I never thought I'd be getting up at 5:30 in the morning to go to the gym 5 days a week! Or that I'd even have a gym membership to begin with!

Or, that I would look forward to exercising, and wouldn't mind sweating so much! Really? Me?!

Also I never thought I would go a day with out soda let alone 7 months without one

- Feel uneasy when I go a day without working out instead of dreading having to do it
- Run shirtless and not worry the whole time that everyone's judging me
- Be proud of the progress I've made!

I never thought I could be as determined as I am now.
I never thought sliced cucumbers would sound/taste better than potato chips.
I never thought I wouldn't drink diet Pepsi.
I never thought I could walk 7.5 miles one day and then 5 miles the next day and then look forward to tomorrows walk.
I never thought I could read about others success without the green eyed monster looming up and making me feel inadequate so I'd sabotage myself. Reading others success stories makes me feel proud that I WILL BE in that group.

What a great place MFP is....thanks Everyone!

I never though I would have lasted 8 months on MFP. I always gave up in the first 1-3 months, but no this time. This is the longest I've kept up with a weight loss journey:flowerforyou:

:drinker: "I can't believe it! I NEVER thought I would develop a passion for living a healthier lifestyle, but NOW I am!" I decided to change my perspective about life after I was honored to be assigned as "mommy" two years ago. Life is a true inspiration! Every Time I look at my daughter I am committed to continue on this journey to life a healthier life! Congratulation to everyone altering your outlook on life! :bigsmile:

I never thought I would lift weights! And LIKE it!
I've been looking at bikinis as well. After having six kids. I wouldn't wear it in public; it would just be for if hubby and I decided to take a midnight swim while on vacation. But yeah, I would totally rock it then.
