What's your short-term goal?

We're all very concerned with our LONG-TERM GOALS: lose 100lbs, lose 200lbs, lose 70lbs... but let's stop for a minute and just think about and type out one SHORT-TERM GOAL.

This helps me in my journey because I tend to be very ambitious... I plan a lot and then my head explodes... lol

So just for right now.... what is one short-term goal that you are focusing on? Whether you're pre-op... shortly post-op or 5 years out... we can all set a small goal!

ME?

Lose 10lbs.... back to my lowest of 203lbs. Also? Exercise 2-3 times a week. That's it!

I have small increment (5-10 #) weight goals. Right now I am working to get down to 150 . Right now I am also working on planning my food and following my plan.

My short term goal is to weigh 150lbs by my Wedding Anniversary in September and to exercise 30 mins a day.

I want to move 100 miles a week under my own power (walking or biking) consistently through the end of the summer

My short term goal is to run in the back yard with my son and not die from asthma. I know that will happen before i hit -100 pounds because as i loose i feel better.

Mine would be to get back on track and take one day at a time - eating and exercising properly.

Mine is to lose my pre-op weight.

Mine is to keep plugging away at my list of things to do before I get a surgery date.  Still left:

- 2nd meeting with psychologist (next Monday)
- Meeting with pulmonary specialist (possible sleep study)  Next week
- Get approval from PCP and schedule endoscopy

Meanwhile, I am not to gain any weight, but I'm trying to lose some.    Have cut back on eating and am planning meals and packing my lunch for work.
