My mini goals are based on BMI. I used this calculator:

because in the results it displays a bar with the "zones" of weight in. So I basically calculated the halfway points to each landmark BMI. So for example, here are my mini goals:
Starting weight: 193 lbs - Obese BMI
183 lbs - Halfway to Obese/Overweight BMI
180 lbs - Obese/Overweight BMI - No longer obese
165 lbs - Halfway to Overweight/Healthy BMI
150 lbs - Overweight/Healthy BMI
140 lbs - Halfway to Healthy BMI
130 lbs - Healthy BMI and at goal weight.
Other mini goals can be personal. For instance one of my mini goals is to be lighter than my boyfriend, which would mean being less than 150 lbs. Other people say high school weight, but I think that's a bit unrealistic since you're still growing in high school so it's not very accurate.
Another mini goal of mine is to compete in a 10k race. I also have a training programme and I calculated the total number of miles I would be running leading up to the race, added the 10k race distance itself and made the Ticker in my signature.
Other people like to complete a programme too as a mini goal - such as Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred.
