Need to lose 20+ lbs to get back to my pre covid weight. I have a torn meniscus, torn in 2 places, this happened 8 yrs ago. When I am not overweight it doesn't hurt me much and sometimes not at all. After becoming inactive during covid and gaining this weight, the knee became pretty painful. So I'm working on getting back to where I was.

To lower my cholesterol and weigh less at my doctor's appointment in March than I did last November!

to see enough weight loss to know it's real not just scale fluctuations based on what I ate.

cheyennelevans · February 1

I hit my goal of 8lbs lost in January, now I need another 8lbs in February to keep the pace I want for myself. But my mini goal is to lose 3lbs to get me under 250

I'm the same, almost size 10.

To get in shape to go back to martial arts!

Well I want my average weight for February to be 85kg. That’s where I’ve been weighing in these first few days on the month.

However my main goal right now is to maintain while starting a new job with short notice. I will focus on sticking with workouts (reduced duration/intensity if needed) and steps (for days when I’m onsite). I will also be fuelling with carefully selected snacks , real food rather than treats work best for me. For now I will press pause on weight loss and consider maintaining my January average weight a success until 1 April.

Getting under 300. Have to stay away from guy next to me.

To get down below 200 for the first time in over 2 years.

My goal is to get off diabetes and other medications...

I had a heart attack on Jan 8, 2024 (I do not recommend it for your bucket list). After the angioplasty and two stents, they had trouble controlling my blood pressure. I was shocked to be told that I had diabetes and high cholesterol (had never been told that before!) and that I had heart damage from Kawasaki disease (high fever as an infant). I was given 10 different Rx which comes out to over 20 tablets a day at various times throughout the day. I want to retire someday and all these Rx will be an expense that might be hard to afford without health coverage. And of course I do not want another heart attack.

A friend told me about the books The Diabetes Code and The Obesity Code by Dr Jason Fung. About 18 months ago he was told he had diabetes and he was able to reverse the diagnosis by following the plan. I came out of the hospital 4 weeks ago and am down 9 lbs already.

I gained about 35 lbs over covid and need to get rid of that, and perhaps more. The 9 lbs gets me about 1/4 of the way already.

rbn_held · February 8

To get out of the 170's...currently weigh 176. (started at 206)

Fitgoal90 · February 9

Reached my last goal here and have dropped a few more lbs (ONEderland is awesome)!

Next mini-goal is to lose 12 more by May.

SW: 218.4
CW: 192.4
GW: 145.0

Arradel · February 9

Keeping my macros very close to avoid burnout on weight loss so exercise is not such a burden.

takinitalloff · February 9

I'm now solidly in "Onederland" (weight below 200 lbs). Very excited, and thinking about new goals. I decided to try out a new form of exercise for every 10 lbs I drop from now on. For the 200-190 lb interval, I will learn to swim front crawl ("freestyle"). I hope to take private lessons for this, as I wasn't able to find a class. Waiting to hear back from the instructor 🏊🏻‍♀️

My other goal is to move from the obesity II category into obesity I (my last stepping stone on the way to merely being overweight). Only a couple more pounds to go, so this truly is a very mini goal

RuthanneBowers · February 9

At the beginning of the year I had gotten down to 201 and I thought things were heading in the right direction. But the next time I got to use a scale (I don't own one so I only weigh when I go to my parent's), I had gained 6. I know that I had just gotten off a week of making a lot of bad food choices so I know that that was a factor. The next time I will be able to check the scale is at the beginning of March when I will be housesitting for my parents. All that to say, my mini goal is to be below 205.
My other mini goal is to have no days with less than 5,000 steps between now and then.

@PinUpDreamer926 Honestly, as a Canadian, I am overjoyed for you!! Health insurance is a huge benefit and great motivator. Although our country's health insurance isn't quite as amazing as it was when I was a child, growing up with it has lead to many long term health habits. From being taught proper dental care as children in schools....which lead to a lifetime of seeing the dentist twice a year. Ads on TV, radio and physical education in schools promoting regular exercise for health....so many of us literally grew up with exercise as a way of life...I believe our free health care system continues to provide us with long term responsibility, advocacy for our health so we know when to speak up if we sense a problem and whenever I have needed it, continues to be there for me. I would love for you to win six months of paid health insurance because the benefits will extend far beyond that and be life changing!! You've got this!!! Give it all you've got!! I'm SO EXCITED for you and cheering you on from The Great White North. 😀
