I can hope right?1

Made it to ONEderland today Next mini goal is 194 (my first time joining MFP weight), then 190 to make the doctor happy, then 183 to get out of the obese BMI range.12

Wow we currently weigh exactly the same! Good luck I set 250 as my goal for St. Patrick's Day since I am pretty sure I'll get to it by then.
Another mini goal is getting to obese class 1... it's only a pound away for me (i'm 6'1")4
