What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

my mini goal is to get down a shirt size by the end of the month. i know i can do it. i have a whole closet full of clothes i want to get into. Gastric surgery 3 years ago failed me. maybe i failed it. idk but i lost more before the surgery so i know i do it.

I just broke my leg on Thursday in a freak fall, hiking an easy trail so my current exercise is pilates 100 in bed every morning and hopping around on one leg with crutches - (you'd be surprised how hard that is).

Sorry to hear about your leg! I broke my ankle in May and the difficulty of getting around on crutches with one leg is what has motivated me to recommit to weight loss! Someone recommended this series to me to get my heart rate up when I couldn't do weightbearing exercise. It was surprisingly effective! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb3tiiw_sXk&t=1467s

Wow - those are some inspiring losses! Great job and keep it up!

My mini goal is to loose 10 pounds of the 30 I gained back. Last year I lost 51 pounds, but stress in coming back in to the office to work had me "back sliding" to my old ways. Therefore, I gained 3 pounds back. Get these 10 down and work on my next 10

Get back to pre Covid weight and wellness

Guys… I’m super excited and I need to tell someone…

When I closed my diary a few minutes ago, my 5 week projected weight was 199.5. I’ve not been under 200 lbs since before I got pregnant with my middle son. My middle son will be 18 in just over two weeks…

I’m stoked.

@jaded989 maybe what's needed is some change? Why don't you try adding something new to your workout? Something high-intensity to jump start your system?

Accomplished a Mini Goal last night as I finally ran a sub 28 minute 5K! (27:44)

I started running just over a year ago and for my first 5K I ran a 36:40. I got down to the 28 minute bracket and have been stuck there.

I guess the next goal is to get it down from 10 minutes from where I started and run a 26:40. That would be a Maxi Goal!

I split my goal into a "main" macro goal, a step goal and then mini goals to get closer to each step goals.
Currently looks like this:

Macro goal: Lose another 16.3 kg (~36 lbs) to reach a healthy BMI of 24
Step goal: Lose another 5.5 kg (~12 lbs) to reach a BMI of 27.5 that will put me in the middle of the overweight category

Mini goals for July (half way there!!):

• 300 000 steps in July (currently 138 000)
• Log 20 activities that are longer than 20 minutes
• 12 running activities
• Eat meals, not junk (read: chocolate), to re-establish a healthy eating pattern
• Focus on gratitude each day (makes me more positive and a better decisionmaker)

Oh, and also work on accountability for the mini goals, as well... uhm...life's too good and (smart) decision making is hard at times

Husband's bday is in August and I'm about 9 pounds from what I was when we got married. Working on hitting that by then.

My last goal was to get under 200 lbs, I achieved it about 2 months ago. I’m now about 193-195. My next goal is to be able to do a push-up or pull up for real.

Great job! This where I am at too. I'm at 192.6 at the moment. Strayed off the path for a couple weeks there. Gained a couple back but they fell off as soon as I started back up...likely water weight. Hope to be under 190 here in a couple weeks.

My weekly goal is to eat 5 mor more servings of veggies 5/7 days this week, to exercise 4/7 days this week and to go to sleep by 10:30 5/7 days this week.
My more long term goal is to lose 12 lbs in 12 weeks.

Getting back on the train... Hopefully for real this time (mental health is a nasty battle to fight).

Mini-Goals:
Weight goal: 255 lbs
Fitness goal: 10,000 steps/day 3x/week (on-days) with 5,000 steps/day 4x/week (off-days)
Intake goal: 7 consecutive days of being within 100 kcal +/- target

Met mini-goal for weight this morning. Next weight mini-goal will be 250 lbs. Hoping to meet the fitness goal this coming week (and the intake goal, but we'll see...)

Getting out of the 190's can't be my goal anymore because I just did it! I guess my next goal will be to tackle 185. My vegetable garden is producing now so I am aiming to have one meal a day almost entirely produced out of my land (eggs count). Granted I can't produce salt and olive oil but I can do what I can do. Trying to save us some money and eat healthier.

Fastening a shirt or pants easily, without struggling when I previously couldn't wear them, is a huge motivation. Other people may not even notice. But I sure can see it, and that teeny tiny milestone is enough to help me stay motivated.

My current goal is to get (and stay) below 190.
