5lb increments for me too!
Also, building up on my exercise bike! Just about managing 3 x 5 minute stints at 14 kph! Pathetic I know! 🤣11 -
Mini goal is one cute little dress that I am trying to wear. I bought few sizes less deliberately so I can feel good when it finally fits me.10

I do a lot of knee to elbow yoga poses and core exercises. I can't wait until I can actually get my knee and my elbow together consistently!4

I'm going more mini.
2lbs, and I'm 155. At that point I'm eating all of my maintenance calories for two weeks then going back to it. I usually break at 5lb marks. Part of my brain is getting impatient to get to that 150 since it's close, but I'm not skipping my break.
My brain is tired and taking breaks every so often has worked well for me to this point. No need to toss it out just because I'm close to a bigger milestone.
This is so smart!
I had a 5 lb a month goal, and I made the mistake of thinking that because I hit my goal halfway through last month I should just drop my end of month goal another five pounds. That just about derailed me. A break would have been much smarter. I didn't do it then - but I am doing it now.
Our brains and bodies really do need these breaks - more frequently the closer we get to our final goals it seems!
Thank you for the inspiration.9 -

1.8 of that 2lbs down - it's not all fat loss in 11 days (LOL) just my weight doing what it does and whoosing. That means basically I'm THISCLOSE and I'm... affirming to myself i'm going to take that break.
Because the temptation to go hard and get rid of that last 5lbs to healthy BMI is real and. Impatience is not how I'm doing this. Posting here means I'll stay accountable to it, darn it.10 -
My daughter will finally get to celebrate her college graduation at an actual ceremony. Heading to West Virginia University in May and I need to loose at least 15-20 lbs by then to look good for those photos which will last a lifetime. Already down 4 lbs.8

Short term goal - get to 165. That'll be 50 pounds lost.9

Focused on seeing 240. I've been bouncing between 244 and 247 for the last four months.9

Easter, I can remember feeling so big this time of year, after eating all winter and my skirt would not button. I dont want that this year!8

17 February - Down to 75kg (my goal weight) just after Christmas, for one weigh in, but I am back to 77kg at present. That's probably partly because I have changed my exercise pattern, but also I have not been logging. It's within my mintenance range but at the top and I want to be lighter. So I am starting logging again today, and would love to be back at 75 kg by Easter, and trending at 75kg as well.
2 March: Back down to 76kg as of this morning. We'll see where I am at Easter, but the trend is now in the right direction.
5 March: 75.5 kg this morning (much to my surprise). At this rate I might achieve trending somewhere in the 75.1-75.5kg range by Easter.
Today I weighed in at 74.5 kg, so below my goal weight. Monthly average for March currently 75.47 kg, I have effectively reached where I wanted to be by Easter nearly two weeks early. I am very happy about this!
Now to keep this and not have it just be a dip as it was before Christmas. But it feels good: my 7-day average as of today is 75.21 kg.

After spending 2 weeks in an ICU with Covid-19, I had a hard time standing on my feet. My first mini goal is to be able to do all the normal daily things and I think I'm very close to achieving it. My other goal is to feel healthy and confident for a huge exam I'm sitting in May. I don't even have anything to wear for the exam since I haven't bought formal clothes in a long time and nothing fits comfortably.23

I hit my last mini goal of running for 30 minutes and I'm pretty consistently doing that now. Next up is to run a 5k in that time. My pace is pretty slow at this point, but I've seen bits of improvement so I'm optimistic.10

Vacation in July! Want to wear my sundresses!5

That I have finally, after being stuck for over 2 months, dropped 25lbs. I am now at 150lbs. Not my goal weight but getting there. Let the journey continue!9

My next mini goal is to face the orthopedic surgeon on 4/14/21. He saw me back in July 2020 for consideration of double knee replacements. After weighing me, he stated that he would not touch me until I lost 100 lbs. As of today I have lost a total of 95 lbs. I KNOW I will reach my 100 lbs. goal by then. I'm hoping he tells me that I do not need the surgeries. I'm feeling better, walking better and do not want to be in a hospital with the pandemic still going on.13

I turn 40 in June and would like to feel better in summer clothes by then. The hope is to go to a cottage with another couple and I want to enjoy the body I'm in there.6

A pair of brand new jeans, whining that there’s not quite enough room for both of us in there.🙄😒 Do we really need to breath that much? They better fit by Friday!😅4
