I have "only lost" ..... (Insert pounds here) BUT!

I've only lost 2 lbs so far with MFP but... (6 lbs total)

I don't crave (or even want) fast food.. already!
I have been craving veggies all this week!
I can walk a mile in under 20 minutes when it used to wind me just to walk to the mailbox.
I can walk with my large dog, even when he's excited and wants to walk *me* lol.
I look forward to my work (I work outside, and walk a fair bit for it), even in the hot summer heat.
I don't sweat as much.
I am getting more motivation from threads like this and seeing all of the great stories!

I am not looking down a little tunnel with a pinhole light at the end for my goal weight. I look at where I will weigh next week, or next month and get excited about it .

Thank you all for your words of encouragement!

I have only lost 25 lbs, but
nothing has changed!!! HELP!!!!

LIAR! Think hard. Something has got to be different in your life.

I eat the same... My clothes are the same fit... and I still sleep most of the day or play video games. The only thing that has changed is I exercise a little bit more. I don't understand why I haven't lost any size in dress pants.

Then what's with the picture in your profile, showing off a pair of jeans too big? Besides, you look fabulous and happy.

My mom bought those size 12 jeans, but sadly even though they look big they fit the same...

I have only lost 24 pounds on MFP ...45 total BUT !

I have only gotten rid of 23 lbs but...

I just got married in february and I tried on my wedding dress last night and I didn't need a corset to make it zip up! ( even with the corset it was a tight fit)
I went from a 2x to an XL top and am down one pant size!
I feel more attractive!
My confidence is higher!
I can say no to all the temptations at work...every time!
I can go for 1 hour on the elliptical instead of 15 min like when I first started!

I finally feel like I can do this and have the motivation to get to my goal!

Great thread...I love...love....love it!

I have only lost 42 pounds but...

- i went from at tight 18 to 14
- can now jog for minutes at a time and not be horribly out of breath
- i am starting to accept all the compliments ive been getting
- im feeling muscles that i didnt know were there
- i have a collarbone!
- i have learned to accept help and realize i dont have to do this on my own
- have seen how many people there are going through the same thing and have never been more inspired then by the people on this site, so much inspiration!
- am making some progress on learning to love myself and not beat myself up when im not perfect and make mistakes
- no longer turn down friends offers for a walk, workout
- even though im struggling, i am not giving up. I was perfect for 4 months and lost that 40lbs in that time and now im struggling to get that determination back like i had and as much as i may falter as of late, i have faith that believing my dedication to stay on track and getting the support i need from all you wonderful people will get me to my goals. You only fail if u stop trying, and as long as it may take me, i will NOT give up this time

And to all who posted, congratulations on all your sucesses, i read every one and each one of you gave me alot of inspiration tonight. Thank you!

I have read this whole thread and it was totally worth it!

I have only lost 15 lbs (12 on here) but...

*I went from wearing about a 14 pants to a 12 but they are falling off of me now so I should move to a 10.

*My M T-shirts that I wear to work out in are getting so loose that they fall down over my but and make my legs feel restricted when I run so I don't wear them for running now.

*My upper arms are starting to show some muscle definition where it was just my forearms before.

*I wear spandex type running pants and only feel a little self conscious about my tummy (thank you c-sections) and not my butt and legs.

*I don't feel so bad when I look in the mirror

*I can add calories pretty well in my head without looking at cal info most of the time (I always check my work but I don't have too many big surprises when I enter my food).

*When I eat chocolate it's because I want to now and not because I know that it's in the house. (That is huge for me!)

*Aslso (editted to add) that now I can run over six miles (going for 7 Friday morning) at one time now without stopping when 1 mile was a huge deal in the past! Warrior Dash on 09/09/2012
