Mini-GoalsEven if you're not at goal yet, this is the place to share your successes and achievements along the way! Success can be measured in many ways besides the scales. Tell us about your triumphs, including Non Scale Victories
So my 'usual' weight is in the mid-130s and I have gradually crept to 150s, never above 156.
Sometimes, if I have emptied and have less water weight (I guess), I am in like 148-149, which I imagine is my "real weight". However, my mini goal is for my day-to-day inflated weight (water, undigested food, etc) to be LESS than 150. Its so frustrating! I want to see real loss.
It seems to be going slowly this time. I previously lost weight after being 150 but was a smoker at the time, which I think made it easier to manage hunger. I don't miss the addiction but must now lose all on my own.
So, mini-goal is to never be above 150, so to genuinely lose at least 4 lbs, no ifs ands or buts.
Eventually I would like to return to 130s as a realistic goal, and a dream goal would be to get down to the 120s (but I'm not too fussed)
Only for me it was to never have a 28 in front of my weight again. I maniacally stepped on the scale before breakfast, after breakfast, same for lunch, vowed not to eat or drink when it hit 279.8.... I took it a little far.
This is a mini goal of mine, too. I was so excited last week when the scale said 149.2 two days in a row! Unfortunately, since then it has read between 150-151, but I feel it getting closer! I never want to be in the 150s again!

I'm in the same problem as you! I'm right on that 148-151 range. Everytime I eat or drink something I am in the 150-151 range. Very frustrating because it seems that I can't stay under that for more then a day. I love your mini goal. And believe me you not alone in that goal!!
I sort of have a similar mini-goal, except that mine is to consistently weigh under 160. 160 is a scary, red-line weight for me and unfortunately i've surpassed it way too many days lately. I was consistently in the 150s for a few weeks but then after a binge weekend last weekend, i spent a couple days at 160. I'm now back in the high 150s and plan to not have a binge or cheat day again until i'm SAFELY in the 150s...meaning like mid 150s.
Hi everyone. I weight 208 and my mini goal is 180, and I would be happy when I get to my ultimate goal, which is 160.
Okay. I started WW, as I have been on before, but it seem like it just wasn't doing it for me, so I started counting calories. I read some place for my weight, age (58), and height, that 1400 calories was the amount I should eat. I started at almost 212 pounds so it has been working, but it seem like 1400 was a lot of food. Yesterday I started 1200 calories. What do you calorie counters think?
OH! I just started the Leslie Sansone walking tape. (I love her video tapes)

Stayed under 150 all weekend and I think I'm in the safe zone weighing in at 147.6!! Feels awesome not to see that dreaded 150 again and again. I just have to remind myself of how I feel right now so I have the motivation never to see that number again. 22.6lbs to go!!
Sorry to hear you will be leaving our beautiful Savannah area. I only live 55 miles from there. When I look at the news from there and all the crime they are having, I can understand it. Good luck to all you gals on staying less than 150 lbs. consistantly. I want to get in the 160's and stay there.
