    I can tie my shoes with little or no grunting and groaning.
    I can have fun over the weekend without alcohol (a biggie for me).
    I can spend an hour working out and actually enjoy it and look forward to the next time.
    I can walk past all the candy dishes at work without getting a piece from each one.

    I joined MFP not too long ago and I am proud to say that it has encouraged me to make better choices in what I eat and also to start working out. I am now doing Zumba about once a week and other cardio at home 2-3 times a week even though I am at my heaviest I've ever been. I'm hoping that I will start to notice the results.

    Everyone's comments on here are very inspiring and I hope to review these often to see what improvements everyone has made and I hope to add my own!! :smile:

    I can hold myself accountable for what goes into my mouth (thanks to MFP tracking...)

    I can jog a mile without stopping and dance the entire hour long Zumba class without stopping for a break! (other than a quick sip of water between songs). I never thought I'd be able to do that!! My next goal is a 5K!

    Lots of new posts on here today! Thanks everyone for sharing and congrats on your amazing accomplishments! I love this thread, love to see it pop up in my topics and come read these. Very, very inspiring!

    Trying to think of something to add for myself and thinking there isn't anything... well that's just me being negative (or tired) which is not what this thread is about, so.....

    I cam do Jillian Michaels 30 day shred levels 2 and 3 back to back. When I first got it I barely got through level one, and it took me weeks toove up levels!

    Just got back from vacation, and was able to get up on waterskis - this was a goal I had for summer, but it came early.

    It had been 25 years . . . btw, destroyed my entire upper body doing so, I'll be sidelined for a bit, but totally worth it!

    What fun! A great accomplishment! I haven't been on wAter skis since I was a teenager (yup that was more than 25 years ago) wouldn't have thought to try it again! Way to go!
