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).

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 -

I've been rewatching The Walking Dead and I realized that if there's ever a zombie apocalypse, I would never be able to outrun a zombie.
So I started run-walking and my first goal is to be able to run 10 minutes straight! I'm able to do 2 minutes so far, repeated 5 times after catching my breath.18 -
Being able to fit into one of the 7 winter coats I have. Only 40# to lose. No prob.

I am always doing mini goals! The one I'm currently on is losing 10 lbs by Christmas! Since we are staying home this year, I don't think that will be an issue with the eating.

19 November: 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.
The scale showed 75.9 kg this morning! Mind you, that was after I had rowed 16km (working up to a half marathon next Saturday). I'll see what it says tomorrow on my rest day, but I was very pleased indeed to see that number beginning with 75. (Also, 75.9 kg is 11 stone 13 lbs, so properly below 12 stone. And that is a weight loss of 28lbs = 2 stone.)

I'm waiting for the end of TOM and the consequent whoosh. I know that I weigh 244. The scale this morning said 248, and I know that's all water. (I can't zip my jeans, my abdomen is so bloated.) So if things go right (and I don't see why they won't!) at the end of the week I will have a whoosh back down to 244, and it will probably take me down around 243-242. That would be nice.8

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.
So I have met both of my previous goals today! I hit 11 stone 7 and 3/4!!! And I’ve still got a few days to go till the end of November. I’m super pleased and am looking forward to tackling the hardest month of the year for me food wise.... December!!9 -
I hit my first major goal today - 205 to 185. (215 before I started tracking macros). My mini goal is 180 by Dec 31 2020.
