I got on the scale for the first time in 2 years last February and was shocked to discover I had gained 25 lbs in 2 years. My first mini goal is to lose that 25 lbs I gained. I have lost 13 lbs and have 12 more pounds to go.13

I am working on bringing my blood sugar down, since i started logging my food and walking at night after dinner my average has come down 22 points in two weeks! now i have added core strengthening and light weight lifting to boost my metabolism.
My next goal is to decrease my average another 20 points in two weeks.
long term goal is to get off diabetic meds13 -
I've lost 45 lbs so far in my goal to loose 100 pounds. I had to loose some of that twice. I have met one mini goal reduce Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. I went from severe to moderate on my MRI. I hope by my next MRI in June 2024 I will have mild or even none! My current mini goal is I want to loose 20 pounds so that I am just over weight on the BMI scale and not obese. That is my next bench mark. I know that sounds silly but I hate seeing that in my medical records.15

My goal is to retain what I have lost. I've lost 37 pounds, and I worry about Sunday. I am really hoping that I complete all the meal prep that must be done tomorrow. I almost have one page of groceries. Hopefully, I'll have enough cash to get everything. If not, I will have to wait until next Friday. Gotta get recommitted. I have 4 loaves of bread left. I hope they go fast, because they are the wrong type of 'grains'. I'll try to get Dave's Killer Bread in a couple of weeks. I hope I can freeze it because I will have so many servings in the deep freezer.
The things we do to make sure bellies are continuing weight loss. The Mediterranean Diet is a breeze, but it's majorly full of busy stuff. The reason I have to have so much variety, is because I get bored and fast; especially if I have the same stuff over and over.6 -
To stay in the 150’s solidly! For a bit!9

Just to recommence logging food again, being under calorie goal. Following a 3 day break have gained 3.8 lbs back! Ugh!8

Checking off the first part of this goal: I can now sit down in the chair, and get back up, without getting "stuck"
Still not the comfiest sitting experience, but I'm happy with my progress. 20 -
To get into ‘wonderland’. I’m a lb.or 2 from it. Very excited.13

I am setting mini goals in 10 pound increments. I am 1.5 pounds away from 250, going to buy some new colorful straps for my Fitbit. Next minigoal 240: Thinking about mani-pedi! (At least a pedi, my feet look like hobbit feet right now, argh. Want to be able to wear sandals without embarrassment!)6

I haven't been watching my intake as closely as I should have been lately, so I gained some weight back. I'm really hoping to loose it again before I have to go to the doctor next month and get frowned at.5

I forgot to mention my other mini-goal, which is to get below 260 lbs. I didn't think of it a as mini goal because I haven't been in that range in... oh I don't know, probably close to 10 years now. And it has seemed entirely, completely, utterly unachievable for all these years. But as of this morning I'm only 1.4 lbs away, and this time I'm going to get there. So now it is for sure a mini goal

Thank you I'm currently in the middle of a 921-page book 
but later for sure! (Although I get all my books from the library instead of buying them. I like that I don't have to decide what to do with the books when I'm done with them.) 5 -
This morning, for the first time in several years, I stepped on the scale and weighed below 200 lbs. I’ve been working towards this goal for the last 4 months. It was great to see that number on the scale. It’s very motivating, and reaffirming my commitment to losing weight. Whoo whoo!22

I lost some weight during a bout of illness (on the mend only a touch of remaining congestion), my first mini goal is to not gain the weight back. The second is to get below 235 for multiple days in a row. This morning 236.4

Congrats @Melwillbehealthy! Kudos on your commitment to your goal.2

Congrats @Melwillbehealthy !! Focus on "showing up" for now and staying under that 200 lbs. Once you show up every day, the rest will come.

To use free-weights at least once a week. (I did it this week but I want to make it a habit.)

For my calves to not be so fat and swelled (having horrid water retention right now) that my capris catch on them and get pushed up to my knees. It's just really annoying and feels like my pants are too tight when they fit fine everywhere else.4

My mini goal is not so mini. I just want to be able to get out of the house. My wife died from Covid in 2020 and I put on 112 pounds in 2021 while trying to cope. I was already 300 pounds before I started but I moved around pretty well for my size. Now it is a different story bouncing between 420 and 440 I cannot get up and down the steps on my porch. Now it has been over a year since I last left my house. So my mini goal is to lose enough to get out of the house.43

@johnc1959 welcome to MyFitnessPal, I hope you find kindness and support here like I have. (I'm pretty new too, I joined June 27.) I'm sorry to hear of the heartbreak you've been through over these past few years. It's good to have you here. I hope to see you around so we can celebrate your mini wins, and eventually the day you get to enjoy the outside world again. You can do it! One day at a time.13

@johnc1959 I can't even begin to imagine the depths of your pain....but I would like to help in some small way. Its just advice, but it may give you some perspective. You may benefit from reading a book called One Small Step Can Change Your Life...The Kaizen Way by Robert Mauro. He describes medically why change is hard and provides ideas for moving incredibly slowly. Never jump in full board...start with a plan of very small steps and STAY CONSISTENT. In other words, show up for yourself EVERY day. You'll give yourself purpose and a plan for your day.
May I suggest the following? Write down everything you eat...you need a true baseline. Then make very small changes. Substitute one beer or soda with a glass of water.....remove half a donut or ten chips from your regular snacking, etc. Very small changes.
For exercise, you want to get accustomed to blood flow again. That's all. While watching TV, during a commercial, stand up, arms at your sides, feet together, and TAP one foot forward and return, then the next. Concentrate on balance, and one at a time , tap each foot forward. This is a modified marching in place. If you need to hold on to a chair for support, do so. Continue tapping each foot forward for the duration of the commercials, then sit back down. When the next commercial break begins......stay seated. Put your hands on your shoulders. Again, alternate, lift one arm straight up then return to your shoulder...lift the other arm straight up, return to your shoulder. Continue lifting one arm straight up at a time for the duration of the set of commercials. Then enjoy your show. THAT IS ENOUGH FOR YOUR FIRST DAY. Eventually, when ready, alternate these two exercises during all commercials. Your brain will gradually equate commercials with movement. Then....as you get fitter....you'll graduate to combining the two moves. This is the Kaizen effect. Tiny changes gradually becoming habits that lead to big improvements. Soon enough....you'll graduate to taking one step during a commercial....then another. And we will ALL be here to cheer you on thru each mini goal...
Now your first mini goal....feel the blood flow in your legs and arms during a commercial break and be proud of yourself!16 -
