I'm proud of myself for dedicating to this! (That has been a huge challenge for me over the years)

I am proud of myself today because, even though I am feeling a bit under the weather and have no voice, I still hit the gym and got in a good workout this afternoon. I am also proud of myself for looking in the mirror today, and actually liking what I see.....never happens!

FANTASTIC!

I'm proud of myself today because I fought to get out of bed after 4 hours sleep to go for a half hour run while fighting horrible period pain / nausea.

I want to curl up into a ball now though.

I'm proud that I went for a 60 min brisk walk, did a leg and tricep workout....never did so much in one day, I started my journey almost a month ago.

I did the BodPod on Dec. 23, 2011 and was 22.5% BF, I went back today (7 weeks) and I am now 20.5% with no lean muscle loss, so it was all fat loss!!!

i'm proud that i got my cracker privileges back. used to be that if i bought crackers, i would eat one every time i walked through the kitchen, thinking "it's just one cracker." now i have three different varieties that i take for lunch, and i actually measure out servings. bags last longer than two days, also.

some day, i'll get my cereal privileges back. that one might take a while, however. lol

I am proud of myself for increasing the intensity of my work outs. I have had plantar faciitis and knee problems in the past, so I am careful about my cardio and my feet, but I started jogging. I have lived. Minor pain in my right ankle and knees seem to be fine. I love jogging. I am proud for finding a way to be fit!

Today I'm proud of myself for drinking a lot of water, eating healthy and working out

For having a second workout after having a bad day with food!!

Jayme34

i printed out my food journal and posted it on my fridge, and actually stuck to the plan today!

I'm proud of myself today because I really wanted to be lazy and order a pizza, but instead I cooked a healthy dinner.

mjok31

I'm proud of myself today for tring to do "man" push-ups and was able to do 10 without stopping!

shepherdbl

A week ago it took me 20 minutes to swim 4 laps. Today I swam 8 laps in that time. Yay!

Hornet4Life

I woke up at 5 am and met my running buddy to do 4 miles GO US!

Im proud of myself for signing up to this site and hope to get great tips and get to my target weight in 3-4 months time

Okay, I was so excited and happy after my cardio appt. today that I wanted to cry.

I certainly prove that eating better and exercising makes a big difference.

I though this was just a follow up with a discussion of my last summers run of many tests
which is was, but they also did a rapid NON-fasting blood test.

I was a bit disappointed in their scale as I weighed 157 at 11:30 with clothes on because
my scale says I weigh 149, but. The good news is I lost 9 lbs. in 7 mo. since I last went
to see him. I was 166. I almost died when I asked my weight history since I have been
seeing a cardiologist and my highest weight was 178 almost 2 years ago. YIKES!

So, here are my numbers in comparison to July 26, 2011

Total Chol: 185 to 153 (don't forget this was also NON fasting) could have been a better number - EEEEEEE
Trig: 157 to 62 (holy crap)
HDL (good) 50 to 57 (thanks to exercise I'm guessing)
LDL (bad) 104 to 84 (yes)
Chol. ratio 3.7 to 2.7 1% is huge he said
AND...
Blood sugar 103 to 97. Now I did have a check of this with my primary in the Fall and it was 119 so this is huge BECAUSE
I'm no longer consider pre-diabetic!!!!! oh yeah!!!!!!!!! happy dance.

PennyNickel14

I keep trying! Keep Keep Trying! Even when I am not feeling it! Because I know in a month or a year, I will be glad I did not quit.

SafireBleu

Because I resolved to burn 1000 calories a day and eat half of them back and I have done it every day so far.

CHEFCH♥ZZ

that i worked out today even though im sore as a MF!!!!

JustAnotherCollegeGirl

I'm proud because for the last month and a half I've been doing tons of strength training and cardio 5-6 times a week for 45-60 minutes and the scale was just increasing (even though I haven't been overeating ...most days. and I eat healthy) and the scale FINALLY! dropped 6 pounds Whoo hoo!!

This may sound lame, but it's what I've got for today: I'm proud that I exercised when I really didn't want to. Too often (pre-MFP), I could talk myself out of getting on my machine, but today, as much as I simply wanted to log my calories, I got on for an hour!

I'm going to workout today despite this fading cold bothering me still. Today I noticed the "skinny indent" high under my cheekbone. I can tell my face is losing weight

patita65

I'm proud of myself because in the last 18 months I have lost 31kg (70 lbs) and keep getting so many lovely comments from my friends about how good I'm looking...it helps that I can now fit into sensational clothes, rather that frumpy plus size clothes. I still have 14kg to go and even though I've plateaued for a couple of months, I haven't given up!

tbresina

I am proud that I got my butt out of bed at 4am and worked out and that I did a 1hr zumba class this afternoon.........moving everyday!

jcstanton

1. I haven't cheated even once today.
2. I burned 600 calories in my workout at the gym, and I haven't missed a workout yet all week.
3. I have had six sixteen ounce bottles of water today, and I'm working on my seventh.

What a great topic! It is nice to see everyone saying something positive about themselves, we tend to be our worst critics.

I am proud of myself today because for the first time since I was a kid, I tried running. Mostly walked, but ran here and there too. It's a start!

lovinbeinold

I feel good about sticking to this food plan I've put together for inflammation and have followed it so close I've lost 34 pounds so far. I feel good about being committed to it. So, I feel good about improving my health, and it really works for me!

I feel good that I committed to a year long project with a friend that started January 1 and will end December 31.

I feel good that I bought an exercise bicycle and am actually using it and that my heart and lungs can feel the difference as I improve on it. I have committed to using it.

I feel good about making commitments and following through.

At the doctor's office this morning, even before he came into the exam room, I heard the doctor in the hall asking his assistant, "Is this weight right? It's down 16 pounds." He was very pleased with my progress and asked me how I had done it.
