I had a "mini" goal to be 175 by the 30th of April for a race and I did it! YAY! My next mini goal is to be 163lbs because that will put me back to pre-pregnancy weight (my daughter is almost 7!) LOL

I have two very mini goals, but I gained 2lb last week (I was on holiday), so I've only just re-lost that 2lb and am back to square one. I'm 191lb again now.

1st mini goal = 189lb which is my pre-baby (she is 7 now), and wedding day weight. I wanted this for easter and missed, but REALLY want it for our friend's wedding this coming saturday.

2nd mini goal = 187lb which puts me at 1lb below my husband's weight for the first time ever (woooo), and I just want to get to that as soon as I can. Although in his defense he is 6ft4, and I'm only 5ft8!!

3rd mini goal = 181lb which takes me to the weight i was the day my husband and I moved in together 11 years ago, ah to be 20 again!

[TEXAS DIVA 10]

WOW! you guys have given me MOTIVATION.. i have been setting mini goals but i havent always reached them. I, too, am a slow loser. I am six weeks post op and not down the 30lbs that i wanted to be at this point. My next mini goal is to be 200lbs by Friday, 5-20-2011. Only thing is I should be PMSing soon and that always adds about 3lbs. Today, I am 204 (down 23lbs). so, 10 days for 4 pounds weight loss, considering that time of the month coming up, should be reasonable. Also, can anyone recommend the a GREAT AND ACCURATE scale? That "health o meter" scale from Walmart is a TRIP!

[LilMissDiva Irene 3,281]

You're right! Health O Meter always would be crazy for me. I'd step on and it would give me a weight, then right after step on again it would be +/- 5 Lbs!!

I use Taylor and it works excellent. It's always right on with my Drs office. I've also heard a lot of good things about the Weight Watchers scales. Of course you can never go wrong with the Detecto scales too.

[Eureka-C 20]

I have had several mini-goals.

1. 250 lbs- done

2. 75 lbs or 50% to goal - done

3. 225 marriage weight - done

4. Size 16 - when I graduated hs

5. 199 - onederland

6. Size 12 when I last felt thin

7. Size 10 the smallest I have ever been

I need to look up my obese to overweight and my overweight to normal numbers and add them in.

Love this topic btw.

[Candace2314 117]

I hate the health o meter scale!!! Its a piece of crap. lol.

[Lanette 124]

I've been scared to set too many because I didn't know how quickly I would lose. However in the back of my mind, I always wanted to be in Onederland by July 4th or at the latest July 23rd for my son's birthday party (backyard pool party). I am at 225 today, so that would be 26lb in 8 weeks. Not sure if I will hit it, but at least it's within reach! I joined my first "what will you weigh" challenge on here for the July 4th challenge so I guess it is my first "official" goal. My 'true' first goal was to weigh less than my husband but I never told him that. I have already hit that one.

[Roseib 13]

My mini goal is to weigh 225 by June 29, one year out. I'm only weighing once a month now, so don't now how close to that I am. Hopefully have taken off some weight since the day before Easter. Btw, that will be only 15 pounds away from what my surgeon thought would be a reasonable end weight for me having started at 385.5. I plan to go way beyond that no matter how long it takes.

[MRSKOUBiK 27]

I absolutely love MINI goals. I actually just suggested to my support group last night , that BEFORE surgery you should sit down and come up with a list because after surgery things can happen so rapidly that things may pass you by.

Some mini goals I've had is to weigh less than my husband, then my brother (I've always been the BIG big sister! ) Most recently it was to lose 2 pounds because those suckers wouldn't leave.... they finally did and brought me to a 100 pound loss.

Uhm, next goal is to fit into a 16. I can't wait.

After that it's a 14, then ONDERLAND! CAnt wait

Not to be a downer at all, but I am 250 lbs and NOWHERE NEAR a size 14/16, more like a 22! I think your mini-goal idea is awesome though, I may need to steal it!

[Candace2314 117]

I'm very top heavy lol. I'm in 18's now and they are pretty loose so I hope I can get into a 14/16
