I need to just lose 1.5lb by next Monday to have lost 10lb in my first 4 weeks, I would be down to 170 from 180. I am hoping to lose 10lb a month for the foreseeable until I get back to whatever seems a healthy weight and size. I was 142 and a size 4 when my 11 yr old was diagnosed with cancer and then I was diagnosed 6 months after him, we are both fully recovered, but I had a long recovery and Covid and as a result was very sedentary and put on the weight. But I am feeling very positive and hopeful right now, so hoping I can meet my first goal.19

Putting in here in black and white to help keep me accountable. I want to stick to my plan for the rest of April and hopefully that commitment will see me drop down to 90kgs (.5kgs a week seems an okay target). I was around 90kgs last year before I got the flu and then moved so it will be nice to keep tracking on!9

I'm within 10 lbs of being -100 from my max (which was last summer).13

I have 5 weddings coming up and i started buying some dresses for each event. I purchased 2 dress that are low back/ backless style, and i want to feel confident when I wear them. I’m back down to my 100lb weight loss, but would love to lose another 7 to 10lbs!!12

My mini goal is to stay in my calorie deficit for 2 weeks. I have tried a bunch of times to start but was looking to far ahead and then I crash and burn. I want to see what results 2 weeks will bring if I just stick to it, then I can reaccess from there. No added sugar, 1 carb a day, 10,000 steps a day, 3 water bottles and NO snacking after 7:00pm.11

My mini goal is to do strength training twice a week and to include vegetables or fruit with every meal. I’ll see how things are looking a month from now and go from there. Hoping to lose a solid 3 lbs in the next month and a half. Slowly but surely!12

I'm just three days away from logging in my food and exercise for 90 straight days!! 😀 I started about 4 months ago but broke the chain. I decided to set a goal of logging for 90 days and it's basically here. Now it's a habit so I plan to keep going.11

1. Continue to be as active as I can be each day. I'm tired of slowly killing myself just by sitting around all day. Health issues be darned! I'm gonna do it! Even if it's as little as 20 minutes a day, it's a good start.
2. Keep to my calorie goals. I log each and every single thing that goes into my mouth, even if it's a "cheat" or bad for me. It's a struggle after a lifetime of binge eating which got me in this shape in the first place, but it's worth it.
3. Keeping my blood sugar in balance. I went for so long not caring that I've wound up with so many diabetic complications, and I'm hoping all of this ends up helping to reduce further damage. Maybe if I'm lucky it can even minorly reverse some of it. Thankfully for the past couple of weeks now I've been staying right within my goals of keeping my glucose under 120 mg/dl, with bedtime and fasting usually under 100 mg/dl.
4. Mini-weight goal is to get under 300 by my next NP visit in April.
I actually did my mini weight goal! I weighed in at 297 pounds at my three month follow up! Also, my A1c dropped from 6.7% in January to 4.9% in April! All my other results look good too other than obviously bad cholesterol is not quite as low as it should be for a diabetic, my triglycerides are still high but much lower than before (from over 300 down to 203) and my good cholesterol is still a little low. But I'm happy I'm finally on the right track!
NOW my next mini weight goal is to get down below 280, which will be the lowest weight I've been since... heck. My early teens lol. hopefully I'll be at or past it by July which is my next lab/follow up date.16 -
My mini goal is to be able to do a 5k in Detroit on June 10th

I would like this week to stick to my meal plan for 4 of 7 days! I've got dinners prepped already, and sticking to my breakfast and lunches are generally no problem. I struggle with snacks - particularly when I misjudge what time dinner will be. Some days, no matter how hard I try, I lose my brain in the late afternoon. So my mini-goal this week is to a gentle stretch. Definitely doable but will still take some effort. Have a great week, everyone!8

I hit my second mini goal today, so now its tike to move onto the third one!
Starting at the beginning of the year:

That's entirely possible...I should take another look at my breakout, and see if I can rearrange. Thanks, @JessiBelleW!!!!

sleep...that's 'all'...
Without it I will most likely crave 'junky' foods; be grouchy; be stressed; have no patience and workouts are so not fun...8 -
My mini goal is to make it to 122 days of posting nutrition and exercise. Im at 97 days as of this morning 🌄. A completely new experience for me! One third of the year committed to an exercise and nutrition program..... My improvements in such a short time have shocked me! Three dress sizes down....vast increase in fitness levels....cravings for sugar and salt completely gone.9

My next goal is to reach a 22 BMI which would be 126 lbs. That, I think, will be my final goal weight, plus or minus a couple of pounds.
Today I saw 126 on the scale for the first time! I said that would be my final goal weight but I am changing this to a range of 125 plus or minus 3 lbs.
Before I start increasing my calories to maintenance I want to see that I am at this 126 or less consistently just to make sure it's not a fluke. I have only seen this number on the scale once and I could just be at a low water point.
Also, I want to be able to fit into my size 6 jeans comfortably and be able to wear them all day in comfort. (Currently I can zip and button them, but not sure I could wear them all day) So that is my next mini-goal. And it is also the point I will increase my calories to maintenance.

My mini goal is just to track my food every day this week. I keep having to restart my journey at the beginning. I’ll be consistent for a few weeks and then decide I don’t need to track and I regain the few pounds that I lost. So my goal is just to stick with it all week. No giving up.11

On Wednesday I was able to actually wear the size 6 jeans! I wore them most
of the day comfortably the whole time. This pair of jeans will continue to be my gauge for maintenance. If they start to get too tight, I will know I need to cut back on my calories.
And...yesterday I saw 124.7 on the scale. I have reached my goal weight of 125. It will actually be a range of 125 lbs plus or minus 3 lbs.
I have lost 115 lbs over the last 22 months. When I started I wasn't sure what my final goal weight would be but I think I am finally there
I am declaring myself officially in maintenance!

Six weeks after spending three weeks traveling through five countries in Europe, I'm back to the weight I was on the day my husband and I left for the trip. I decided I wasn't going to stress out about trying to micromanage my meals and just enjoy the trip. I'm proud that I was able to immediately return to my pre-trip routine and get the vacation weight back off without stressing over it.17

I have a total of 37 pounds to lose and I want to lose 10lbs by July 4th.5

In August I'm moving to the US to be with my boyfriend of almost 4 years. We got together just before the pandemic and haven't actually met in person. So the trip will be exciting for so many reasons. We both need to lose weight, so I wanna be both a better person when I get there and most importantly I want to be able to lead better by example than if he just watches me chug down soda and snack all day. He loves me just as I am, but the trip is still a massive motivation.12

1. I am actively working towards understanding macros a smidge more than I do now. ( Confused beginner with a heavy veggie lifestyle. )
2. Continue to tweak choices for going dairy free.
3. See more of my cheekbones and cleft chin. WHOOP!5 -
