1. Joined MFP and started logging my exercise/food intake regularly

3. Started exercising with my husband
4. Lost pounds and inches; fit into clothes I haven't worn in years
5. Started new exercise routines that are more suited to my personality0 -
Losing 40lbs since August! Even though I have a bit left, with it came a higher self esteem and with that came good grades this last semester. =]0

1. I took a risk and tried Zumba. I finally wasn't afraid of looking foolish/sweaty.
2. Risks continued - spinning, boot camp, body pump, running and weight lifting. I ran my first 5K in 38 minutes and my second in 36 min.
3. Became serious about logging food and exercise.
4. Lost 21 pounds so far, along with 8 inches.
5. I am slimmer/fitter now than I was before I had my son (2010) and before my wedding (2008).
Here's to an even more successful 2013 for everyone!0 -
1. Joined MFP; best health decision ever, bar none. Tracking calories makes all the difference in the world. And the stories here keep me interested and motivated.
2. Got back into running.
3. Got back into exercising in general. I actually enjoy doing exercise videos at home, and I've got quite a library to choose from now.
4. Trying to do more (heavy-ish) lifting and less cardio (but still keeping a balance between the two, which for me is part of enjoying exercise).
5. Started paying attention to my macros and specifically trying to increase protein.0 -
After giving birth to my second baby...
1. Got back on MFP to track my calories
2. Started working out with the goal of having my pre-pregnancy body back
3. Started eating healthier than ever in my life0 -
1. started hot yoga
2. started growing herbs and sprouts at home
3. transitioning back to vegan (from vegetarian)
4. tracking my calories and nutrients here0 -

2012 Was ups and downs...downs for now but looking forward to a new month and year soon!!!!
1) Started back in April after a 1.5 year hiatus
2) Walked/Jogged a 10k early June.
3) Started doing weekly runs in June until shin splints stopped me but I had ran over 7 minutes straight without stopping
4) Completed the Warrior Dash and realized I need to be in MUCH better shape to do it again in 2013. (Upper body strength and better core strength)
5) as of today 12/28/12...I have FINALLY found a FISH that I will eat!!!! I absolutely HATE fish (the fishy smell/taste) puts me off but I wanted to find a fish that I would like because I know it's amazingly good for you. I have found that I enjoy Tilapia! (Good fish if you don't like the fishy taste peeps!)0 -
1) Taught myself how to eat healthy
2) quit smoking/drinking(as much as i used to)
3) Learned how to set goals for myself (lifting)0 -

Tilapia is a fantastic mild fish, have you tried orange roughy or swordfish? I'm not a 'fish' person either but all three of these!0 -
1) Cut off certain friends, they were triggering.
2) Stop making excuses for why I couldn't recover.
3) Learn to love myself for who I am, still working on this one.
4) Stopped engaging obsessive behaviour, overexercising, restricting, etc.
5) I started putting my needs above everyone elses, this was so hard for me because I live to please and help others but I needed to focus on myself and what I need in order to progress as far as I have in recovery.0 -
