What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

For me it's getting into a size 8 jeans. I've been a 10 in my adult life but I've never been an 8. Right now I'm a really loose 12 and looking forward to 10's then 8's!!!

I am 16lbs from my big goal of being in a normal BMI. I want to not gain during the holidays. I know that it will take some huge self control.

After 3 weeks of cutting weight and wearing a uniform that became to big/loose on me, I finally bought a new uniform that fits just right. My mini goal is to cut the next 2lbs minimum which should help me cut 1/2 inch around the waist and give me more room in this new uniform.

I've lost 23 pounds and would like to lose 26 by Thanksgiving. This is so that I can enjoy Thanksgiving and still have lost 25 when it's over

25 pounds would feel like a real achievement and like I'd got rid of a decent chunk of the fat I'm trying to lose.

How amazing that this post has been going on for 5 years

My mini goal is to lose about 13kg (I am down 4kg) by the end of April because we are fingers crossed driving to Italy for our first family holiday in (what will be) 3.5 years.

My goal is 240 by Christmas/end of the year. That's four more pounds. I'd love to hit 60 pounds lost at 236, but that may be a bit of a steeper goal.

I had hoped to be further down the scale by now, but there's been COVID, and we moved house in the middle of it, and we all know stress can make the body hold onto weight. I figure 52 pounds (so far) is a good start, and I am good at this now, I can keep it going next year while I write.

Cross the 200 lb threshold and keep below 200 through the holiday season!

1. The 6,000 steps a day plan helps me get more steps than I've been getting each day in small increments.
2. Then, just maintaining my healthier eating habits during very stressful times. (House got damaged by a large tree last weekend.)

Just those two smallish goals are making a difference in how my clothes fit and are manageable even in difficult times! :-)

Seeing the scale show below 76 kg. It seems to have been stuck between 76.3 and 77.5 kg for ages, which in reality is about a month. (Oddly looking back to last time I lost, I see I had the same issue at around this weight.) However, this morning I was at 76.1 kg (which due to the way I have programmed it, my spreadsheet tells me is 11 stone 14lbs [sic!], down from 76.3 kg = 12 stone). So nearly there! Once I am below 76kg, I have less than 1kg to go to goal at 75kg.
I punched two new holes in my belt. The first one is comfortable but I can even do my belt up to the second.

I really want to be at 160 by end of year, which is four pounds down from where I am now, though I doubt I'll make it since christmas is one of my few "free days" and I will probably have some water weight gain from eating a few festive but non-clean foods. So I'll settle for 160 by my MFP 1 year anniversary, January 6.

My goal is to stay on a downward trend for certain dates coming up. Weddings, my birthday, swimming next summer, etc. I have a daily goal to stay within my calories. I take it day by day. If I can maintain the weight I was this morning to tomorrow when I record my weight for the week I will be more than pleased!

So CLOSE!! I'm thinking fireworks are in order soon!

3 more pounds down is 55 pounds lost!

Getting into the 100's! I am planning on being there by mid-January, sooner might be doable but I don't want to set myself up for disappointment so we'll see what happens. It's a lot closer than I was when I started.

Keep my strict CICO going for 2 weeks, I'm on day 9 today and feeling pretty good about it.

I just discovered, today, that I can jog 2 miles without walking. My mini goal is a 5K. Running has been a beast for me. I can lift heavy and do cardio and have been working out consistently for the last 2 years but for some reason I couldn’t run. Of course, I have been avoiding running but the coach prescribed a 2 miles run/jog today and I did it! I am super stocked! I will add running to my routine and train for a 5K. It’s funny how hope can inspire! 🏃🏾‍♀️

190 lbs the morning before Thanksgiving, and then 190 again January 2. Tis the season...

SalinitySally

199 by Christmas.

Steelkid

380 to end the year.

AlexandraFindsHerself1971

Mini goal is to be at 55 pounds lost by the end of the year. 60 would be nice, but that's pushing it.

I don't suspect I'll lose in the next week as I am three pounds up overnight and my hands are swollen and it's getting to be That Time Of The Month. But it's entirely reasonable after that's all past to lose three pounds next month even with my birthday and Solstice and New Year's happening.

Mewlingstork

Trying to get below 160 by Thanksgiving. Currently 160.8, I can do this if I stay on track this weekend and don't snack!

joyanna2016

Trying to lose 1.5 lbs this week so when family asks me at Thanksgiving how much I've lost, I can truthfully say 40 lbs!

sakurablossoms82

To have lost 2,8 kg by December 31st. Because then I lost 20 kg since I started my weight loss journey. First I was thinking to aim for a BMI of 25 but I think losing 8 kilo's is unrealistic, specially with Christmas. Lucky me we don't celebrate Thanksgiving in the Netherlands. So I only have Christmas to deal with when it comes to way to much yummy food.

talpaengi

I have a few tops which are starting to feel too big. I want to reach a point where they are so big on me that I can confidently donate them.

Over a yo-yo weight loss and gain over the past six months, I’ve finally recommitted to mfp. I’ve lost two lbs since last Sunday . My mini goal is to lose another 2.5 lbs in November to take me to 11 stone 9. I’ve restarted walking which I find easier than the gym.

I am now 1/4 of a lb away from my goal! My new goal will be to get to 11 stone 7 by the end of November, which will be a 1/2 stone loss!

Finally did it! I weigh 11 stone 8.5 this morning so happy! I’ve upped my walking to average 15,000 a day and it’s really boosted the weight loss in rainy weather.

AwesomeSquirrel

Actively trying to maintain at my current weight (80kg) until mid January. It’s 3 kg above a healthily BMI but my weight loss has been quicker than I’m comfortable with and I think I need to level out to make sure I stay healthy.

The original goal for 2020 was 87kg by end of year so maintaining here for a while is not a failure...

Besides a practice round at maintenance is bound to be a good learning experience and should reduce pressure around the holidays. Of course I may be alone for Christmas this year which would vastly reduce social eating of holiday foods 😔

Fitting into the next size down. I am in between sizes in certain brands/makes....annoying but the thought I am indeed smaller than I was last year at a similar weight....is making me happy/excited....

HHdeern66

Temperatures are dropping and my Jeans are super uncomfortable. I don't want to buy a bigger size. My mini goal is to fit comfortably in the size I was last winter.

Katerr1kk

I am 3lb away from having lost 42lb (3 stone), I'd quite like to get there before the end of the year. It is proving very, very slow though!
