What Are Your Mini-Goals?

I'm thinking of "minis" so I can enjoy my journey more.

Some are obvious.  Dropping below 200.  Each ten pounds lost thereafter.  A new size in clothes.

But I'm also thinking about--

Fitting into my husband's jeans. 

Fitting into my husband's OLD jeans that he can't fit into any more.

Going to a TexMex restaurant and successfully ordering something I can eat, without pigging out OR feeling deprived. (Which is more about ME and how I handle it, than anything else.)

How do you get your EBW?

You are really doing great!

 Thanks!  EBW is excess body weight.  Subtract your goal from your starting weight and thats EBW.  For example, my starting weight was 343, I need to reach 171 so my EBW is 172.

My current goal is to hit Onederland.... which should be in the next day or two since I am 200lbs today....

My next major mini goal is to lose 30 lbs by august for my brothers wedding.  My family lives in NY and I am in OH, so no one wil have seen me since before surgery.... It would be awesome to go back hom 80 lbs lighter than what they last saw me :)

I reached one this morning. I wanted to be under 170 (by my scale) by the time I get to my 6 mo visit this Thursday. Scale said 169.5 this am. WOOT! I always get some bounce back, so we'll see what it says on Thursday.

I don't really have any big ones I can think of from here to goal. I just want the scale to keep moving down.
