To be able to run 30 minutes straight through without walking kwith a 10.30 minute/mile or better. This is my short term goal. My Long term goal @ this time, is to run the Mountain One Steel Rail Half Marathon in the Berkshires on October 9, 2022 and be at least 10 lbs. lighter by the time of my half Marathon Run.10

Would like to lose another 5-7lbs before a reunion May 20-21. Only 2lbs until I hit the 160's but would like to be comfortably in the mid 160's (well tbh wish I could be at goal, lol but that's still a bit far off).
Goal met, next mini goal is to maintain over the reunion weekend.10 -
I just reached my original goal weight of 145lbs. (BMI: 22.7) from 173 (BMI: 27.1). It took about 9.5 months. Yay!
Now that I'm here, I'm happy with my results, but would like to lose just a bit more around the middle and have a little bit more wiggle room for maintenance. In other words, if I go on vacation, eat "all da foods" and gain 5 pounds, I'll still be in a healthy weight range. The current plan is to keep going with the current eating plan to 140 (BMI: 21.9) and see what that look and feels like. That will put me right in the middle of the healthy BMI range.13 -
I just want to feel like I'm in control again. I have gone four days without going over my calorie limit and I feel in control for now. I hope I can keep it up, but I don't know if I can 15

Before a week long series of family visits, I want to lose one more pound to get down to the lower part of my maintenance range. That'll give me a little more cushion for eating all the family foods I don't get at home. It won't be the end of the world either way. If I gain, I know how to lose it. But, if I eat at a deficit for the next week or so, I'll go into the family gatherings in a stronger position to stay within my maintenance range.10

I love the mini-goals that are not weight related. Keep it up9 -
I wanted to lose 3kgs this month. Since this month is now half over I really need to get my butt into gear!6

I need to cut back on dinner portions so there are only enough leftovers for hubby's lunch.
This will open my lunch for fabulous salads...12 -
To get into the 150's, just over a pound to go.9

Dropping an obesity category. I didn't even know these existed until I came here but they seem like nice achievable goals, better than the midway point I arbitrarily set myself as a goal when I first joined. It's at 122 point something kg so I put it at 121,9kg because I can actually remember that and it's only 3,1kg away. Compared to the 13 I already lost, that seems very doable.
I don't actually remember the ones after this but I guess that's a good moment to re-evaluate my numbers once again.8 -
First ten lbs down!12

You've got this!!3

lol... Well, that mini-goal didn't last long!
I went about 2 weeks and decided I just needed a break from losing weight. I'm in a healthy BMI range, so I'm going to relax** for now. I increased my calories for maintenance and have been holding steady for about a month now at ~144. Instead, I'm just focusing on fitness. I'm trying to be more consistent with longer elliptical sessions (or walks/hikes), and include at least one day with intervals to try to increase my pace. I'm not super hard-core about it, but I just want to see where I can go with speed. I'm also doing some easy-ish weight training for muscle definition and strength. Again, just to see where this road takes me.
** To be clear, "relax" in my world just means I'm not trying to lose weight. I still weigh & log all my food. I still weigh myself every day. I just get to eat a little bit more now. And, with summer BBQs, pool parties, and frozen treats, I'd rather enjoy myself as I am now than worry about "not losing".12 -
I have two pairs of NWT jeans left in my closet to fit into that I purchased on sale a couple years ago when I was feeling hopeful.
One is a 16 skinny jeans and the other is a 14 skinny Jean. Not curvy cut or stretchy fabric just unforgiving tapered jeans. The 16s fastened up this morning but too unflattering to wear out so I need to lose a couple more pounds for them to fit properly.
The NSV here is a couple weeks ago they didn’t zip at all and… guys… there was a time I literally just bought the biggest size they had at Walmart and hoped I could get them on. That’s my mini-goal right now. Wear those jeans comfortably and I’m super close! 😀17 -
I brought this linen dress when the weather first got hot, perfect for work. Put it on and it gapped all of the buttons. I’ve had a rather rough scale week but somehow it gaps even less than it did the last time I tried it, so hopefully moving in the right direction!9

I bought a bathing suit two years ago at the end of the summer, my first ever bikini. But summer was over and I didn’t get to wear it. I have a trip planned with my sister in the middle of October and my goal is to be in that bathing suit!10
-
Fitting BACK into my jeans that fit only months ago! Dang it I allowed myself to indulge way to much due to stress and I’m paying the price. So Day 1 of being accountable again8

Get to a true size 12. Get to where I can do a push-up.6

I just want to prove myself wrong. That is the only current thing that has been keeping me moving in every sense. I just want to wake up one day look in the mirror and say " you were so unkind, and yet I still proved you wrong."14

I've got two: to drop some weight by Saturday for a gala event, I'm not too picky but 5lbs of water weight (I'm at the beginning of my keto diet) would be great! And the second and a more definite one, to lose 20lbs by the wedding I'm the best man at in early October. It's ambitious, but I feel more motivated by that then a small goal. Reach for the moon and if you fail, fall amongst the stars after all!9

I'm loving this thread! Read through a lot of pages.

To log consistently for the next three weeks - including a 5 days work trip and another week away from home.11
