    Kudos to you! Great job!

    I am proud that I was able to resist the chili dogs, cornbread, fritos and freakin awesome looking cinnamon rolls at the food day at my job today. The only thing I gave in to were two stuffed jalepeno pepper halves. I knew if I ate any of that stuff, I would not be able to stop.

    I didn't want to exercise this morning, but I haven't missed yet this week and I didn't want to ruin the streak, so I got up and onto the elliptical. And I was short on time, so to get my 200 minimum burn in a short amount of time, I stayed on level 3 the whole time except for the 5 minutes that I went up to level 4 ... so I got my 200 calories in under 20 minutes. AND today was my day off, home alone, and I did NOT eat any ice cream, or bread, or anything else I didn't plan on. I've done the 'cheat' thing so many times and have been disappointed in my inability to lose this weight for over 10 years now. I just wanna finally stick with it and see things happen ....

    I attempted Jillian Michaels' Six Week Six Pack DVD. i only got a quarter of the way through it, but thats ok. I'll put it in tomorrow and try again. Eventually I'll be able to do the whole thing. Before, i always had excuses. Before, i was always going to start "tomorrow". Today is my tomorrow now. :)

    I'm proud that I bought scrubs and they're a size small and I used to wear a 5XL. So yeah, I'm pretty proud of that. :)

    Great post and good luck on your way to fitness! Moms want to say yes and make everyone happy but you stood your ground for your health- way to go!

    I am proud that I went out with friends tonight and had a mineral water and did not partake in the greasy appetizers. I had a lovely time and my stomach felt much better for not having ate those things- yay.

    Great going everyone! I am proud of myself for jogging 25 minutes this morning without needing to walk at all! This is after struggling to run for more than one minute at a time just three weeks ago!

    WOW! I walked a BIG OLE 6 whole today, that's a huge and tremendous accomplishment for me--YES!!!!!!

    It took more than 2 hours, but I'm only counting 1 hour (for not eating back my exercise calories purposes and because I don't really trust the cals burned listed either). I my feet feels kinda sore and it's the BEST sore in the world :drinker: :love: :drinker:

    Today I am proud that I went to the store seeking to buy specific items which the store did not have available to me and I left the store without buying anything else. I actually stuck to the plan. Go me!!!

    Today was a late morning and I still went downstairs and did some strength training on the ball, after doing Jillian's warm up for the 30 day shred. Afterwards I started the C25K for the third time, but was able to do all of the running parts easier than before. Amazing what a week of daily cardio will do for you.

    well done! I am proud that I did not go over my cals, ate a fruit salad, stopped myself at a quarter of a chocolate brownie.

    I went out tonight with my girlfriends to see a show, we had dinner first. I checked out the menu today, (Pizza Express) and found the low cal options. I reisted starters, and stuck to a low cal choice (only 500 cals), and had sparkling water. Kept m diet on track and had the most brilliant night out. Just got home and know thanks to MFP that I am going to lose my weight. I love this website xxx

    Today I couldn't stomach another egg (for reasons I won't get into but I am also plain sick of them). I am lazy and didn't feel like going to the grocery store and all I had besides eggs was cheese. So I went eh, I'll eat 1200 calories of cheese and go shop tomorrow.

    Then I caught myself being really cranky over something little and realized nope, that isn't going to fly. So I went and bought me some steak.

    I'm proud of that because I'm learning just how much what I eat as well as how much I eat affects my moods.

    I'm proud that I've acknowledged that I do look smaller and I'm really pleased with that realization.

    i am proud that after cheating and eating unhealthily twice last week, I chose to take control TODAY and stop the madness!! I have drank my 1 gallon of water, taken my vitamins, juiced my breakfast and eaten a healthy lunch!! So far so good!! My goal is to take it one day at a time, 1 hour at a time, 1 min at a time if necessary!!

    Last night was the first concert that I went to since my decision to be more healthy. My husband and I have been doing the fruits, veggies, beans, and nuts diet for two weeks and started a master cleanse today. Long story short, last night was the first sober concert I attended since high school. Lol. All my friends were partying and I was a good girl with my water. What Iʻm most proud about though is when we all went to 7eleven for the "after concert munchies" and I hung out and didnʻt eat anything. As much as I wanted to, I stuck to my water. Who knows if Iʻll be able to do that all the time...but Iʻm super stoked that I did it once :)
