It's a good habit to count our blessings and look back on the awesome results you've had since starting MFP. How many sizes did you move down? How often do you get compliments now? Were you finally able to cut back on maintenance medicine? Write the best 3!

I'll start:
1) My knees don't hurt anymore when I hike.
2) The compliments definitely upped my confidence.
3) I don't feel as hot and sweaty and tired as before!

I'll second your three (it's like you read my mind) and add these:
a) being able to go further faster
b) wearing 'slim' fit shirts
c) coming off blood pressure meds

NetflixFitness87

15 days in and:

1. I went from "fits like a glove" size 18 pants back into a comforatble size 16.
Also in tops/blouses size 2X/1X to XL (woman's).
2. I am motivated to take care of the outside of me too. I had been feeling frumpy so I was dressing that way too, not anymore, I am dressing up more, doing my hair/makeup and people are noticing that I look and feel better. Lots more smiles. :happy:
3. My knee is feeling better (from ACL surgery a few years ago) and doesn't bother while getting in my minimum 10,000 steps a day!

I am looking forward to more awesome things happening to me/us!

Yes! Or taking them out of the dryer...that is so weird. I still have a thing about buying jeans or pants, I always think "well yes I can wear some 12/14 but this looks tiny..." then I try them on and they fit. Yay!

FattyFatsoMcTubby

1) I can tie my shoes now. I actually had to keep my shoes tied loosely so I could slip them on and off. I can now kneel down and comfortably tie them, no breath holding or gasping.

2) I fit in all chairs now. I used to avoid chairs with armrests.

3) I can ride a bike for 50 miles and take a 5 mile walk shortly after.

thebejota

1. I don't have to buy new pants.
2. My lower back problems have substantially decreased.
3. I am starting to slowly get stronger and stronger.

1) Clothes are starting to fit looser
2) When I walk a few miles, my legs and feet are much less achy
3) I don't crave junk food nearly as much and I'm starting to crave healthier things

1) Clothes are starting to fit looser
2) When I walk a few miles, my legs and feet are much less achy
3) I don't crave junk food nearly as much and I'm starting to crave healthier things

Congratulations! I'm still waiting for number 3 to happen for me. I just can't stop craving cheeseburgers and pizza, even after losing 52 lbs. Might just be one of those things that never goes away I guess lol.

_Resolve_

1) I tossed my diabetes meds in the trash
2) I learned that I CAN do anything I want
3) I'm finally happy

This is a great thread!

1) I am happy with my figure again
2) I can run and bike easily and for long periods of time without getting exhausted and out of breath
3) I now wear a size 4-- haven't been able to do that since I was 16! I thought it was because of growing womanly hips, but really it was mostly fat!

Ldbg289

1. No chest pain(it was getting bad)
2. I can tie my own shoes(bending down was virtually impossible)
3. Was knocking on the door of a size 18(at 4'11" that's not good)now I'm between an 8 and a 12(depending on brand and T.O.M.)

Those are just the first 3 I thought of but there are so many more positive things that have happened as a result of me starting MFP.

3. My *kitten* and legs are back! I still have more progress but I do like where my body is going lol

Linnaea27

I was advised to lift heavy. OmG! Heavy lifting has done more for my sport (kick boxing) in a couple months than YEARS of light lifting! I'm just amazed!

I am down to my fighting weight/weight class with out all the hassle. MFP makes it idiot proof to lose weight the right way. . . .

Yes! The lifting advice is something I have just started to take seriously. I can't wait to see results! And I love how you described MFP's method as "idiot proof"! So funny, and accurate.
