What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

Better sleep and feeling rested in the morning!

Starting weight Aug 01 2023 181lbs
Current weight 167lbs

I'm 5'7" tall and my goal weight is 150lbs + or- 5lbs.

17lbs to go with a goal of 1 -2 lbs per week.

I have quit drinking all forms of alcohol. Best decision I have ever made.
Counting my calories and keeping them max 1500 per day.
Joined a gym and am lifting 3x per week.
Walking the dog 5k 4x per week.

The first 14lbs fell off rather quickly. It has slowed a bit but I know that is normal for me and doesn't concern me one bit and it will be slow and steady now.

cheers!

I went for a walk to do some errands in my neighbourhood today. It was very hot out, though fortunately not humid, and I really struggled with the few uphill blocks and had to stop and rest (I use a rollator walker with a seat, so was able to sit down). I was a little surprised by the difficulty because the scale has been moving downward and I’m.feeling a bit lighter. But the experience made me think how much easier that walk will get with another ten pounds off - or hopefully even five. Instead of feeling discouraged, I unexpectedly felt motivated. It’s because the weighing and portion control and exercise are actually producing tangible results.

Isn't it crazy the things that motivate us?

Yes! Two months ago, I would have just felt demoralized as I dragged myself home. I’ve always been one of those people who says, “Oh, yeah, I should do X” for that different outcome and then just doesn’t do it. So this is like a totally different mindset. Kinda cool. Hope it lasts.

6.8 lbs down out of my first goal of 10 lbs in 14 days!!! Just drinking 2 litres of water and doing 10,000 steps with a sensible protein high diet

My second goal is to fit into my work trousers without struggling to close the clasp and zipper I think losing another 7 lbs should help greatly

Getting to my-5lb mini goal. That I set out to do. Since april 12th of this year. It's been a slow process.
Have 1.4 more Lbs to go. Idk how long that'll take.Started out at 140.3 and now 136.4.

I made it to mini GW of 135 and now i'm below that.

I'm 133.7lbs, I'm onto goal of losing 5 pounds more. For a weight of 128.7lbs : ).

Remember everyone to stay patient and be discipline. Hold what you learn along the way. like me taking note.. that protein isn't the only filling macro nutrient... Fat do wonders as well. When I increase my fat intake and eating more beans(fiber) with meat. It help me to stay satisfied longer. I hit my weightloss goal more often. Than what I've done in years.

Finish out this week strong with protein/calorie/exercise goals knowing I may not see a loss this week due to starting it with a challenging weekend of traveling. Training myself to keep bouncing back.

@spirittrail So wonderful and inspiring!

I am SO grateful for your kind support Murphs Mom!! I have started a walking group that begins TODAY . It's my first time! I've called it Fifty Days to Fright Night and over 6 weeks it will take us from Couch to 2.5 hrs of walking per week. I actually do it myself every Fall and it has become a regular part of my lifestyle because it's FUN. I believe it's under Social groups as it's definitely NOT a Challenge! Too much pressure with that word!! It's a fun and easy Beginners Walking Program that starts today with just a go at your own pace 10 minute walk every day this week. Over the next 6 weeks leading to Halloween, we gradually increase the time. The first goal is 70 minutes this week.....10 minutes per day. I invite you and anyone else to check it out who would like to begin a non threatening daily walking program in a supportive environment.
If anyone would like me to link it in here I will do so. Have a healthy week!
