Excited that my family is getting healthier too

Both me and my sister have struggled with our weight since we were kids. Recently I lost 35lbs during my first semester of college through MyFitnessPal. Its been weeks of hard work but I did it and Im proud. I just started running and I feel amazing. Now recently I heard that my sister lost 10lbs and I am so proud of her. My Mom has also lost around ten pounds and Im happy for her too. I am also really happy that when I get back this summer for break that we all decided to be healthier. So then we can all suppory eachother. Sorry for my small rant but I just wanted to share my excitement with everyone.

That's awesome. You are having a positive impact not only yourself, but others too. That's really cool. Running rocks, right? I feel pretty good myself.

This is without doubt, the best part of a journey toward better health. The effects on your family - it gives me so much satisfaction, way more than when I see a loss on the scale, rack up another NSV or improve my fitness.

My family are definitely seeing benefits from my decision to lose weight and become fitter. My children and husband have all lost a bit of weight, they go on long walks with me (today's was 7.5 miles and none of them complained) so they are getting fitter as well. Even my toddler wants to walk all of the time (but expecting her to walk 7.5 miles is a bit much for her little legs, so she walked about half of it )
