    PW (Previous Weight): 191.7
    CW (Current Weight): 189.8
    LTD (Loss to Date): 17.2

    Under 190 and closing in on the 20-lb mark. I started in May and by August I was up and down for a total of around a 2-lb weight loss in 3 months. It was hard for me back then to even imagine hitting 20-lbs. My next mini-goal is 179.9 which I hope to hit by 11/15. I am even looking beyond that to 169.3 by 1/1 which would put me in the overweight BMI category.

    Woo hooo!!! I love your goals!!! My BF and I just reworked our next. We will continue with the morning “toe” photos like you and I talked before. We are shooting for 165 by 11/4.

    I think the mini goals really help keep the momentum going.

    I am interested in joining this group. My starting weight in August 2019 was 230, my current weight is 184.5. Haven’t quite determined what my goal weight is. The lowest weight I have been s 150 so I am going to use that as my goal weight.

    I am not excited about this at all. Is it bc I’ve been on the journey a while? Maybe I need a good smack across the head!!!

    @Beka3695 congrats on your loss! It’s easy to get underwhelmed when the numbers aren’t going down as fast as we would like. But, at least they are going in the right direction!

    I’m confused. You list 1.8 lbs .... why are you not excited? That’s a good loss.

    No, no, no, you definitely don't need a smack across the head! -1.8 lb is a good loss! Be kinder to yourself, I'm sure you're doing great :)

    Although I listed my first mini goal as 160 I am feeling that 175 is also a mini goal. It’s so close! I hope to hit it by the end of the week 🤞🏻

    @TiffanyPe17 - your goals seem very realistic. I set my mini goals for 10lbs increments. I love celebrating small milestones. It gives me extra motivation

    Tuesday check in. Started (again) on 9/1/20
    SW: 205. My current weight is 200.4
    My first mini goal was to get to 199 by Oct. 1st. Hopefully will get there.
    I think I'm going to try for a 5lb loss a month. I'm recovering from surgery and will be for at least a couple more months.

    So, the scale is headed down today and I am now 0.5 over instead of 0.8 over last weeks weigh in. I am bummed out because I “only” lost 6.8 lbs in September but lost 7.6 in August. I know that’s foolish and 6.8 is great but it has me in a funk because I am up this week. Hopefully, tomorrow is down more and I am net negative by Friday.

    I have trust in the process and will keep following my plan. I know it will turn around.
