I can’t wait to drop below 9st, been hovering around the 9st 3lb mark for a while whilst recovering from surgery but it’s now time to tighten up from semi-maintenance for healing. Those 4lbs can’t drop fast enough!6

I want to jog 15k. I know I can do it and have an event in two weeks to try it.9

161 lbs this am, 2 more lbs to be in 150's10

Had a good streak for the last few weeks. Let's keep it tight for the rest of the week, so I get that magic feeling again when looking at the scales on Sunday!

Onederland is a little over a 1lb away! (it's been 16 years since I've seen it)20

SAME! I look forward to seeing it flicker onto my scale a couple times this week between water weight swings from gym visits.5 -
Same goal I posted previously but I’m now only 1.2 lbs away from having obliterated 100 lbs. 😊

I'd like to lose about .5% body fat by my next check-in in mid-November!5

My next goals are the elusive 75 lbs lost mark (about 3 lbs away), and the 260s right after that (4 lbs away). I have never hit the 75 lbs lost mark, and I haven't seen the 260s in about 25 years. I'd LOVE to see both before Thanksgiving.17

mini goal is trying to accept my weight of 161. I got down to 156 one time and I cant seem to stay in 150s so I am changing my mind. As long as I dont gain I am ok. Much better than 208, which is where I came from.10

Less important goal: I will eat a feast of white castle when I've lost enough weight to earn said feast.6

I overdid this plan a bit & things started to go sideways, so new mini-goal: just be regular healthy eating machine, no heroics, until doctor's visit in 1.5 weeks. Slow & steady is a-ok.martianspuds wrote: »I see the doctor in about 4 weeks, and until then I'm going to be an ultra healthy eating machine to minimize any possible obstacle.

Hit my scale goal and I'm pushing forward with exercise outside of the pool.
Next goals...
Keep to my exercise schedule.
Log everything - good or bad.
Next scale goal is not so mini - 20.6 lbs.

I currently have two mini goals:
1. Lose 4.6 lbs by the end of the month. This would take me to the 50 lbs lost mark! I think it’ll be such an awesome feeling to be able to say “I’ve lost FIFTY POUNDS so far!” I know 4.6 lbs might seem like nothing but I haven’t really been losing any more weight for a few months now so I hope that changes.
2. Use my exercise bike again even if it’s for just 15 minutes a few times a week. After I reached my original goal weight I think I became a bit lazy and that’s why I didn’t bother using it anymore. I’ve used it two days in a row so far and I’m determined to stick to it 😊 No more excuses!9 -
10 pounds is the goal as well we got this 5 for this month and 5 next month!5

I’m looking forward to seeing family for Thanksgiving. I haven’t seen them since before I started my mfp journey in June.
They know I’ve lost some weight but seeing it will make them happy for me. That’s the mini goal that’s motivating me right now.9 -
Only 8.5 lbs to go now but have to survive my daughter’s birthday weekend.... my goal is not to put on any weight this weekend and to go for a long walk to offset some of the eating...!
Only 8.5 lbs to go now but have to survive my daughter’s birthday weekend.... my goal is not to put on any weight this weekend and to go for a long walk to offset some of the eating...!
So I survived my daughter’s birthday weekend and now only have 6.5 lbs to lose till the end of the year. The target is in sight
After a bit of a wobble over the Half Term kids holidays, I’m finally back on track to 1 lb loss a week. Only have 4.5 lbs to lose till the end of the year to meet my target, plus 0.5 lbs to 20 lbs lost since June 2019. Completely slow and steady.7 -
Current mini goals are flexibility related. Poor flexibility is making me terrible at and frustrated by yoga. Yoga totally seems like a thing I should like. It should be right up my alley.
So, I'm working on hamstring and calf flexibility, because I really want to fold in half like the nice people in the videos.9 -
next goal is around 10 lbs away to finally be back at normal BMI. I started at stage 3 obesity.18

Trying to break out of the 170s.5

Trying to get out of the 190's!5

Over halfway by Thanksgiving. Technically hit it this morning but it was a light weigh in. Won't count it until my daily ave for a week hits it.7
-
Trying to drink at least 2 litres of water daily. We're firmly in summer now (well technically still spring!)
Temps are in the 20s and remaining there so here's hoping!4 -

Flexibility happens over time - try to be patient with yourself. Good luck!5 -

Congratulations!
I was training for a half marathon until I fell and broke my arm 3 weeks ago. Surgeon says no running for another 4 weeks. So my mini goal is to heal my arm, regain flexibility and movement. And of course get back to running.9 -
I wanted to hit 140 by Thanksgiving but I actually ended up gaining a couple of pounds somehow. It has stuck around so I know it's not a fluctuation -- hit 144 a few weeks ago and now up to an annoying 146, which is fine and minimal I know but it's really impeding my progress toward my goal. Could be I got overly comfortable once I finally hit the healthy BMI range at 145.5.
I'm now moving that goal to the end of the year, which I think I should be able to do once I break out of this rut. At that point, I feel comfortable upping my calories to maintenance and switching to recomp.8 -

Haha! It didn't actually take more than a week or two, because as it turns out - I was doing it wrong. >_<
Looked over a page of troubleshooting tips for forward fold and I *totally* had my emphasis on my lower back instead of on *tilting my hips forward* first to get the right pelvic angle before engaging my lower back. Just the angle of my pelvis made a difference of like 8"inches of depth in the distance of my face from my knees. A yoga instructor would have spotted my problem in about 4 minutes, I'm sure, but I'm glad I've finally figured out part of the problem. Now I need to work on balance so I can do the standing one without face-planting! Ever onward!
Thank you for the encouragement!8
