Why are you proud of yourself?

Turtle1794

Say something that makes you proud of yourself in your dieting experience, maybe you are running more, maybe you lost 10 lbs, anything! :]

Mine is : I'm proud of myself because I could never diet past 3 weeks, and here I am on my 6th week, with 13 lbs gone. I can finally run a lap without stopping, which in the beginning I couldn't even run half a lap without gasping for air.

So, what things make you proud of yourself? ^-^

I'm proud that I fit into my first pair of "goal pants"! There's always the fear when you buy something slightly smaller than you can currently wear that you won't actually get there, but I did it! I'm looking forward to having them be too big on me now

I am proud of myself for not giving up. I started losing weight (this time) October 4, 2012 and while I have been stuck at a plateau for almost 60 days I have not given up. I am working on taking better care of myself and my goal is to be in better at 45 than I was at 35. I have crohns and with my bad days it would be easy to give up. But no, I have not given up! I will not give up. That almost means more than the weight I have lost. I will not give up.

I'm proud because I passed the Brazil Butt Lift pencil test . . . :happy:

I am proud of my self for making a commitment
for better health
18 # gone so far
tracking (on paper) fat, calories, fiber intake
for focusing on better health and weight loss, not specifically on losing a certain amount by a certain date
at this moment for not feeling overwhelmed by goal weight - set higher than really needs to be knowing that I can adjust
for being kind to my self and trying to focus on positive thoughts
for focusing on how far I have come, not how far I have to go

I've shaved 52 seconds off my fastest time from two weeks ago.

in the past month I've eaten more protein consistently for longer than ever before
(I was all about high fiber before, so this feels like the opposite)
I'm consistently getting my workouts done, I've missed only 1 or 2 in the past several weeks,
i'm a constant procrastinator especially with exercise, so that is huge, and always where
I get off track.
and I've lost more than 10 inches from all over my body in that month.
and i've convinced several mfp friends and my mom to lift more or heavier.
first mfp, then the world! :bigsmile:

I'm proud that I am in my 4th week of a jogging program. I never thought I would enjoy it so much and I am proud that I go outside and jog 3xs/week religiously.

I am proud of myself because I am almost to my 20 lbs mark.
I am also proud of myself because at 163 lbs I am fitter than my little 18 yr old, 135 lb sister.

i was thinking about this earlier...
I'm proud that I've been able to start taking care of myself and cooking my own food. Also that I have finally been using MFP regularly... and lastly that nobody forced me to do any of this and I'm making decisions on my own.

I can almost do a push-up!

I exceeded my goal this month, and I am feeling healthier every day!

How did you know I was proud of myself just now? I have been getting back into my exercise routine with a new job and subsequent schedule changes and felt it was time for a new step of slipping in some small walks in the days I am busiest. So today I just did it. I walked for 12 minutes before going to work and 23 more affter dinner with my husband. Hopefully I will keep this up.

The fact that I miraculously was able to progress from running a scant .96 miles to 3.66 in just two weeks. 30DS did a lot to prepare me for distance running, IMO.

I'm proud of myself because I am travelling this week and I packed my sneaks and usual work out gear... I ACTUALLY USED IT! Did a 20 minute walk on the treadmill... yay!

Tough Mudder here I come!!

I'm proud of myself that I passed a number on the scale recently that has alluded me since 1991. And that I no longer have "skinny clothes". All my clothes are too big! I love the way I'm looking and can't wait for the next size!

I'm back to my positive self, I'm making myself accountable to buring calories 4 or 5 times a week and not make any excuses. I'm fitting clothes better and I like the pain I get from working out
