    I know there is a thread in the general board about achieving mini goals, but I didn't know where to post what my mini goal is. So I figured I'd post it here!!

    My first mini goal is to get below 200 lbs!!! Not too lofty a goal. I was 206 this morning when I weighed myself. It's 1# higher than I was the 1st or second week in May. Then we traveled a lot and are finally home for a couple weeks until June 29, when we head out for 5 days again around the time of my dh's family reunion.

    So. There it is. I've written it so I really have something to strive for. I have my big end goal, but I think baby steps are a great thing!!

    I think that is a great mini-goal. One successful mini goal will lead to another successful mini goal which eventually will end in a successful BIG goal!! I know you can do it.

    mini goal
    As a start, my mini goal was just to see the number on the scale drop below 160. It's taken 6 days to do so. Guess my body was gonna do its damndest to hold onto the fat. But i weighed in this morning and am 159. i know it's a very small achievement, but a pound is a pound nonetheless, so i'm happy. Now i'll start setting goals in 5lb incriments.

    LUVMYFAM.... you got to start with small goals. cause if you look at the whole number then it gets too overwhelming.

    Thinnythighs.... That is awesome. Congrats.

    I want to be at 200 by my birthday at the end of sept. so i have 40 pounds to lose. I know it is alot but I am determined to either be at 200 or atleast close to it. atleast 215.....

    hey - I am new but hope it is ok to be posting --- I think that is a great goal! I recently got under 200 myself and it feels GREAT! If I was focused on all the rest of the weight I still have to lose I would be so overwhelmed that I would give up!
