What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

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.6 -
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!11

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!12

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.8

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.9

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.12 -
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 😔17 -
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....11

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.14

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!10

My next numbers goal is to hit 125 lbs. I need to slightly up my calories a day to a half pound loss a week. I’ll probably do this by increasing my protein servings. I don’t need to get to this goal in a rush tho which is why I’m increasing calories. I need to start eating closer to maintenance calories.
Non-scale goal:to start a strength and flexibility (stretching and yoga) program.
Another non-scale: to be better about eating more protein. Possibly find a decent tasting protein powder to have in a smoothie or oatmeal? I’m so picky with protein powders.
My body held on to water for days& days and then dropped a bunch at once(almost 2 lbs). 124.0 lbs this morning! Now 4 lbs to goal weight, whoohoo!!
I’ve been getting yoga in here and them here but need more and I’m still looking for a protein powder. It is a struggle to get 100g of protein... I get about 80-90 and really have to push for 100(like eat chicken for a snack or meal).

Trying to get to 75kg (165lbs) before Christmas to combat the inevitable (and accepted) weight-gain over the holidays.7

To get to 20lbs losted mark. So I can be out of the 150's and in the 140's. I just want to hit. 20lbs lost so bad 😁. It will be big achievement to me 🏆. I have 5.4 more lbs to go. To hit that mark. It is kinda slow. I'll get there eventually of course.6

My mini goal is just to keep up the exercise habit I've started. 30 minutes of exercise a day, no matter how light (yoga and walks count too!) juuust to keep me consistent. I tend to work out hard then burn out or injure myself, then I'm forced to take a break and consequently fall off the exercise wagon. Slow and steady is the name of this game. Also, I'm finding this way of slower exercise, I'm much more mindful of how my body is feeling and less prone to injury. And if I miss a day, so what? Perfectionism has never done me any favors. Finally learning to moderate myself. 😊
Same thing I do. I go a little too hard lol. Then have to break for days. Because I am injured.
I find that jumping exercises. Give me most injury. Im being mindful of how my body feel as well. Starting to moderate, them days off be a bummer. When know could of prevented it but going hard just got in the way. Moderation is key too even with exercise.4 -

Back yeah! I had that happen to me. I put on a shirt. That I didn't know. Didn't fit me anymore. Because I lost 14 pounds. Went out to the market. That tank top was hanging bad. Had to wear my jacket the whole time. It was a very good feeling. Just glad I had my jacket with me. I was like wow! I did lose some weight. That tank top use to fit snug.5 -
There are plenty of good cardio exercises that are low impact (=no jumping). I have dodgy knees so jumping is out for me, but I still like to work out. Have a look at BodyFit by Amy, low impact: https://bodyfitbyamy.com/beginner-low-impact-workouts/.DeterminedFee201426 wrote: »Same thing I do. I go a little too hard lol. Then have to break for days.

I am six pounds away from being in a normal BMI. Working to lose enough weight to be in single digit pant sizes. Will be there after the holidays.13

To lose 5 more lbs. by Christmas, which will make it 25 lbs since Sept. 30. That's a pretty modest goal, but usually I gain in December! The only good thing about covid is that the usual Christmas gatherings that I attend have either been cancelled or will be bring your own food so I will be able to control what I eat (yes, social distanced seating!)10

Yeah, jumping exercises were what caused a lot of my knee issues. I was doing the 30 day shred, then attempted to do C25K after that and my knees just said NOPE. Doing the moderation thing and knee stretching and strengthening exercises for a long while until my knees are in top top shape, before I even attempt jogging.
Days off do suck. I dont realise how dependent my mental health is on exercise until I can't do it!3 -
