Tracking the mini goals

There’s nothing better than ticking off each tiny goal along the way, whether it’s losing half a pound, seeing the BMI drop by half a point, seeing the body fat ebb away and so much more! Nearly every pound I lose means ticking off at least one of these.

How do I do this? I use the MY Weight app and you can see a screenshot of this at the bottom of this page. The info below shows not only the weight loss since I started to blog but the estimated 21 pounds lost just before. By focusing on the tiny goals, I’m heading towards my eventual aim of being slim, healthy and back in those skinny jeans!
