What can you do now that you couldn't do 30 days ago?

I could not bend over and put my palms on the ground in front of me. My flexibility has increased and continues to increase! Oh yes, and there is a pair of gym shorts that were tight, but now they fit nicely. And my fav pair....had to take the tie on the band in a little.
It is so exciting...thanks MVP...your program is so helpful.0 -
Feels good not to be on the knees, huh!0

Touch my elbow to my opposite knee, and touch the opposite toes with my fingers when kicking my leg forward.0

Run for 20 minutes at a time.
30 days ago, I was still doing week one of C25K and was panting my way through 60 seconds of running and checking my phone every few seconds to see when I would be able to stop running. :laugh: 0 -
30 days ago I didn't feel like I was "in control" of myself. My whims & everything else around me had more power over me than I did. Now, I know what I can and cannot eat, when I should (when I'm hungry) and shouldn't (when I'm emotional) eat. Instead of being lazy and letting time tick by, I get up & tie on my running shoes and MAKE the time to go outside and run. It's my "Me Time".
And speaking of which, 30 days ago, I could not run for 3 minutes straight and run for 2 miles at a time. (I was still doing a 2 min run/2 min walk for 20 min/average 1.4 miles. Now, it's 3 min run/1 min walk for 30 min/average 2 miles.)
I feel stronger!
You ARE stronger.

Wear size 36 waist pants (and I DO wear my pants around my waist at the navel) - 30 days ago I was in size 42 and I started 5 months ago at size 56.
Go out to eat and actually not ask for a table because I can now fit easily into a booth,
Walk at all for exercise since then I still had a broken foot but I restarted day #1 at 6 miles
Not lie about my weight when filling out documents (I always out 250 lbs. when I was 287) I am now 217 and while I have a good bit more to lose, I am proud of where I am but 30 days ago I was actually at 220 but had the throw that in because I am super happy about it.0 -

Wow! 6 inches in 30 days of your waist is amazing, and even more so is 20 inches in 5 months. My waist doesn't seem to want to budge. Great job, you should feel proud!0 -
I'm on the 22nd day of my journey here, but the clean eating has helped me get rid of my chocolate cravings. A few days ago I had four pieces that were offered to me and felt almost sick; they were way to sweet.
30 days ago I would have eaten twice as much, if not more, and have further cravings.0 -
There is nothing that I do not adore about this post.30 days ago I couldn't do one push-up (not even girlie ones). Now I can do 20 in a row (girlie ones) and reckon one day soon I'll be able to do a real one without falling on my face.
30 days ago I couldn't lie on a beach without Greenpeace trying to roll me back into the water (I exaggerate slightly for dramatic effect). Now I am even considering buying my first ever bikini in time for our gorgeous New Zealand summer.
30 days ago I couldn't see my foofoo when I was in the shower without leaning forward. Now whenever I look down, there she is!
30 days ago I couldn't understand why One Direction are so popular. No change there.

I was very pleased mainly this month because while I only lost 2 lbs due to not being able to do any exercise because of injury I still was losing inches. Walking is the only exercise I can do anyway (disabled) but something is working for sure. Thank you and yes, very proud even though I have much to go with 34 lbs to my goal weight of 183 at 6 foot tall.0 -

Wow. That's a great accomplishment. Keep it up. You resemble Kelsey Grammer in your avatar.0 -
1) I can walk almost ONE HOUR with a moderate pace of 10.5km/ hr (unbelievable);
2) I can wear my old favorite T-Shirt which was not possible since last few years;
3) My food habit got changed almost 75%0 -

Well the avatar is me 25 lbs heavier. One of the motivating things for me to lose weight was when several people said I looked like John Goodman so I guess I will take a Kelsey Grammer LOL0 -
