    At the beach there are lots of steep stairs. Last month, I nearly collapsed trying to walk up them. I had to stop 5 times and then rest when I got back to my car.

    Yesterday, I was able to easily go up and down them twice without even thinking about it.

    What else?
    Do pushups
    Run for 20 minutes straight.

    For the first time in my LIFE, I can do a pullup - I never had the strength, even as a kid, in my arms to lift my bottom-heavy body up high enough to get my chin above the bar. Now I can :o) Someday I hope to be able to do two in a row!

    well, not 30days ago but 7months ago I started my weight loss journey and did not enjoy running because I didn't believe I could do it. today I have lost 22pounds and have lost several inches all over my body. I can now run 1hour straight a day. I am working with a personal trainer and loving this whole process. this is my first time on mfp. the changes I am seeing are amazing.

    Seated machine bench 61 kg. That's 3 kg more than my lowest weight when I was in my twenties. Unfortunately still a lot lower than my current body weight.

    My new jeans, now slide off without needing to unbutton them. I guess I need to start using a belt, I can't afford new jeans. :laugh:

    for me, lose 8 pounds. And people are starting to notice.

    Compared to 3 months ago, I can now - tie my shoes a lot better, can walk further, have more energy, am adopting 2 kitties today (YAY!) of which i now feel I have the energy to take care of them; and I have conquered a a lot of my food addiction; and going from "how in the world am i going to lose weight" to "hey this isn't so bad".

    mine is utterly pathetic :( but I can now put on socks without a struggle, unlike 7 weeks ago when trying to put on socks would almost leave me in tears because it was so hard.

    I can run for three minutes straight.

    Not a big deal compared to the most of you guys. But I haven't been able to do that before.

    I am limited by my muscle endurance only now...before it was my lungs. Now muscle fatigue is what's slowing me down.

    I can get up the hills at the track without thinking I'm going to die. 50-odd flights of stairs according to my fitbit. Again. Muscles, not endurance. This is a big thing for me...

    30 days ago i couldnt walk a mile, now im back to my high school mile time of 7min, and can run for 2 1/2 miles straight, working toward my last summer amount which was 4 miles straight taking just 35 minutes. thats my running goal.

    30 days ago i couldnt do a single yoga move, now my balance has improved, and i can do things like this...

    90 days ago i wanted to eat chips and cake and processed foods, now i dont think twice about things like that, i want apples and farmstand strawberries, and protein shakes.
    Wow! That's incredible progress, congrats!!!
