I want you to brag on yourself

sgtinvincible

So, I'm feeling pretty positive today, so I want to share that spirit with everyone. I know sometimes life can get us down, especially when we feel like the scrutiny of the world is on us, but it's all too easy to forget what makes us amazing, beautiful good people.

So, I want everyone to brag on themselves a little. Don't be shy! What do you think your best feature is? What is your proudest moment? What wouldn't you change about your life, come hell or high water? No negativity, let's bust this side of the interweb out with positivity! Tell us all what makes you great!!! :happy: :happy:

Since I'm not shy... haha

I think my best physical feature is my smile! I've been told other parts of me, but I'ma say my smile. haha And I wouldn't change my personality for anyone. I am who I am regardless. I've come to know alot about who I am as a woman and a mother, and it's pretty darn good so far.

And what about you Mr. Sgt? haha If I had to choose for you... I'd say your smile! :happy:

Wow , this is a tough question. It shouldn't be , but I think everyone is so used to concentrating on the negative.. Here we go my best feature ... or what I like most about me is my hair, lol what a girly answer I know. But I love my naturally curly hair. My proudest moment is when I decided to live my life for my self. To choose my happiness, and not worry about what everyone else thought I SHOULD be doing. I'll never regret the choices I've made to make myself happy. The one thing I wouldn't change in my life is my son. He may have come at a time when i didnt think I was ready or when I hadn't planned it, but God did. He is a joy and a blessing and gives me a sense of awe every single day. He is my Love.

I am not a quitter. I lost 40 pounds with Weight Watchers 3 years ago and I hit a stand still in my WL journey. I hung in there for years..going up and down in the WL dept. Six months ago, I got a personal trainer and I am finally down another 12 with 26 pounds to go.
Yesterday I partook in a Relay for Life Challenge at the gym. It was really hard for me, but I finished it! The last event was on the ellipitcal on the random program at level 18 for 45 minutes! I thought I would die 15 minutes into it, but I kept on going. I am very proud of myself for my achievements and I am very happy that I can finally say that I like me!! YIPEE!!!!!

This is a tough question. I know I am a good person; I try and help when someone needs my help; I give advice when it is asked for and only when it is asked for; I believe there is good in all. My best attribute, I believe, is my hair which is dark brown with lots of body and no curl. I know I can lose this weight, it is just hitting the right combination and I try to turn negative into positives.

I have a sharp wit and nice eyes. Butt & gut are still a work in progress. :bigsmile:

I am sharp witted and open-minded and I have nice hair and eyes! I have survived a lot in my life and feel proud of the woman I have become despite it.

I have also lost 77 lbs so far since September (the healthy way) and feel better than I have in a long time. I have a beautiful baby boy (17 1/2 months) who is the light of my life. He truly makes me feel proud and that I have accomplished something amazing.

I think you are all great!!! Keep up the EXCELLENT work. Weight loss is NOT easy!

amandagreen1980

I have flirtatious eyes and a nice smile. I can strike up a conversation with anyone and make them feel at ease.

I have a great family (husband, mum, dad, sister, niece and nephew) who i would do anything for and i know they would do anything for me. I feel proud to be part of them and we have lots of fun together!

Since January 31st, I lost 10 pounds for the first time through diet and exercise ; I'm currently 137.

Before that, I lost 60 pounds from chemotherapy so I became thin by sleeping all day. I never recognized that it took hard work and dedication to lose weight and be healthy, so I'll work harder to maintain my weight when I get to 128/130.

My measurements have changed a lot:

Waist: 29.5 - 27
Hips: 38 - 36
Left & Right Arm: 11 - 10
Left & Right Thigh: 22 - 20

It just takes energy, will, and patience

CyclingDiva

Hmmm were do I start?
I'm a great mother, a wonderful wife, a great friend. I have always lived my life to believe
being good to others is a must!
I love my strong legs I see people who are in incredible shape and think I would love
to be like them...then I sit back and realize I kind of am. I never give myself enough credit. Shoot
as far as I know people are thinking that of me???
I can go for 45+ mile bike rides with no problem, I go for 20 mile hikes, I love
to walk. I could walk miles and miles and love it every step along the way. I use to be a runner, but decided to save my knees for a rainy day
Oh and I love my hair LOL!!!
Gosh I never thought I would have such and easy time bragging about myself hahhaha!
Peace and love to all of you :flowerforyou:

sgtinvincible

Wow! I just want to say how proud of all of you for being so positive. No matter how great (or ungreat) you might think you are, I PROMISE, I PROMISE, that you are all amazing people, and I am BLESSED to be apart of this community and your friend. Thank you, thank you, thank you for all being here.

As far as myself, I think I have a couple of nice attributes. I have been told I have really beautiful eyes, they are such a light blue they are almost grey, everyone in my immediate family has eyes like this, and I think they are pretty striking. I shall now forego modesty, and admit that I think I have a pretty cute man butt :laugh: . I also have a good muscular chest, and it gets better the more weight I lose. (I also appreciate the comment on my smile, I have never really thought it was all that different from others, in fact I tend to kinda 'sideways' grin. I think I taught myself to do it as a kid because Han Solo did it... )

My greatest achievement was the 3 suicide saves I had when I was a crisis negotiator. They were extremely long affairs and they were absolutely draining, but I talked the kids out and they are alive today. I don't take credit for it, but I know I did my part and I am so glad I was able to be there for them when they needed someone to talk to.

I love how I am flirty, but disarming, and I care very very much about being a good person. I have always strived to live my life in a way that would make my Mom and Grandma proud of me, and while I haven't always lived up to that, I strive for it everday. I can't wait to be a Dad, that's my greatest dream. I know why they don't have greatest Dad ever awards, because they know they would just have to give it to me, and they don't want to make all the other Dad's sad. I'm ok with that. :laugh:

Again, I just want to tell everyone here how proud I am of them. I am amazed everyday by this eclectic group of people on a mission. Thanks for letting me be a very small part of your lives. :happy:

lotusfromthemud

Here goes. . .

I think I am a very strong person,and I use this strength to stand up against injustice and cruelty if I see it. Also, I think I strive every day to see the beauty in others, and in the world.

Also, if I may say so, you can bounce a quarter off my *kitten*.

:flowerforyou:

I think we all are pretty darn cool.

sophialittle

-Haha, umm, for the most part, I love my smart *kitten* personality! :happy:
-I love how my family members all give to each other so unselfishly
-I love what I've accomplished with my life, like owning my own home by myself, and my college degrees
-I have finally lost over 20 lbs!
-I went golfing today and wasn't drained when I got done walking 9 holes! What a change from last year! And I went on a 1/2 hour walk, and I went on a 4 mile bike ride!

I can't wait to be a Dad, that's my greatest dream. I know why they don't have greatest Dad ever awards, because they know they would just have to give it to me, and they don't want to make all the other Dad's sad. I'm ok with that. :laugh:

OH yes they do! Cause I currently hold the greatest MOM ever award, I know this cause my son told me so and thats what counts :laugh:

Eve23

Hmmm this is a hard one for me. But hey I think I can try it out.

My favorite thing about me is my mind. Not much of a feature but I am proud of being able to think on my own and make decisions and having forsight.

I guess the other features I like are my eyes and even though I love rich colored hair I ilke mine alright.

Smilineyes

I love my smile and my eyes. I'm starting to love my arms and legs and butt :happy: I am most proud of being a coach. It's not even the basketball part of it. It's being a positive influence in those girls lives. I love being that person they can come to or look up to. I'm also one heck of a girlfriend

sgtinvincible

Ok folks, there are still a lot of you who haven't bragged about yourself! C'mon! Tell us what makes you rock!

If you post it will make me :bigsmile: . If you don't I will :sad: . Don't be the person who makes me :sad: !!!

I'm honest and trustworthy - to a fault - I can also be tackless and stubborn. I defend the defenseless, especially animals and the elderly. I'm a sucker for the pathetic. Show me a cat that has 3 legs, 1 eye, a heart condition, and 2 months left to live, and I'll have another cat in my house.

Fitness/health - what I have accomplished in the past year:
Total cholesterol down
Triglycerides - way down
Quit smoking
No longer eat: HFCS, hydrogenated oils, non-whole grain flour, butter, or white sugar.
Now eat: at least 6 servings of fruits & veggies a day
Can take any class the gym offers
Think an hour on the elliptical is fairly easy

Other things I have accomplished (so longer than the past year):
I'm off the scale on flexibility & balance tests

will take strength and cardio tests soon

Oh, and I'm almost half way to my goal weight.

Oh, did you say "a little"

ali106

Shoot Jeremy you're good! lol

I love reading about everyone and I will concur on all counts! you all rock!

ugh...this is hard for me to do lets see...

I take pride in being a really good mom to my precious boy...its hard not to be w/ all the love I feel for him....he's the best thing I've ever done!

People have said I have pretty eyes....pretty smile...sort of an hour glass figure which I like...just need it to be alittle (lot) smaller lol....I'm a great dancer lol, and good athlete, pretty good artist and a great cook, um, I love to laugh and I think I'm funny sort of dorky and corny but funny....usually lol....I love to make people feel good about themselves because they should ...we all should....we're good, God doesn't make nothing bad! lol

I love and cherish my family and I'm a good daughter, sister, friend and wife....I love hard, care for hard, and worry hard (guess that last one was not so good!)

I'm bright but down to earth and really really easy going! ...

so wow that's quite a bit for a girl who said it was hard to do LOL

woopsie!:blushing: hugs! and thanks for doing this!

I think I'm most proud of raising happy girls who are compassionate to others. You can tell that my girls are happy because people are always commenting on how they smile all the time. I do take credit for it, because I believe that kids give what they get. I so want to be a good role model for my daughters. Teach them to be strong and self-reliant. The sky's the limit!

I'm proud (and shocked) that I've become an avid exerciser. I've never before done that in my life as consistently as I've done this past year. I just decided I was gonna do it last June, and I did! :noway:

-Jeremy

Can't be making you :sad: now can we? Especially since you have such a nice:bigsmile:
So, here goes - I believe God made each of us the way we are for a purpose, so I can't complain about the things I have no control over. There are however, some things I like better than others. My favorite physical feature would be my eyes. One summer when I worked at a Christian camp, a friend and her youth group attended. She told me that if a certain friend of hers ever saw my eyes in the sunlight he would fall in love with me. Must have been true because we've been married almost 14 years. I strive to be the kind of person others can see Jesus through. When I was a child, I heard my mama tell someone that I was thoughtful, so I have always tried to live up to that. My greatest accomplishment, well, my 5 greatest accomplishments are my children. I spend time with them, homeschool, do lots of fun, creative things, read to them daily, and pray and tuck them in every night with a song, a kiss, and a hug so I think I'm a good mom.
Thanks. When I think of all the areas of my life that need improvement, it was nice to consider the things I'm doing right.:happy:
