Anyone wanna join me for another mini-goal?

[LuvTigger]

I was very inspired by whoever it was that suggested a 4th of July mini-goal, and I'd like to do it again. Does anyone want to join me?

There's no major holiday coming up (well, August 15th is Statehood Day in Hawaii!), but I'm going to aim for another 7.5 pounds by August 1st. It's going to be a challenge since I'm going on a week-long vacation next week, and I have 3 overnight trips for work before August 1st as well, but more incentive for me! I am also holding myself accountable to all of you WISHers too!

Anyone else want to set a mini-goal?

Count me in I'm shooting for 45 pounds by August 2nd. A pretty agressive goal, but I am going to try!!

My Goal is for Labor Day! I want to be 160 by Labor Day I had backed off of that to 160 range but i'm back rolling agian and i believe i can do it. There's 8 weight ins (sunday's) until Labor Day holiday week. The Last one coming on Aug 24th. That means i would have to loose 1.69 lbs per week to hit this goal and i believe it's totally doable! So it's Labor day goal for me. And my last goal will be ThanksGiving and GOAL!!!!!!!!! There is 12 weeks from Aug. 24 weight in until the last weight in before thanksgiving which is Nov 23rd. I will have 25lbs to go when i hit 160 goal being 135 so that's 1.92 lbs per week. So anything i can do under 160 will be gravy towards my downhill strecth to GOAL. So for me it's Labor Day and THanksgiving.

Ok, I'm in since I need SOMETHING to work for.
Labor day, 8 pounds gone. I'm thinking small because I've been on this darn plateau so long that I'd be happy with small losses!!

I'm in for 5 pounds by 8/1. Its going to be work that needs to be done.

The hard parts:
4th - family reunion weekend away
18 - Red Sox game
19 - Wedding (Not mine)
20 - My Wedding Shower
22 - Bon Jovi Concert
24 - Cake testing (how can I not taste it??)
26 - another bridal shower

Wow, mid-month is going to be worse than the beginning. More reason to do this mini goal. Running out of time before the Wedding.

I know I'm not going to make my July 4th mini goal but lets give it another shot. I would like to make 147lbs by 1st Aug. That's 9lbs from now.

Id like to get my 10lb clippie by Aug 1st.

In reality tho Id like to maintain until the end of our summer trips - Aug 19th. The July 18-24 vaca will be the toughest. DH is coming along and Id like to cut loose and have a few zimas.

Then I'll have 12lbs to loose by Nov 6th and 11.5wks in which to do it. I WILL be 130lbs when I step onboard the Magic!!

 

[wdwnutze]

I'm in for sure. I am hoping to meet my 7/4 mini goal of getting my 20lb clippie. I have 1lb to go. I would like to lose another 5lbs by 8/1 which would give me my 25lb clippie. Having these mini goal to strive for really helps!!

 

[TigH]

Oh, I'm always up for a mini goal challenge!!!!! I know you can make your mini-goal, LuvTigger, even with the week of vacation and the overnight trips!

So by August 1st - eh? My mini goal is to lose 2 pounds by then. I'm almost at goal, so I am thinking the weight will be coming off slower now. I hope to lose .5 a pound a week, so if I do that, then I should lose 2 pounds in July! We'll see! So my goal weight will be 136 by 8/1. Not too shabby!!!!!!

I love these goals! My Labor Day goal is my 25 lb clippie! That's 9.5 lbs! or 144.5# I was going to say I want to be 145 by Labor Day then I realized that it was only .5 away from a clippie, now, how could I not want that? It's going to be tough w/ this weekend w/ family; FL 7/20-24; and big bro's wedding 8/2. I confess, this one looks very unrealistic to me.

Go for it! We can do this!

My mini goal will be to loose 11.2 pounds by 8/25/03. That is my final weigh in before I go home to Las Vegas to visit my mom for the Labor Day Weekend. That gives me 8 weigh in's to accomplish this. That's an average of 1.4 pounds a week.

Woo hoo! Thanks for starting this thread. I need something to keep me on track this summer. Next hurdle is to make it past our trip to Boston this week. I know there is a clam chowder cookoff there this weekend too. Oh how I love clam chowder. I can do it though. One meal at a time!

Good luck everyone!

Count me in - would like to lose 8 pounds in July - by 8/1? Have doctor check up 7/9 - looking forward to seeing nurse's face when they weigh me this time (what a change) as I've lose 72 pounds since the first of the year when I last visited them!! 8 more in July would put me at 80 pounds total lost - still have a ways to go - total hoping .... I mean "determined" to lose is 150 pounds!! Almost 1/2 way.

Thanks for all the encouragement - every time I feel like slipping or get discouraged, I just log on and read all the amazing things this group has accomplished!!

I have 5 pounds til goal, and I really wanted to make it by the 9th or 10th of this month, but I am pretty sure that won't happen, barring a miracle...If it does you guys will be the first to know

I would hope before Aug 1st
I want that fancy red banner badly

 

[mowsie dreamer]

Sounds like fun, LuvTigger! I'll take you up on 7.5 by 8/1! This will help me keep on track for my WDW trip in Oct.

 

[poohraedopey]

ME ME ME! I'd like to have at least my 5 id not 10 pound clippie by aug 1st! Then a 20 pound clippie by sept 1st. That was my summer goal and I did good for my first month before I started with WISH. So I think I can do it if I try.

 

[lisajl]

I am not going to make my July 4th goal, so I guess I will try again.
Count me in...I would like to be 10 lbs lighter by Aug.1

 

[disnygoof]

Me me! I'm in, too

I'm going to shoot for 10# by 8/1. It may be hard, but I think I can do it - especially w/WW and more importantly, all you WISH'ers

[tiggereyore]

I'd like to claim my 5# (1 more # to go) and my 10# clippie by then. I'll need you all to keep me on track (Tracy you better not be on vacation) Levi (DS #1) was sick yesterday and last night so all exercise got shot out the window. He's just perking up now mom said so hopefully inbetween making the mac salad (that I will not eat) for tom's party and the party itself then the 3 weeks that we have vacations going on 1 3 day weekend 1 4 day weekend and a full week. It will be a challange. My only saving grace will be all the walking and swimming I'll be doing.

Toghether we can do it!

 

[Luvinit]

Okay Christy....I am right here!!! Getting my boots ready just in case!!.lol

I dunnano about a goal for Aug 1st..........hummmm...I am gonna say 145!!! That's 7lbs...I am not sure about this...It seems like the more I work out the harder it is to get off!! BUT I am gonna Try!!!

WOW! I've been a bit busy and haven't spent as much time on WISH the past couple days, so I haven't checked this thread. I'm glad to have so many WISHers join in a mini-goal! I know for me personally, the big goal seems so far away (I'm aiming for a total loss of 55 pounds), that when you just lose a little, it doesn't seem like enough. But I've learned that it makes it easier to set little goals along the way, and it sounds like everyone has set very do-able goals! I know we can all do it!

(P.S. whoever thought up the clippie idea is a genius...I noticed a lot of people have the next clippie as part of their goal!)
