I hit my last mini goal of losing half my body weight (225 pounds) today, so it’s on to the next one, which isn’t really a mini goal, it’s actually a Major goal, but it’s mini in size, so I’m going to count it 😁. I need to get down to 209 to qualify with my plastic surgeon to start the process of getting prior authorization for a panniculectomy. I’ve qualified with my insurance for years, but my surgeon wants 16 more pounds. I think I can manage that by Christmas at the latest! What a great Christmas present to myself!29

Congrats! I'm interested in how you feel overall. Do you notice a drastic improvement in your joints or back? This is an area I have a lot of pain in.5 -
Wow, so many motivating and inspirational success stories!! I'm back in to lose what I gained...I was so close to my weight goal...It's ok, I can do it again, 1lb at a time!!
I mostly want to feel good again, less joint pain caused by inflammation and pressure etc... Good luck to all!10 -
My mini goal right now is really simple: Get down into the 270's. I'm just about 1.5 lbs away from that. I should hit it next week, hopefully.13

I'm looking forward to being able to do 10 push-ups in a row. I can do 7 now and then I break, and 10 is my next mini goal.16

The first digit of my weight should change in a week or so, and soon I'll be 90% the man I used to be. Still early days, but progress!26

Get down to 109kg by my birthday, then eat a kilo worth of treats :-)8

Changing my eating and exercise habits before gastric bypass.16

I want to fit into my work out clothes again! I put on the shorts recently to wear underneath a skirt and they might as well have been underwear.11

Getting under 210!11

I'm aiming to get to 212. That's the weight I was when I stopped logging and my life fell apart 7 years ago. I'm currently at 230, hoping to make it by end of year. I'll still have many pounds to go, but first I need to get back to where I once was22

To get below 92kgs. i plateaued for a month and then eventually got frustrated and gave up. went to 94 in the next 15-20 days. Finally reeling it back in. Not seeing success on scale sometimes gets into your head. Especially if you're trying hard.11

My current mini goal is to lose 1 pound, which will put me at 135 (and 80 pounds lost), the lowest I've been since I began this weight loss journey in July of 2020. After that, my next goal will be an additional 2 pounds, which will put me at my goal weight of 133. At that point, I will re-assess and consider a possible change in goal weight. I'm 5'3". My lowest adult weight that I recall was 120; that was 50 years ago. I will consult with my doctor.15

Absolutely! I started out with 3 pinched herniated disks in my back that were painful enough that I was physically dependent on OxyContin (luckily never got addicted), and had arthritis in my knees that made it hard to get up and walk around. Now, I almost never have back pain, and the only times my knees hurt are if I cross them in a half lotus for too long! All of the disks in my thoracic and lumbar spine are now herniated, but there isn’t nearly as much weight being held up by them, so they don’t hurt. And the arthritis in my knees had actually gotten worse, and I have to take glucosamine again (I AM 52!), but it doesn’t bother me as long as I take my supplement and keep active.
I hope you are able to get through your pain to a place where you at least don’t hurt as much.

I started out weighing 450 pounds, so that will be half of my body weight! A whole person! And a big one too! I’m going to buy myself a new dress to celebrate!

Wow - congratulations - somehow, in my mind, the math supports you buying yourself two new dresses!
I did, actually, end up buying two dresses, but one of them I bought online when I got to 225, and it hasn’t gotten here yet and I’ve already dropped a size and it will be too big! But my husband sent me shopping last night to get something that fit so I would have a Hell Yeah! outfit, and now I do. It’s under “Pictures Only”.

My goal has been to get to normal bmi before a physical at Mayo Clinic at the end of November. I am at 156.6 lbs today and am 5' 3". I need to be less than 140 lbs to have normal bmi. I just did the math, and I can't realistically do it. I will get closer, but I won't be "normal". I will not be discouraged though. Close is better than not close!16

My first mini-goal is to reach 170#'s.7

My mini goal is to eat when I am hungry. I do not know how a "normal" person eats. Does that sound weird to you?19
