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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
