What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

Mine's really silly (I think) - this is my second round of major weight loss, the first was in 2009. I then gained all and some back over the last 6 years, so I'm about to reach my "first starting weight" and that for me shines light into the end of the tunnel!
Ah yes this is almost exactly my situation too. I dropped maybe 20 pounds in 2009. Didn't make it all the way to a healthy BMI before it started creeping back up, then went another 30 pounds over, sadly. Since I joined MFP in May of this year I've dropped those additional 30 pounds, which I couldn't be more pleased about, yet it's a little bit of a mind-*kitten* to understand that I'm only at the starting point of last time around.
This time will be different because last time was under pressure from my vain and micromanaging mom (even though I was in my mid-30s at the time!), who not only wanted me to lose weight but also was convinced she knew how I should go about it (she stuck a copy of the South Beach Diet book in my hand). This time I'm doing it for myself and with the MFP community and 'If it fits in my calories/macros' I'm doing it in a way that is, I think, logical and sustainable for my personal situation. So I'm motivated by the little successes and the taking stock process I've been going through along the way.6 -
Start 2018 in Onederland.
SW 225, CW 211. Libra says I'm on track for mid December.
I'm trying not to look too far ahead, but rather focus on making choices each day that get me closer to my goals.7 -
I definitely beat my time from last year, and was not last. Approx. 25 minutes better, AFTER running the 1K with my 2 year old, who was the littlest and probably the youngest there (& not last either). I don't know my overall finish but i was 22/30 just in my age group so goal smashed for sure. I made it a 7K or so between Little Bit's 1K and my 5K, then going back on the course to meet my husband and sister in law for their finish. ♡♡♡10

8 more pounds to be under 230, a place I don’t remember being in at least 6 years, maybe longer.10

Getting my cycling cadence up from only in the upper 60's to be 85.Then my husband will put on a better component for my bicycle. So I can cycle faster. Cadence is the number of times you pedal per minute.6

This week's mini goal is to stay under calories all week and reduce my sugar intake, especially since I have 2 Halloween parties to attend on Saturday, and I know I'll be indulging. I'm currently down with a wicked cold, so I'll be stuck getting exercise in by just walking.
Still aiming for sitting solidly in ONEDERLAND. I'm trying to do it by Thanksgiving! About 10 lbs to go!7 -
Reach 20 lbs lost, only .5 away! Goal 2 is to stay there! Lol4

)

Mine is to get below 150 (I am 5'1"). Reading many posts and interacting is so motivating. I can do this. I also made a list of rewards at various weight-loss points. My first one is a big one to get me started: new cross-trainers.3

I found a pair of trousers from a few years back that I adore - size 8s from The Limited in a gorgeous shade of sage green. I can pull them on and over my hips with ease, but can't zip them up yet. Soon, my pretties. Soon.8

I may be crazy for even considering this, and I need to decide very soon, but I just MAY sign up for the Rock N Roll half marathon on 12/3. The most I have done is a 5K (preceeded by a 1K with my little one, and followed by a 1K going back on the course to meet my husband and sister in law). I can easily do the 5K that day but like my trainer says, if it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you.5

4 more days and I will have been within my goalweight-zone for a full year.
@brookielaw : Sign up for this half-marathon.
You have more than 1 month left to prepare ...
Why are you still reading this? You should be out there training!

A pound a week until Christmas. Super doable. Would put me at 52 pounds down this year.15

Current mini goal is to be in the healthy BMI range (3 more pounds) and lose a total of 100 lbs by the end of the year (10 pounds away). Also, a mini mini goal is to be able to fit chocolate into my calories/marcos today.9

I've reached the point where people are telling me I look good and assuming I'm done losing weight. However, I'm gunning for that overachiever, fit look--the one where you actually look like you work out. Hoping to reach it by the end of the year!9

Logging every morsel heading into the weekend....with everything else in alignment I should have dropped at least half pound this week but I did not. I have been gaining and losing the same 4 pounds since July. I am getting pissed at myself. so the plan is: have a plan and stick to it for one day at a time!6

I'm wanting out of the 200s. I'm 207 right now, and 198 (because 199 is too close) is only 9 lbs away. I'd like to be there by Christmas.12

I just started over again, and made nearly 40 mini goals, and 128 NSV to hit! Today I hit my goal for "No longer Morbidly Obese!" Which is super great! Next up is to hit my weight from the start of the summer before going on a long work trip where I gained a lot of weight, and then a more important 5% lost goal. Feeling pretty good about it actually14
