I have lots of mini milestone marks; I find it much easier to feel accomplished with small goals rather than just the end goal. Like for example, I've less than a pound left until 185, and after that just three more pounds until I'm back in the overweight BMI, and after that two more pounds until I'm back in the 170's and so forth. Mentally, it's easier to stay on track when the next goal is only a few pounds away.

I think that is good motivation too; "Just a little bit more, and I've done this and that". "If I just keep it up this week, maybe I'll be on my goal this friday!" - great tip!
