What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

I have loved reading through these! My most immediate goals is to get down to 250lbs while losing the minimum amount of strength/muscle possible.

I'm attending a March wedding in Kerala. Would be nice to wear a sari with a toned stomach!

I am 6 pounds from 300, and 7 pounds away from my first goal of 299 (because I honestly can't remember the last time I weighed less than 300 pounds).

Well, as of yesterday, I'm 1 pound away from 300 (the scale just couldn't let me have it), but I'm happy knowing that at my next weigh in, I should be at 299 (that is if I keep losing at the rate I've been losing). Then after that, I'm looking at 293 because then I'll be down 50 pounds, and honestly, that kind of blows my mind when I think about it.

Today I weighed in at 298...beat my first goal weight by one pound...next up 293, for fifty pounds gone.

As of this morning I weigh 290, beating the 293 I had set up for my next 'goal' (which was really my first big goal). The lady who's leading my pre-diabetic class was like "You're out of the 300's", and I'm like "Yes, I am." So happy, so very happy. Next goal weight...268, which will put me at a loss of 75 pounds since I began doing this back in March.

Well, as of this past Monday, I've hit the -75 mark at 268(.8)...:) So my next mini goal/long term goal is...243, which will be the -100 pound mark.

Current mini goal is to bring my cardio fitness level up to "Fair" from "Poor". Started at 23-27 and I've bumped it up to 25-29 in a month. Need to hit 31.2 to be in the fair range. So close!! FYI this is From fitbit charge 2

This morning I was Finnnnnaaalllllyyyyy in ONEDERLAND. 199.2! Been working on this goal is October. It's been slow and I lost a bunch of inches without the scale moving much but it feels good to make it!!!

Next goals:
196.7 - 30% of my body weight lost!
191 - 90lbs lost!
179 - move out of the obese category and into overweight!!!

Non-weight related:
Finish my 30 day plank challenge with my friend (we only have 4 days left)
Start wall sit challenge with same friend
Keep doing my strength training exercises!


Edited for spelling.

My first goal is to lose 15 pounds out of a total of 59. I am 2 pounds away. And it will be 1 pound under 200.

I have an appointment on January 11th for my annual checkup with my general practitioner. Last year, he pretended to be excited that I had lost 8 lbs between January 2015 and December 2015. I weighed 234 at the end of December 2015, and my goal is to get down to 184 by my January 11 2017 appointment. That would be a 50-lb loss and I think he would be excited for real! I'm at 192-193 today, normally losing 1.5 to 2lbs / week so I think 8 lbs in 6 weeks is do-able.

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.

Oh my god! Way to go! I think it's great that he not only supports your loss, but knows you're strong enough to go even further!

Can I ask, what kind of build do you have? I've always thought I had a medium build, at 5'5" also, so it's interesting to see 130 as standard.

Sorry - just now seeing this! My build is kinda strange, but allover it probably averages to "Average" build. My wrists and ankles are small, but my shoulders are HUGE. Really, I can see the bones and muscles through the skin so they won't get much smaller. And my arm, back, leg, etc. muscles are really large for a woman. If I hadn't gone off the rails and got fat, I probably could have been a pro bodybuilder. I'm not sure if the doctor realizes this, so I'll get down to 140 and see how I look and feel, and then think about 135-130ish.

My new mini-goal is to get to 165 by Easter. Today I weighed in at 178 so 13 lbs in 10 weeks is reachable. And I did meet my goal of chucking the Size 16's and now I fit into all of my Size 14's. Yay! I have no idea how to gauge weight / sizes so maybe I can fit into some 12's at 165?

My husband has NEVER experienced a weight problem. Currently I wouldn't dream of telling him how much I weigh. My mini goal is to not feel embarrassed for him to see the scale.

I have been struggling majorly to get some consistency. I tend to fail after four days. Every. Time. So, my goal isn't just mini - it's teeny - but it is to nail ten consecutive days of tracking, staying under my calorie goals and being active in some way. Hopefully that will help to lay the foundation for the bigger picture!

Being consistent by making it to gym 3 times a week not matter what happens to my schedule, I have a trip in mid march to Florida which will involve pool and bathing suit....ugh

Losing at least 6lbs by Feb 28th. It's part of a larger 50lb-60lb by mid summer goal but little changes daily will help me reach it.

Just get below 240. Been stuck in lower 40s since the holidays..

I'm trying to get out of the 170s. Never been there before recently and never want to go back!!

Edit: only a couple pounds to reach that mini goal. The ultimate goal is to be out of the "overweight" BMI range. 159, here I come!! And maybe more...baby steps!

Lose 0.7kg more! Then I'll have a normal bmi!
