What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

Dropping down into the next "stone" catagory as from this morning 😁

I am 8 pounds from being in the 160’s. I have been in the 160’s as a non-pregnant adult before and was easily able to lose weight. This gives me hope and motivates me to drop those 8 pounds.

The black leather skirt that I bought knowing that it was too small.

I was out of the 100’s this morning (at like 10am, well after I’d had my morning cup of tea). Here I come chasing 95! 😊

Walking to the park with my son regularly with out feeling back pain and having to stop n rest.

Losing enough fat in my hands to be able to fit into my old rings, including one my Grandma gave me when I graduated College!

In 8 lbs, I leave "obese" for overweight. I'm having a hard time getting back on track after taking time to stay with my mother, whose starting to suffer from memory loss. And today was my daughter's 19th birthday, and her friends have showered her (our house) with junk food . . . I know how to do this, I know how to do this, I know how to do this. I just need to get myself in gear.

My mini goal right now is hitting 150, simply because it's a nice, easy number and I'm only 3 lb away.
I think my next mini goal is fitting my old work slacks, and I'm not too far from that one!

My next mini goal is to hit 210 or under and I'm 2.5 lbs away from that goal. Hitting 25lbs in total. I'll be treating myself to a new handbag!

I want to get to where I have a cleaning schedule for the house again. I've always tried to have one, but it always had to be compromised by my chronic pain and fatigue. But with this surge of energy, maybe I can make one and have it be...just what I do, every morning.

Of course, yesterday's cleaning of the bedroom was thrown off by Boyfriend's need to spend large chunks of the day in bed. It's why I'm finishing it up now. But I have high hopes for a schedule I can keep in the future.

Today the head space was awful. Probably just over tired from night shift but I had to force myself to go on a bike ride and even then it was bad. So the mini thing motivating me today is just keep going. It's a marathon not a sprint! Every day is different. Some are amazing and others are absolute garbage. I know as long as I keep putting in the effort it will work out in the end.

Jumped on the scale mid week and I was down to 98.8 - I’m chasing hard and I will hunt down 95

Also my arms are starting to look like not fat arms, like regular person arms

(10 September) Oh and my new mini goal? (Duh! I was so excited at getting to two-thirds of the way to goal for the first time!) To be under 80 kg all day, not just in the morning after exercise, and to hit 78.3 kg which will be 75% of the way to goal (which is currently 75 kg).

78.2 kg this morning - whoot, whoot! 75.9% of my way to goal.

This was a real surprise as I have just adjusted my calorie intake to move from losing 1lb/0.5 kg per week to losing 0.5lb/0.25kg per week, so I thought it might take another couple of weeks to get to this point.

I'm not quite at the under 80 kg all day stage, but I am now weighing in at under 81 kg all day, which means I am in normal bmi all the time (even in the evenings with my clothes on). My waist is also now down to 88 cm which is less than half my height (180 cm), which as I discovered recently is another important marker of a healthy weight.

My next mini-goal is to be below 77.5 kg which will take me into the top of my maintenance range (assuming I maintain at 75kg +/- 2.5 kg). Suddenly this feels pretty close! MFP gave me 75.5 kg as my "if every day were like this in five weeks you would weigh..." recently. That was back up to 77.7 kg yesterday, but it was a reminder that my goal is within striking distance.

Cut the gym membership and bought a treadmill this past weekend - first goal is to use it daily this week. 3 out of 3 so far.
