    Pants that didn't fit now do. Pants that used to fit now need a belt to stay up. I can go up and down the stairs in my home without wheezing. I can put on socks standing up.

    I can't wait to see what changes the next 30 days bring!

    What a motivating topic!

    I can now run a 5k...and feel like I still have more in me. :) New runner here, so not pushing too much too fast.

    I can run! Not fast and not far, but I CAN run. Arthritis will never let me be a serious runner, but at least I know I can run if I have to. I can also wear size 14 pants consistently instead of size 16. I am consistently fitting into a size large top. I can jog up four stories worth of steps--only once per day, mind you, but I can do it. I can feel some muscle under the flab on my lower abdomen. I can walk 4.2 miles in 62 minutes without being tired or out of breath. I can walk 4.5 mph for at least one mile.I made it through Jillian Michaels' 30-day Shred yesterday without keeling over. I can look at a scale that isn't budging and not give up because I know I'm doing what I'm supposed to do!

    I'm improving my chin ups. I can now do 6 in a row! Well the last one is a struggle, but I'm working hard to get to 10 with ease!

    A month ago I could not run at 7.0mph! It's still slow compared to some people but I used to huff and puff at 5.0! I remember a time i "ran" at 4.8 and could only do that for MAYBE 5 minutes.

    I wore workout shorts for the first time ever! Finally my legs have thinned out enough so I don't feel self conscious! Also, I'm finally able to do Burpees properly, jumping both in and out!
