What Mini Goal is motivating you right now!

Getting my metabolism on track!!

I can now do these up, they are too tight to wear yet. Next goal is to be able to breathe in them 😆

to finally hit 154 and below only 10.2 lbs to go

My mini goal, once again, is to get back under 200 lbs. I made a short foray this summer, but relentless stress, uncertainty, and infernal heat finally got to me 🍨🐽🍦

No more… 6.5 lbs to go so hopefully I’m get there by the end of the month. This is the last time I’m doing this, for real.

I have been invited to a fancy do for work, it happens every year and is a lot of fun. None of the options I have wear are currently doing me any favours!

It’s worked out that a few days after that I’m doing a 12 mile trail race, haven’t run that far for ages, and now my brother is also doing it so can’t wimp out.

The goal for the next 6 weeks is to up the training and really dial in. High protein, good nutrition, no junk. It’s long enough to make a difference for both events. The dresses will look better and I can pretend like it’s not hurting going uphill 🤣

Update! After posting this, I had added that my goal was to get out of a BMI of 25. I really thought it would take one month to lose the couple of pounds that had put me into Marginally Overweight Category. I've been following the plan I set out for myself three weeks ago. Logging my calories and being aware of what I eat (not overeating or starving....but after years of retraining myself I naturally crave fresh fruit, natural textures and being hydrated). I am into my third week of my walking program and really enjoying it as well as doing yoga thru a You Tube instructor I love 3x a week. Not painful exercise.

Two weeks later....I have lost THREE pounds and I am now back at Normal weight with a BMI of 24.7 😀 I am now confident I can lose 10 pounds in time for the first week of December. I feel so good focusing on my nutrition and eating in such a healthy loving manner that I find the positive vibes make it easy to continue. I've never missed an exercise session as they are so "kind". I feel really good resuming my eating habits.

@wavybabygray Were you able to babystep your way into watching what you eat and taking a daily walk? If you begin with the simple goal of eating less and moving more, it may be slow at first but impossible for nothing positive to happen. 😇

I want to be under 300 lbs by the new year. I am currently 337.

This is my next mini goal too! I started at 260 and I'm down to 202… but the scale is at a standstill! Ugh! So close. I haven't been under 200lbs since 2015/2016 and it was brief! That's super cool of your brother though! New clothes make a world of difference.

Don't get discouraged if the bike "rubs you the wrong way". It takes you body a little while to acclimate to the seats on standard bicycles. It's a big reason people stop coming to spin classes. The discomfort should go away in a week or two. Best of luck!

I'm 11 pounds away from no longer being obese according to BMI. My weight loss has slowed down a lot in the last few months. I'd love to be there by the end of 2025. I think that would be a wonderful Christmas present to myself.

A friend and former work out partner of mine have reconnected recently. We both feel a need to improve our physiques and we decided to take self pics of our progress in 6 weeks and send them to each other. I'm male and she's female which adds a little extra motivation to wanna push hard and get in the best shape ever.

I've recently gained a few pounds back that I had lost. About 5lbs. I want to focus on losing that 5 lbs and then 3 more lbs that will take me from obese to overweight. So, my goal is to be 157lbs by Christmas. I'm ultimately trying to get to 140 lbs.

I've been doing MUCH better when it comes to dealing with stress in productive ways (rather than using food as a pacifier). Lately the stress has ramped way up again, and I'm finding that I'm not as stable as I thought I was: I've been going back to stress eating, and I'm not liking it.

So my mini goal is to build a new habit of consciously and specifically choosing a quick break (breathing exercises, listening to a song, stretching, going for a little walk, etc.) when I feel overwhelmed, instead of reaching for food.

To way 139 pounds when I get on the scale one week from today, 1 pound a week (at least) for now of loss is the goal. Current weight 140, overweight at 5'0" and my goal is somewhere between 120-122. I really just started pushing myself this week to exercise a little more. I was walking 4.6 trail miles but thought, "hmmmm, wonder if I could make it to the next trailhead with success" and I've done it three times since then, at 7.2 miles.
