when you used to max out heart rate @ 170watts on an eliptical and it is now 450watts.
when you used to eat takeaway for treats but now you cant remember when you had your last.
finally when ANYTHING processed is junk especially when it says "weightwatchers, good for you, low fat..."0 -
- you have loads of energy and want to get off the sofa because sitting on the sofa is boring
- you eat loads of calories and think you're eating for maintenance but still lose weight and get to eat more calories
- you are making fantastic progress at lifting weights and tasks that used to be impossible like changing 19litre water cannisters on the water cooler start to be easy
- you like your reflection in the mirror0 -
When you wake up every morning with an erection at 50 years old!!!0

You can't wait to get done with work so you can go home and have Jillian Michaels kick your butt through one of her various dvds. And while you are at work you spend hours researching how to make your old favorite meals healthier no matter how much your fiance despises swapping ground turkey for beef, reduced fat dairy products for regular, egg beaters for real eggs, etc.0

:laugh: a little too much information!0 -
When your snack stash at work no longer has unhealthy stuff in it and you notice that people are not longer "borrowing" it while you are not there LOL...
And when I go looking for something unhealthy to snack on at home and there is nothing there0 -
When you put on a t-shirt too small and you see muscles instead of fat.0

When your friends' definitions of lazy days include seven-hour tv marathons on the couch, while yours involves a leisurely 10k walk.0

When you look forward to a weekly long distance run! :happy:0

you can drive by every fast food place you used to love and not even give a second thought to what you are missing, but instead think how sad it is for what good things all the people inside are missing!!0

You can't wait to log in to MFP with your latest food and exercise stats!
Ditto. It has become part of my daily routine.Also, planning meals the day before and logging them in has done wonders for keeping me on track. I know I'm becoming healthy when I look forward to exercising everyday, and my idea of a "rest day" is only exercising for 30 minutes.0 -
When you wake up in the morning and you have energy to get out of bed and are happy to start the day.0

When you can walk around with that huge bag of dog food on your shoulder like it's nothing.
When your friends want you to help them with their weight loss because they can see that it's actually working for you, lol.0 -
When you actually don't want chocolate any more
Blasphemy!! True love never dies.. It just switches to the healthy version. Hehe. I am a dark chocolate fan now. I have a piece every day, worked into my cal budget.
Anyways, you know you're becoming healthier when a family member calls you to brag about the "delicious" treat they're eating and you don't crave it- not one little bit. In fact, it reminds you that you need to go get some more fruit because you're almost out.0 -
You get up at 4:30 am daily, even on Saturdays, to workout.
Yeah baby :laugh: And I put a duvet on the floor to muffle the sound of my jumps because the children are sleeping upstairs :laugh:0 -
When all you want to do is get outside and start your herb and veggie garden in order to have an abundance of goodness at your fingertips.
When your kids don't ask for fast food much anymore because of how it makes them feel
And ditto the sentiments about eating foods for the macros and not your tastebuds. I'm actually excited about seeing what I can come up with for the lima beans I'm making later.0
