I’ve had a really long period of stable weight, or just bouncing around the same few kgs. Then earlier this year the stability ended and I’m back up again. Two weeks ago I recommitted to my healthier habits, so my first mini goal is 95kgs. My weekly goal is also two gym sessions and to run home from work twice

Actually the scale at the gym says I’m 95.6 this morning. So goal one isn’t so far 😊

Staying within my macros has resulted in weight loss for three weeks in a row. I also look good in my clothes again.

My mini goal right now is to start dropping weight again. I have been able to lower my medication dosages for my diabetes and my heart condition, but playing with the meds also plays with my progress. I have actually put 5 pounds back on in the last few weeks.

Ten days ago I posted my next Mini Goal was to weigh 150 pounds. I DID IT! Thursday I walked up to the Community Centre.....it's been three weeks since my last weigh in. I now weigh 150.3 pounds. 😁

The most difficult process for me has been the psychological aspect of having a shrinking body. Having clothes that were once too tight not only FIT again.....but eventually become LOOSE has been a real mind bender. My weight at its highest was 188 pounds....and for several years I was up and down between the 170s and 180s. I remember my goal was 163 lbs FOREVER. My Marginally Overweight Category. In November of 2022 I weighed 184 and I realized I was tired of tap dancing thru the 80s and 70s. I decided to be REALLY patient and work on LONG TERM PERMANENT CHANGE. IT WORKED!! Thru just walking and yoga, I slowly toned up. The yoga gradually made me crave more healthy food and less processed food. The walks were meditative. I had learned that weight first came off from the hard fat surrounding your organs. Heart, liver, kidneys. So when the scale showed a few pounds....I celebrated my heart and other organs performance....rather than inches lost. I knew they would eventually come just like any other large project.

I drank lots of water....I increased my consumption of fruit and started reading labels. My increased fitness lead me to add more cardio. The end result is......RIGHT NOW......I'VE LOST 34 POUNDS IN 18 MONTHS. THE LAST TEN POUNDS CAME OFF IN SIX WEEKS. it seems to have been a "whoosh" effect as I suddenly stopped being able to tolerate sodium and anything processed. I crave food in its least processed state. I can't believe I ate a deli potato salad for lunch 3x a week just two years ago!!! 😩 OR that my favourite snack was Triscuit crackers covered in melted cheddar cheese 🧀 in the microwave!!
I ate them like nachos a few times a week....... 😩 My new snack is half a cup of unflavoured Greek yoghurt with a handful of fresh blueberries.

My next Mini Goal is a complete closet cleanout!! I reached for a nice pair of denim and a white button up blouse on Friday to wear around the city. Both size 10...my outfit was too big!! My husband confirmed when he got home....those look huge!! I KNOW IN MY HEART THAT THIS IS A PERMANENT WEIGHT LOSS . I'm going to maintain at 150 pounds.....or more specifically.....train myself to maintain at this weight. Ultimately.....next year......my goal is to lose the final 20 pounds. Then again.....if my body decides to continue losing the final 20 pounds on its own, that's fine too. 🙂 I'll patiently wait!!

There's an illustrative series on Pinterest titled....THATS AS MUCH AS. It lists various pounds lost....with an illustration of an object that weighs the equivalent. I've used it often over the last 18 months and as a Canadian.....I am INCREDIBLY PROUD TO SAY!!

I'VE LOST 34 POUNDS!!! THAT'S AS MUCH AS THE STANLEY CUP!! 😉♥️

My mini goal is to get back to the point I was when I posted my last mini goal--I've gained back 5, rather than lost 5. So losing those 5 again is my new mini-goal. And after that will be getting into onederland.

Putting a halt to my expanding gut. My PC chair is groaning under the strain and begging me to lose weight.

To get back into shape and lose the extra weight I put on. Kinda hard when the sweet tooth attacks

My mini goal is to get myself back on track -- I've been losing weight every month, but these past three months have been markedly slower than the six before that. And I can't afford to slow down!

A sub mini goal [...] is get 8 hours of actual sleep every night, consistently.

Well, that did not work out as planned. I lost exactly 0lbs 0oz in April 🤦🏻‍♀️ I did establish a new bedtime routine that actually worked quite well, but wasn't able to follow through for more than a few days due to factors out of my control. Having cleared those out of the way (I think), I'm nevertheless still exactly where I was in early April, so my goal remains the same: to address my sleep deficit, and start losing weight again. I'd like to lose 7 lbs this month.

I slept an additional 7 minutes a night in May, compared to April... not super impressive but at least I'm moving in the right direction. (Still only 7 hours per night, though... I guess at this rate it'll only take me another 9 months to reach 8 hours a night

)

And I lost 5 lbs, which falls short of the 7 lbs I was aiming for, but I'm actually happy with the loss. My mini goals for June are to further increase the amount of sleep I get, and (again) to lose 7 lbs.

Day 2 for me. I try to count proteins, carbs, and calories as I prepare my meal. My carbs are way high.😬 my goal for this week is to meal prep everything I can for the week, so I can watch those darn carbs.

What's wrong with carbs?

My mini goal: I bought the cutest dresses for work online. We know how that goes! I ordered my size, but they run small 🤦🏻‍♀️ my mini goal is to get into those dresses without having to wear uncomfortable shape wear.

Moijo02022 · June 6

My mini goal is to get down a clothing size before the middle of June so I fit back in my smaller size clothes I bought for this summer holidays, I’m half way there 😝

Dittmermo · June 6

Out running my kids

Lunasash · June 7

next goal: Below 230 lbs and then buying a pillow/cushion for my bath tub so I can do relaxing soaks after weights/running.

Boom! Today at the gym 94.9, so I guess the next goal is 90kgs! Really happy with the progress.

I’ve been doing well too with running twice a week and two gym sessions.

I've kind of stalled out. I've been bouncing around the same pound (difference in .6 of a pound) for the last 3 weigh ins. This week I'm determined to lose at least 1 whole pound. Gonna add at least 1 walk around the warehouse per shift. I'm determined!!

Moving down a notch on my belt. I have been using the same belt and have been punching new holes and trimming off the end as needed. It feels incredible each time I need to punch a new hole!

jennydowd · June 11

My first mini goal was 10% of my body weight. I did that, and the next goal was to get my BMI below 40.
A few days ago, I hit that goal, so my next mini goal is to reach the loss of 15% of my body weight. 4 pounds to go!
I have planned out a whole series of little goals over the course of this year. The little victories keep me motivated!

My first "medium" goal is to lose 50 pounds by 7 Sept for a big event. That milestone will also put me at 20% of my body weight lost. 33 down. 17 to go!

Athene_Sionnach · June 12

Mine is to get under 200. I'm about 10 away now. It's really my first goal since I'm still in the early stages of this journey (started at 217)

virgo1978 · June 12

Being able to use the belt that comes with dresses! There is no give to these belts and the notches are so far down the belt, it's a tight squeeze!
