What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

I've had several mini goals along the way. My current one is to see 199 on the scale. I am 13 pounds away, with a total loss of 66.8

Finally started seeing the scale move in the right direction! Stuck at 152.something for 2 weeks! Even had a 2.4 pound upswing (due to sodium) Wednesday. Then, it started falling off a pound at a time! Finally got rid of that dreaded 2 in the pounds place! This morning, 151.2...it moved to the ounces place! Hopefully, after my active weekend I have planned, I can reach that 150 mark.
That's my current mini goal.

Next mini goal: 145 by the end of March. With the scale finally moving, I have rejuvenated motivation to make it happen!

Horribly shallow, but here goes. I've always been the "fat sister" even though I've never been huge- I was a UK size 12/14 before, but my sister was always a UK 8. We are going on holiday together in a few weeks and I'm finally wearing a size 8 too. I'm not going to feel like a whale next to her and I might see if I can borrow that blue top of hers I've been eyeing up!

I can relate. Sibling stuff is difficult. I have mixed feelings about the next time I see my sister, which will be after I hit goal. She's always been a bit cruel about my weight. She's the "pretty/thin" one; I'm the "smart" one. I want her to know that I've lost the weight, but don't want to talk about it. We don't get on well, and food/weight has always been a trigger topic. I'm pessimistic about it to the point that I'm considering just traveling for the holidays instead of seeing her at my parents' house. Then I'll send them a Christmas picture of me on the beach in my bathing suit.

Ahh bless you. It must be really difficult if your sister isn't particularly kind about your weight. My sister has always told me I look lovely but by the very nature of our size difference, I always felt like a blob next to her. It doesn't help that we look like twins (we aren't) other than the weight.. and we sound the same. When people would say "I don't think I know your sister.." I'd describe her to people as "she looks exactly like me but half the size" not cool.
When I saw her after I lost the weight, she grabbed me in a bear hug before shoving her hand down my jeans exclaiming "you've disappeared!!" Lol! Strange woman. Now I can describe her as "looks like me, but shoves her hands down your trousers when she sees you"

This is sweet, and made me LOL! It's nice to know there are these sorts of sisters out there. Even if they do shove their hands down your pants.

Two things.
I saw 199.5 on the scale a week ago. Haven't been under 200 since before menopause over 2 years ago.
Getting faster in swim practice and leading my lane and maybe needing to move to a faster lane.

I am so so so so close to be out of the 200s! Ugh I didn't lose anything this week and I'm dying to see 199 on the scale!

172 was as low as I got the last time I dropped weight - so 169 is my next mini goal on the way to 150. I can't wait to see that 6, it's been years!!! Only 9 pounds to go....
