Mini-Goals, anyone????



Recommended Posts

I have a mini-goal coming up for June 23! I hope by June 23rd that I am at 250lbs. I am going to my boyfriend's family reunion in San Diego and we are going to be at a beachside resort so I have to be bikini ready!!!! lol. I'm so looking forward to buying new clothes but I don't intend on shopping until the week before the trip! I hope to be able to fit a size 14 or 16 by then, lets see how this goes!!!

Anyone wanna share????

I love mini goals. In the beginning they were weight related but as I am such a slow loser I have changed tact. Now they are either size related or exercise related. This helps me stay focused on the positives and makes me 'feel' better.

So, my next mini goal is to get into a size 14 (UK) and wear them out... I have a pair of trousers in size 14 that do up, but not acceptable in public....lol.

My mini goals regarding exercise are in the bozing gym. Each time I go I try to do one more sit up, push up, 10 extra secs skipping etc. I have to say, my right jab is coming on lovely too...lol!!

Hey,

My son goes to a local boxing gym, he is nearly 11 and really enjoying it... doing really well and thinking about fighting. The training has really changed his lil body and he is soooo lean and trim and very strong considering he is so young and fairly small. I found out they did ladies sessions... at first I was worried that I was too fat and that the ladies that went were all Amazion -types...lol

Anyway about 6-7 weeks ago I persuaded a friend to come with me and to my surprise the ladies there were all shapes! There aren't that many of us in a session, but I like that. I have worked up to twice a week now and the best NSV for me is to be able to go, train like a demon and not ache like hell the next day. We do the same work out as the fellas, no slacking and plenty of sweat! The coach is the Welsh coach and he is amazing... I modify the stuff I can't do but still work the same muscle groups and get the same benefits. I really look forward to it now!!

That sounds pretty cool. My school is offering some kick boxing classes for free like the first week of summer so I may look into that and see if they offer boxing as well. I bet that is a really intense good workout!

I really love mini-goals, which is why I like to do the "What will you weigh" threads! :D My husbands family is having a family reunion Labor Day weekend and my hope is to be at my ultimate goal by then...:blink: but first things first, right now I want to get to 180 Lbs which will put me at 150 Lbs total lost.

This really makes it so much easire to do IMO - sepecially when you're like me and needed to lose well over 100 lbs (borderline 200)

Work it!!!

Mini-goals are a great motivator! My next goal is to lose ten more pounds so I can be "overweight" instead of "obese"!

My first goal is to get to twoterville, 299 which I weighed 7 years ago the year my dad passed, I was doing Atkins at the time. I gained 90 pounds in 7 years geesh.

Then I have a small goal after that and it is to weigh less than my husband and never pass him again. I think he is about 280, so thats a small second goal.

Then on to 250 which is significant to when I met my husband 11 years ago and then Onederland which brings me back 18 years to when I got pregnant with my oldest.

I know my "normal" weight is supposed to be like 125 at my height however getting to Onderland will be awesome and anything after that is just bonus IMO.

I set mini goals very often. I had one to be 229 before my trip to Miami (this past weekend) and I was 228 at take off on Thursday. My next mini goal is my for July where I want to be 200. I know that ambitious but it motivates me.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
