What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

I have a monthly goal of 10lbs. Since beginning my journey at the beginning of the year, I have exceeded that goal every month!

Doing the None to Run program - all 12 weeks!! (Currently at the end of week 4.)

Getting out of the 150s!! I started at 194 lbs. on, 9/1/20; and, I am currently sitting at 152.8!! Not too impatient, but I'm looking forward to seeing 140 something!!😊😊

To not lose focus and keep progressing.

7 hours sleep every night

My new mini goal is to reach 82.6kg (182lbs). That is a BMI of 27 - which for my age group is considered to be in a healthy range already.

Just 6.4lbs to go!

somewhere relatively recent on this thread (I don't feel like looking). i had a mini -goal of sub225. I was 224.8lb this morning. next mini-goal is stick it for a few days or at least not be any heavier after vacation on the next week.

I am 1.6 pounds off from being my lowest weight in years!

I moved out of the family home 5 years ago, not sure what weight I started at but it skyrocketed to 168. I managed to get down to 145 the first year, but then complacency set in and the appeal of cooking no longer seemed exciting and we started eating more junk food. Over time it went back to 158, now I'm down to 146.6 since Christmas - so close!

My most recent mini goal was breaking 145. Monday morning I saw 144.5 so my next goal is breaking 140 and maintaining for awhile. I'm a 5'9" Female and did get down to 131 last year but I ended up binging for weeks so I figure maybe I can stay at 140 a bit easier. Increase my walking speed/length.

Have another 49lbs to lose, want to shift that at 1 or 2 lbs a week. Some weeks I lose 3lbs and one week after several weeks of struggling with my weight going up and down I managed to lose 7lbs in one week. I have managed to turn my struggling around and I'm not putting weight on anymore which I'm pleased and proud about!

I've struggled with my weight most of my adult life. I'm a lifetime Weight Watcher member, but that isn't enough by itself to keep the weight off. I recently read a book called "The Willpower Instinct." In it, the author talks about taking a "negative" and finding a way to turn it into a "positive." You know that feeling in the pit of your stomach that "tells" you you're hungry? In the past, whenever I had that feeling, I would HAVE to eat, and usually I would choose something unhealthy. Now, I imagine an army of "PacMan" ghosts, eating all my fat, and that "feeling" of hunger is the signal they are fast at work. I welcome them now, and wait until my scheduled time to eat. I lost over 35 pounds using that imaginary tool. Now, I've gained some of it back during Covid, so I turned to MyFitnessPal. Now, when I am accountable to write everything down, in an EASY way, the weight is melting off again. THANK YOU FITNESSPAL for creating such a wonderful program. It has truly made a difference.

My mini goal is to lose 20 pounds by mid June when I go on vacation.I have recently shifted my mindset so I am confident that I can achieve this.

4Lbs to go, until I am 137lbs. which is the lowest accurate weight. I remember being four years ago.
Btw, I am 27lbs down now : D.

This is probably not everyone's idea of what motivation should be, but for me it's all about being realistic and working out what works for you.

I've accepted the fact that Friday night takeaway is a treat that I could never give up entirely, as we've done it for so long now and see it as the start of our weekend.

I decide that my takeaway is a treat, and I have to earn treats, so I have to beat my targets before I can have my treat. I have to be under my weight target and over my exercise target before I can order


Sounds really simple, but I can honestly say that my weekly takeaway has become more of a fortnightly treat recently, but it's looking good for tonight as

Weight loss - done
Exercise - done

So my task for today is to work out which takeaway is the healthiest as I'll have to work it off if I want another one next week!
