To get my BMI below 40....I'm 40.8 now.13

The 170’s.
I haven’t been there since right before making a decision to try for baby number 3.
That baby is now 2yrs old.
Three years has been a long time waiting for all the pieces to fall into place and me to be losing sustainably and consistently. The last year has been the hardest because I know to write off the (yearish) of pregnancy + the year of nursing. I truly expected to get there once I weaned him. Alas. It took me longer than expected to figure out what this version of me needs.
I’m. so. close.
183.0 this am and it’s TOM

Get down to 115kg. Currently at 118.9kg6

Be under 250lbs by end of sept!8

I'm trying to focus on 10lb increments until I hit 60 or so. Right now I'm 6lbs away from being under 200 - that's my current goal, getting in the 1s again!!16

Reached 250 pounds today! What a nice round number!
When I reach 246, I will have lost 50 pounds, and be down to needing to lose less than 100 pounds to reach my goal. After 246, of course, it's reaching 245 and then 240!14 -
I'd like to remove the 4.5 Lockdown kilos! Put on 5.9 all together since March , lost 1.8 so far, then when they are gone I'll set a new goal.7

Ride a horse again.
I shared a horse for years, but the situation turned sour eighteen months ago and I haven't ridden since.
My friend just went through something similar, but instead of sulking like I did, she bought a colt to train. I'm not sure I want to get back into that community, but I'm sure I can lift myself up like she has.
I've gained some weight and now I'm right on my chosen riding school's maximum weight.
I will not be that person they weigh before assigning a horse, and I will not risk the walk of shame.
Also... My jodhpurs don't fit right now.
So it's not that mini, but it a small part of my goal : drop 1st, look less fat, get a riding lesson.12 -
To get down to 69 Kgs, I'm currently at 74 Kgs.

I'm 3# away from losing my 100th#, so that's mini-goal #1
Then I'll be 17# away from my high school playing weight, so reaching that is mini-goal #2.18 -
I just want to make it through today without going over calories.
All this being inside is starting to wear on me.11 -
My mini goal is to not eat just because I'm stressed and fit comfortably into my size 10 jeans this fall. I actually used to love jeans. I weigh more now than when I was pregnant with full-term twins!!! My 6-month goal is to fit comfortably back in my size 6 jeans. Trying not to focus to much on weight because I would like to gain a little muscle; have been working out 4-5 days a week in addition to a 1200 cal count.10

My mini goals are to track what I eat every day no matter WHAT I eat and to increase my workouts to 5 x's a week consistently.6

Well, it's taken another ten days of hovering between 80 and 81 kg (it seemed much longer than that!), but this morning my (heavy) scales showed 79.6 kg! Hurrah! Next mini goal is to have lost over 2/3 of what I am planning to lose, so to be below 79.4 kg, or to be below 80.0 kg before exercise.7 -
1. No more evening snacking- it's my downfall.
2. Checkup in 7 weeks- I want to be at "normal" BMI, which is about 7 lbs away...a pound a week is doable!

Strength training, every second day.
Tracking body measurements, weekly.

After the monthly Weights and Measures day, I have two mini goals.
(1) To reduce my weight below 320 lbs (hopefully in about two weeks).
(2) To bring my BMI to 39.9 or less by 4th October.
I am currently ahead of schedule to hit 300 lbs or less by 3rd January 20219 -
To get my A1C for prediabetes down for next month's appointment. I am right on the borderline with diabetes and prediabetes. We can do it! Cheering everyone on!13

Still shooting for the 170’s (and am 1/2lb closer than I was before!) but I have a few new mini goals thanks to the very kind folks in these forums who helped me work through and discuss an issue I was having related to not feeling optimal after sweaty, high impact, high intensity cardio workouts.
1. SLEEP. I think the fall/school routine will demand I figure this out (as if my body not feeling great wasn’t enough motivation). *eye rolling at myself over here* I need more sleep. I used to be able to live life as I currently am without much change but I think that’s no longer the case as of a few months ago. I will start with being asleep before 11pm at the latest and gradually move that earlier until I get back to 8hrs a night.
2. WATER. I feel my best on 1gal a day. That’s a lot of water. I will drink 1/2 Gal before lunch and 1/2 Gal after. It’s the before lunch part that’s been suffering so that’s where my focus is going to be. Funny thing is, I actually still get close to a half a day because without it I feel super thirsty. But as I drink more later in the day to make up for the mornings forgetfulness I experience a proportional amount of disrupted sleep from needing to pee several times in the night. Ridiculous. (Me. I am ridiculous. These habits I have formed this summer are ridiculous.
)
3. Stretching/conditioning. I will pursue to build back the habit of cooling down well after my workouts as well as adding in a day devoted to the stretches and exercises that help me feel my best. I am willing to take away a day of harder work and sub this in instead if it means I build the habit. Once the habit is built I will rework the schedule again and reassess from there.
This will likely take me a few months simply because my best lifestyle changes happen gradually over time instead of immediately all at once. I’ll tackle these one at a time starting with the one that seems most doable. Here’s to the mini goals!9 -
To lose weight by my next physical - mini goal5

Goal 2. Losing 40 pounds since I started again (222 pounds).
Goal 3. Losing three stone (220 pounds).
Goal 4. Getting below 100kg (220 pounds).
I guess goals are like buses!8 -
5 September Next mini goal is to have lost over 2/3 of what I am planning to lose, so to be below 79.4 kg, or to be below 80.0 kg before exercise.
At 79.4 kg this morning after exercise, so 66.9% of my way to goal. That's the first time I have seen that number on the scale for quite a while! And the shirt I bought in the Long Tall Sally closing down sale which showed all my bulges when I bought it looks pretty good now. Unfortunately I did not take a bulgy photo, but here is one from this morning:
