"What's up first goal? How you doin?" - What should be my next one?
Well, I am stoked! I hit my first goal of 249 this morning. (Um... )
I walked into the hospital last night - to see my friend who had her baby. Her mother, who I have known since I was 15, didn't even recognize me. Well, that is what she said. lol. It was really cool to hear. But I don't think I am at that point just yet.
But when I started this whole thing I was on WW and my idea of my first goal came from when my points would go down. So from 270 to 249. Now I am calorie counting and wondering what you guys think my next goal should be.
I don't want to make it wicked low - because I worked my rump off to get to this point - but I don't want to make it too high to get discouraged.
So, advice p-p-pleasssse!?
woot. woot.
EDIT: OKAY - so thank you to everyone for my advice. I think I am gonna rock the 10% one first (Thank you Beth!) and once that is done and over with - go back to my twenty pound markers.
I did this weight loss simulator and 220 is looking way good. What a difference!

I can't say what is too much or too little for you, but I can say what I do:
Okay, I have stages of Mini-goals:
There are large mini-goals (10% at a time, which I always work towards)
There are medium mini-goals (5 pounds at a time, so I earn my 5lb stars)
Mini-mini-goals: This includes drinking my water, eating within my points, exercising... all that good stuff.

I used to shoot for each 10 pounds. I've sorta shifted to each "decade" (180s, 170s, 160s, etc) because it's more obvious. But I'm still excited by each 10 pounds. For example, I'm already into the 150s (158-159), but I am just dying to hit 157 just to make 40 pounds official.

Wow!!!
That's great.
I think if you liked the 20lbs marker last time, stick to it again.

Mabye 243, which would be 10% lost of your starting weight...only 6 pounds to go!
And then 229....15% lost!

I always say a jeans size. Because when you reach the goal, the reward is that much sweeter because obviously you need a cute new pair of jeans.

Congrats!
I've been basing my mini-goals off the next BMI point. For me, it's roughly 6 pounds. It helps to see that I'm only "4" away from 50 pounds. Intermediate goals are 25 pounds. Then the BIGGIE. :P
