    Finally at 17.5 lb dumbbells for biceps. Was stuck at 12 and 15 for so long long.

    Sleep all night without waking up wanting something to eat. Button my jeans without sucking in my gut. These are just a few.

    Friday night I took my run after work. I did my "Run for 1.5 miles, then you can take your 1 min walk." well, after 1.5 miles, I felt ok, so I kept running. And kept running. I ran 2.69 miles without stopping!!

    PR'd my pace time AND distance without stopping. 1 month ago I did 2.61 miles in 36 mins, 13.47 pace with a walk/run. Friday I did 2.69 miles in 34 mins 12.39 pace, all running.

    Still slow by some standards, but from where I started, I'm a gazelle!

    I can now drive by a McDonald's and not think twice about it.
    Walk past the chip shop on the way home and not be tempted

    Over the winter I didn't really shave my legs that much but now that's it is getting a little warmer I shaved them and boy it's a lot easier! But at the same time I have some extra skin so that was kinda a pain to deal with but oh well I think take it

    I can run intervals on the treadmill. Not for long but I'd never have dreamed of doing it 30 days ago :blushing:

    I couldn't fit into my favorite jeans. Next month I hope to not fit into those either! I want to fit back into my shorts for summer!

    Haul *kitten* for the train without having to take two trips or panting like a race horse afterward.

    Congrats! I hate that the older I get the more I realize how weak my arms are. I can't wait for the day I can do a pushup!

    I can run at all! I am currently only doing 1.5 minutes running, 1 minute walking, but last month, I was satisfied with just walking.

    I can eat up to my daily calorie allowance and not feel guilty about it. When I used to use my fitness pal, I had this horrible notion that I was always eating "too much" no matter how little I ate. I have lost 6 pounds in the last two weeks eating ALL of my calories (1800!) and I haven't had one guilty moment yet.

    I wish more people would be like you, and realize 1800/2000 is the minimum daily requirement for adult females. Welcome, and well done with your success!
