What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

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.

Checking back in even though February isn’t completely over. I’m on track with maintaining my weight and even approaching that 85kg (although this morning was 86.5 😔 )and I’m starting to land my new workout routine. The snacking can be improved though, it’s been a long time since I had to contend with office food and colleagues who take breaks together three times per day. At least it’s mostly fruit, sandwiches and yoghurt rather than candy and baked goods.

Avg weight
Jan 86.3 kg
Feb 85.25 kg

Avg steps

I love mini goals! Mine is to lose 5 lbs by the time we go to a scandanavian spa for my birthday in a few weeks.

I will turn 35 this year, and according to my doctor, I have the body of a 39 year old. My birthday is in August, and my goal is to lose 50–40 lbs. I already lost 3.3 pounds this week. LET's GO!!!!

Mini goal right now is to get to Onederland! Haven't been there since 2009 and I'm at 203.6 this morning. It still somehow seems out of reach, but I can do this!! SW 256

Getting out of the 160’s into the 150’s by months end.

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.

Well, I did not make my goal. I weigh about the same as I was the last time I posted. So, I am repeating the goal.

As for the steps, I think there was only one day I didn't get 5,000. I am repeating that one as well. It will be harder this time around because I am going to be driving a car to work for the next couple weeks.

And to keep saying no to buying food or cookies/donuts/etc at the grocery store.

My mini goal is to be back in hiking shape (or close to it) for a trip in late April to hike the Triple Crown on the Appalachian Trail!

I would like to lose another 5-10 lbs by April 19. A friend invited me to a get-together that day, and I want to look great in the new pants I just bought today. (I can put them on, but they will look better with a few more pounds gone.)

Various goals that have finally grouped together to get my head in gear:

A cruise - not booked yet but we're definitely going to go on one

So many clothes that don't fit, but are only maybe 15 pounds away (including 13 pairs of trousers!!) I won't throw away anything for being too small, but I'll throw away things when they are too big for me 😊

Adult ballet class - which I am loving so much, but I know I will find it easier if there is a bit less of me.
Similarly, Parkrun (although I wouldn't say I love that, but it would be good if it felt easier to run)

And a long distance walking holiday, only 5 days, but it's something else that will be easier if/ when I'm lighter.

My next mini-goal will probably be to drop into the "overweight" range, my BMI is around 31 now, so just a couple kg to go.

Done! Normal weight here I come.
Food-wise I've been doing really well, but I haven't been walking as much as I would like, so that's what I'll focus on for the next couple of weeks. Will try to do 10k steps a day for a total of 100k by the end of the month.

My mini goal is to get rid of the fat at the base of my back! ... it's prooving to be a difficult task!

I haven't posted in here in months!! I'm super proud to have reached a level of Sustained "Overweight". This means despite what I eat.....or what my level of exercise.....Obesity has been permanently kicked to the curb!! 😀 I feel as though I have reached an exciting destination ☺️. I plan to journey thru this Overweight Valley for a couple of seasons. Until I reach the next level which is "Minimally Overweight". Yes, it's a proper medical term. I will reach the next level once I lose 21 pounds...although my goal is 24 pounds.

I know that for me, slow and steady has been working with gradually changing habits. My next Mini Goal is to continue with my steps......my Minimally Overweight goal is this October/November 2024. This is 3 pounds per month. I've found that for me, just a couple of pounds a month has resulted in PERMANENT weight loss. Stay the course every one!! I'll be posting mostly in NSV Victories now as my priorities change to my improved fitness level.

Fitting in the 5 pair of Levi's that have been gathering dust in my closet for the past two years.

Getting under 300. Dr. told me at my last check up, that I have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and Crohn's. Started the Specific Carbohydrate Diet to try and bring the Crohn's into remission, and hopefully heal my liver as well. A nice side effect is that I'm losing weight! (Started at 342, 328 now)

Halfway there! First posted this when I was 328, I'm now at 314. Under 300, here I come!

Keep up the great progress! Life's a journey, not a race 😊
