Hi everyone -

I'm finally down another pound and it is so very exciting!

I know a lot of us have mini goals and I was interested in what they are and how realistic our goals actually are....

My goal is down under 160 by the end of the year!

I'm going to find this thread at the new year (if not sooner - wish wish - work work) to update that I made it. How about you?!?!?!?

Mine would be to get out off the 50s and down to 249 by new years....I want to make that doctors scale go back a notch
Good luck on your goal!!!!!!
take care

We can do this Maggie!

I just lost another lb, too, which broke a barrier I've had for over a year. I'm shooting to be below 140 by Christmas. I think I got down to 140 in January 2000, so that's my mini-goal. That was the lowest I had been in probably 5 yrs.

That's a good point, Maggie, not having to move that big hunk of lead over that vast expanse from 100 to 150 is psychologically gratifying!


WE CAN DO THIS!!

My mini goal is 185...

It would change my whole attitude about this year!! Since APRIL I have been on Atkins...you would think I'd be down 40 pounds by now, but I'm STILL working on the original 10. I lost 6, gained 3, lost 1, etc.

As of 10 days ago, I was 200. As of this morning, almost 190. All I want to see is something BELOW 187 because that was the lowest I saw since I started. I can't seem to break through that "setting" on my body. I know once I push through this place on the scale, I should be on my way.

Please, please, please...

My have two mini goals:

1. Don't take my stress and aggrevations out on food. Eating won't make me feel better

2. Don't live by the numbers on the scale - they are just numbers.

If I can accomplish these two mini goals the rest will be easy.

My mini-goal is to fit into some of my nice clothes that are currently in storage under the bed so I can wear them to my Christmas trip to Las Vegas.

My second goal is while on the trip, not to cheat, gain and no longer fit into the clothes I brought with me

My mini goal is to have visible tricep muscles. They are there now, but I have to flex.

Not sure how realistic this is; my body tends to change dramatically then hold for a while every 6 weeks. I have 8 weeks 'til the possible-strapless-New-Years-Ball and I'm going to give it my all.

Well, sinsce I'm so darn close, I'd have to say that passing the 100lbs lost milestone is my next mini goal.

Light a candle and say a little prayer for me...

Well with my health problems my MINI-GOAL is to drop to 165 by December 27th. I have a wedding on December 28th.

is to be below 250 pounds by New Year's Day!

I would like to see 160 by New Years day.

My mini-goal was going to be 180 by xmas... but now that I'm doing BFL, I'm not so sure how the numbers on the scale are going to be changing (said 197 this morning.. first time I've weighed all week), SO I've switched my goal to be a size 14 by xmas!!!!! Yeay!!!

Nat, strapless New Year's is awaiting you. Visible triceps *sigh* I can only dream about it. I carry a lot of weight in my arms... but I can already feel the muscle gaining underneath the flub... and I'm only 2 weeks into Challenge 1... I figure by the time I've been at it as long as you have, I might start allowing myself to dream about triceps! (Do you have the dress already????)

To lose 2lbs more by beginning December.
Then not worrying about putting them back on because of parties and Xmas. Food is not a problem but if you think I'm partying with no booze !!

Cheers

*lol* Kate, I've had this outfit for months and months. It's a long skirt w/ a tiny little chemise - both in black taffeta. The skirt is a bit big, but I'm thinking it can be taken in, the chemise is a little tight but should fit (or need to be taken in) in 8 weeks. Goining sleeveless has long been a goal of mine, it's taken a long time, but it's worth the effort.

How about a measurement's mini goal instead of a scale one? Afterall, the scale is evil, right?
