    Putting on an old favorite pair of size 12 pants for the first time in years. They're still just a bit too tight, but I'm wearing them today anyway. They have a high dork factor (polyester pants), but I don't care.

    Good for you morethanthis0! Mine was going out for a walk, and not using the low temps as an excuse to pass on the exercise!

    I was running late to work today, but decided to walk anyway instead of taking the car like I usually do when I'm running late.

    Sooo today my proud moment was making a whole day of healthy, filling, and delicious food while staying under my calorie goal! I mean, I made a bbq pizza that was 350 calories total for the whole pizza!

    Recipe for this, please ... :)

    1 Latortilla Factory Smart & Delicious Tortillas
    1.5 oz of light shredded mozzarella
    Red onion-chopped
    3 oz chicken (I use trader joe's already grilled frozen chicken...super easy)
    3 tbs of Jack Daniels Honey Smokehouse BBQ sauce...or any lower cal bbq sauce

    Put sauce on first then chicken and onions, cheese on top and throw it in the oven @ 375 for 10-12 min.

    Mine wasn't as great as all the ones on here but I am proud of myself nonetheless. I have made it to the gym for four days in a row, after not going other than once or twice in the last few years. I even managed to run for two (nonconsecutive) minutes. It's not much but it's a start and I am proud that I am actually doing it.

    I subbed a Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 workout tonight for my planned workout (horseback riding) since it's snowing and the roads to the barn are crappy. I was so tempted to take the night off because I was feeling whiny and crampy, but worked out anyhow - and at higher intensity than I originally had planned. Feeling so much better! :smile:

    I passed by the pastries in the grocery store--which I REALLY wanted. But I asked myself what I wanted more, those pastries or tofeel better and live longer. Major step for me.:blushing:

    After the phone rang, I got back on the eliptical instead of blowing it off.

    I have 2 proud moments from the last few days that I hadn't had a chance to add yet.

    First one, after I finished a hard workout before dinner I found out that my family were getting pizza for dinner. I decided that there is no point working out hard if I don't eat right, so I passed and had salad and a crumbed chicken instead! I stayed strong even though I had to go pick up the pizza's! I felt so good after that and now my motivation has increased too!

    Second proud moment was, after missing lunch yesterday because I was at a client all day I had such cravings for sugary and salty foods! Usually, if I end up missing lunch or going most of the day without eating, I head straight for the nearest store to buy chocolate and crisps and liquorice. Yesterday, I must have passed 5+ shops on my way home and running an errand but I waited to eat until I got home. I ended up having 2 rice cakes to ease the hunger pangs before a healthy dinner.

    These are proud moments for me because, before MFP, if I had the opportunity to eat badly I would never miss it. Now, I keep thinking that no matter how good it tastes, if it keeps me from losing weight it is not worth it.

    So thank you to everyone for sharing your proud moments! You are helping people like me to keep faith that this is possible! :happy:

    Well I walked home non-stop from the gym (last time I walked home was on Jan 5th and I had to sit down twice - at conveniently placed bus stops). This time I managed it all the way home without stopping - cutting 4mins off the trip!

    (BTW I live in a very hilly suburb and the gym is at the bottom of the hill).
