I know we all have our own milestones we're interested in. My next few are close!

2lbs more and I've lost 3 stones!!!

Another 4 lbs after that and I break 100kg.

Another 4 lbs after that and I'm the lightest I remember being (probably about 10 years).

Long way to go to full target but that's some biggies there!!

    I have a few goals, as you know I've been struggling so they all seem very far away at the moment!
    Goal 1) 12lbs and I will be the back to the weight I've already lost twice since April
    Goal 2) 10lbs after that and I will be the same weight as I was last Christmas
    Goal 3) 12lbs after that and I will be the lightest I've weighed since 2010

    I think that's enough goals or I will be defeated before I start!!

    I find it easier to achieve when I set targets. Hoe it works for you too.

    I like the target idea.

    Goal 1) 6 pounds and I will be back at the weight I was 3 years ago
    Goal 2) 11 more pounds and I will be 35-40 pounds from goal range!
    Goal 3) 10 more pounds and I will be at my post-divorce weight without the stress!

    Stopping here and as I check off a goal, I will add a goal. :smile:

    Wow, I like how this has made me sit and really think about setting concrete goals.

    1) 3 pounds by 8/19 and I will be back to me lowest weight since we began this group.
    2) 10 pounds in 10 weeks. It's a good, realistic goal.
    3) Start walking again, no less than 4x/wk.

    I'm cheering for every one of you!!

    I started this journey at 247. I'm 225 last time I looked...let me set some milestones:

    1) at 200 I should begin to fit all the clothes I bought in 2012 the last time I was under 200. It's a good time to start donating big stuff and trying on things.

    2) at 185 I should fit every single thing in my closet EXCEPT for three items that I bought small on purpose. Everything I bought in 1993-1994, 1999, 2004-2006, 2009, and 2011-12 will fit. Those are the years I maintained 185.

    3) at 165 I think I will fit those last three items, and be the smallest I have been since 1990. In 1990 I was in 9th grade and still growing, but passed through 165 along my way.

    4) I believe I will go up and down in weight if I start aggressively lifting and training at this stage. I expect the scale number to wobble, but the clothing size to keep getting smaller.

    I need some milestones to get me through the next 25 lbs, though. It's so hard to be consistent with workouts with so much inertia at this weight--both literal and figurative.

    Update on goal 1 - Now 2 pounds closer - only 4 pounds until I hit this first goal. Sometimes it is the daily increments that keep me moving in the right direction. :smile:

    3. In 4lbs I'm the lightest I remember being
    4. 6lbs after that I'm only 15 stone (lost 4 stone)
    5. Next target is onederland! Which would be phenomenal.

    GOAL 1 - achieved! I am now at 179 and holding steady. There is something about crossing those 10 pound numbers that is liberating for me. I am hanging in there on the clean eating - not 100% clean, but around 95%. It is challenging when the whole household is not eating clean, but they are all making adjustments that help.

    number since 1987. :wink:
