This Week's Mini Goal



Recommended Posts

I need some accountability on this so I thought maybe we could have a thread for mini goals. I know Friday is a weird day to start a weekly goal but since mine is weight related and I weigh on Friday.....you get the picture. Please feel free to add any short term goals you have to this. Let's see what kind of fun we can have. It doesn't have to be weight related though I think many of ours will be. It could be excercise, removing a food from your diet, eating healthier, getting off a pill, fitting into a new piece of clothing. Come on, let's see what we can do!

Mine is to lose 4 pounds between today and my doctor's appointment on Tuesday morning.

Something I've learned when it comes to losing that extra weight and getting healthy is that -- there is never a better time to start than NOW! So many times I would say, oh, I'll start doing this or that on Monday. Funny how it would be on the Wednesday or Thursday before. That was a good four or five days wasted!

Anyway, this is a great idea! So let me see, what can I do?

Ok, starting today I have a goal of being able to actually wear this pair of size 18's Misses from Wal-Mart (made small of course :thumbup:). I can button and zip up, but they are still a bit too tight around the thighs for me to comfortably wear. I am maybe a good week away from being able to fit them nicely if I work very hard at it. So I say I can wear them out by next weekend.

Go me! And as always, I wish you all the very best!!

Hehe- Lady Ezma. Was funny to hear you say that hear. Ezma is the name of my character on my online games. One of them is based on Camelot so I was called Lady Ezma a lot there. :biggrin2:

My mini goal isn't for this week, but for this month. By the end of June, I want to be down (at least) 11 more lbs for a total of 75 lbs lost. I've been on a plateau for the last couple of weeks but I finally broke it and lost 2 lbs in the last 3 days. Hopefully it keeps going down, down, down.

Great topic.

Actually I have three mini goals for this week:

1. Move the scales downwards - see signature line for reason for that one!

2. To do one bodypump workout and one bodycombat workout as I am not playing netball at the moment.

3. I will try not to eat so many nuts!

Mixing up the exercise might be the key to breaking this plateau.

Good luck to everyone!

I'm getting an award next Wednesday at work, and I have been dying to fit into this little (size 18 - little for me) dress. It now zips, but is a little snug. I'm just dying to fit into it by next Wednesday. And...as a back up plan, if I can't wear it then, then I'm aiming for July 4th.

Wishing you all good luck on your short term goals. So....GOOD LUCK guys!

I didn't make my last one but I was off on my calculation. I only ended up 1 pound short. My new goal is to stay sane and not spend too much before my revision.

I am going to Detroit to see my family next weekend. This have been playing with the same 3 lbs for the last week. My goal is to exersise and lose 3 lbs by next Saturday when I leave.

Also, my DH works for Nike, and he bought me a pair of capris that I wanted. They are way too tight. They are an XL, but in misses, so the cut is different. My goal is to be in those capris by the end of July.

Good luck everyone!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
