Let's Hear It!

So I was reading another post about embarrassing "fat" moments, so let's hear some awesome stories about getting fit, losing weight or anything health related. Did someone say something to make you feel proud, were you able to do something you never thought you could, did you show people who doubted you that you are a freaking rock star......let's be positive people!


My big moment came the other day. I ran 3 miles and then did Body Combat. Not a huge deal, but the instructor who I think is just awesome told me that I was in awesome shape. Made.my.freaking.day!

    when I told my new colleagues about the "bad old days" when breakfast used to be 2 cigarettes, a can of energy drink and a chocolate bar! they were flabbergasted as I now tend to have fruit & porridge after running to work!
  • Two semesters ago I had a class in this classroom equipped with those chairs with the little flip-up desk attachment thingy, and I couldn't put the desk part all the way down because my bulging belly got in the way. Tonight, I started my class in the same classroom. AND I FIT!

    I have participated in a Mud Race/Obstacle course (twice) and you need serious strength to do that!

    This morning a woman who I have long found intimidating due to her athletic ability, intelligence and rather aggressive personality came over and put her arm around me and congratulated me on my weight loss and told me how impressed she was with my achievements! Made my whole day!

    As soon as I got below 150lbs, I could sit on the toilet lid without having it cave in. :)
