    I can bench 160 with my legs on the decline squat machine (I dunno if this is a lot.... but it's a bit jump for me personally).

    I can also eat 1,200 calories without feeling like I'm starving to death. Yay for body adaptations!*LOL*

    I can log calories in MFP without feeling like it's tedious and a chore.

    I can go to the park and play with my Grandkids and not just have to sit and watch!

    Love that! Lucky Grandkids!

    I can hike, go up stairs, walk, even run, without getting winded.
    I can tie my shoes without my belly getting in the way.
    I can buy cute clothes in the regular department.
    I feel good when my husband hugs me and his arms reach around me.
    I am confident when I meet new people and see old friends.
    I can put on anything in my current wardrobe and know it will fit.
    I feel pretty.
    I can wear pretty clothes.
    I can go to the doctor and be comfortable about all my numbers.
    I am still working on it but I can feel very good about how far I have come.

    I can tie my shoes! No more cramming my feet into already-tied shoes! The first day I realized that was a huge happy dance!


    I can't ride on the recumbent bike anymore b/c I don't have enough fat to keep my tailbone from rubbing on the seat and getting raw.

    I can do 10 pullups, and do sets of chin ups and dips with a weighted belt.

    I can run miles and miles without stopping.

    I could probably steal your girlfriend. ;)

    You can't steal yourself a girlfriend while happily married! :laugh:

    1. I can control what/when I eat.

    2. I can shop in the regular stores.

    3. I can do an hour on the treadmill without dying!

    4. I can cross my legs (been years since I could do this).

    5. I can go to ANY restaurant and ask for a booth without wondering in my mind if I am going to fit!

    I can run 2 miles and am on my way to being able to run a 5k. This is huge for me, I never thought I would be able to run. I look forward to exercise rather than dread it.

    I can park where ever I want and not worry about how far it is to walk. I LOVE this freedom, do you know how many spaces are in the back of parking lots??!??!

    I jogged 1.25 miles without stopping! I was really proud of myself because I've NEVER been a runner. My pace was very slow, but all that mattered to me was that I kept going!

    In just the 2 weeks I've been at this I can:

    Do 40 minutes on the treadmill 5x/week (before I could BARELY do 20 minutes and I would do it maybe twice a week. Usually not at all)

    Count my calories and easily stay under my goal (never thought I'd count calories or become a health nut)

    Not have any desire to go back to poor eating habits. Looking at some of the foods I was previously consuming just disgusts me now. It's not tempting at all. More like sickening.

    I can't wait to be able to get about to 5k/day (right now I'm at 2k per day)

    It's amazing how many changes you can make in such a short amount of time. It makes you think "why in the *BLEEP* was I not doing this all along?!"
