Magic Numbers
I "borrowed" this idea from the 100+ boards. Once I put my list of "magic numbers" together I found I had many mini-goals I can aspire to throughout the journey.
What are YOUR "magic numbers"? Here are mine: achieved:315 - highest weight ever recorded 299 - out of the 3's (8/29/07) 290 - down 25 pounds, a milestone where i tend to sabotage myself and never get past (11/7/07) 284 - 1st 10% goal (11/21/07) still working on: 265 - down 50 pounds 256 - 2nd 10% goal 244 - no longer "morbidly obese", just "obese" 240 - down 75 pounds and HALFWAY there! 231 - 3rd 10% goal 215 - down 100 pounds 208 - 4th 10% goal, also no longer "obese", just "overweight" 199 - ONEderland 190 - down 125 pounds 188 - 5th 10% goal 179 - no longer "overweight" 170 - 6th 10% goal 165 - down 150 pounds and GOAL!!! |
wow, xena, that's a lot of numbers. I may not do as long a list, but here goes...
330--highest weight I know of 315--down 15 pounds (I'm at 314 now) coming up: 303--that's where I was for a long time until the last few years 299--out of the 300s 292--This is what I weighed when I graduated from college 280--This would be down 50 pounds 256--This is the lowest weight I've been as since high school 230--Down a hundred pounds 192--What I weighed when I graduated high school I really can't imagine getting even to 192, let alone below. But this is a good exercise, I think... maybe next time I'll be able to think lower :) |
295 -- highest weight
250 -- weight I was at for a long time and first mini-goal 220 -- another weight I was at forever and second mini-goal 199 -- onederland! 195 -- down 100 pounds! 179 -- out of obesity according to bmi charts and third mini-goal! |

I actually talk about these milestones in my blog. I think it is very important for any dieters to set milestones like what you ladies mentioned. The more, the merrier! It is easy (for me at least) to focus on my main goal when I overcome these milestones along the way. A 10lb weight loss 10 times is easier to achieve then a 100lb weight loss
