    I am proud of myself for staying with an exercise regime I love for almost two years.

    I am proud of myself for understanding the connection between eating right/exercising/good health.

    I am proud of myself for never falling victim to the many, many diet scams that are out there -- opting for hard work and determination instead.

    I am proud of OTHERS for their commitment, hard work and determination.

    Great Post!!

    I am proud because, now that I have started here, I have also began a quest to eat healthy and cleaner which in turn has caused me to begin recycling and gardening. I now have a plastics bag, a bottle bag, a compost container, and a burn pile. My trash has gone down considerably, i no longer use foam plates or plastic cups, and I have some georgeous tomato plants started with some squash and others to follow this weekend. It is totally changing my life!!

    I'm proud because I'm over half-way to my goal weight and have lost 21lb in less than 4 months.

    I'm proud because I have stuck to - and increased - my exercise since January - longest time ever I have done this, and the most exercise I've ever done in a week, even when I was very young and doing dance classes 4 times a week.

    I'm proud because for the first time in my life I actually look for exercise rather than avoid it.

    I'm proud that clothes I bought before Christmas will be heading to the charity shops.

    And I'm slightly ashamed I doubted my PE teachers who used to say things like "If you do more you'll have more energy":blushing:

    I am proud of myself I am stronger and have more energy.:tongue:
    I am proud of myself because I recognize that I can do this.:wink:

    I'm proud I completed 30 Day Shred
    I'm proud that even though I've stalled recently, I'm not giving up
    I'm proud I exercise 5-6 days a week after years on the couch
    I'm proud I don't need energy drinks anymore

    I needed this list today, I was having one of those, "Why do I bother?" days. :tongue:

    I'm proud of myself because this was MY decision and unlike so many my age, I'm not turning to diet pills or dangerous crash diets. Heck, I even found out I like spinach so I can eat salads!

    I am proud because now I'm at my highschool weight, I'm still on MFP eating healthy instead of 'celebrating' my loss. I'm specially proud I finally started working out(using the elliptical I bought 3 years ago + some rollerblading)

    I am proud of myself for sticking to this. I lost 40 lbs before and gained half back before finding mfp and changing my life. I have stayed focused and tried my best to not get frustrated. I have learned to not just rely on the scale for results. I am proud of myself for having the strength and courage to face my fear of the hard work it takes to lose weight. I am proud that I am almost at my goal weight.

    I am also proud of all my friends who log in every day and have made a choice to change their lives too.

    Awesome!, you guys deserve to feel proud. ^^, I found I have trouble enjoying music when I'm not on the treadmill walking, which is motivation to get on it since I love music!

    I am proud because last night I did 3 miles on the treadmill and lifted weights. Usually I am doing good to do 2 miles but I made myself do 3 and then lifted also. It was the longest time I have spent in the gym, but today I feel so proud of myself.

    I'm proud because:

    -I started back at it in mid-January @ 192 lbs and this morning weighed 165 lbs. (27 lbs!)
    -I started (and got hooked on) lifting heavy in mid-Feb.
    -I completed my first 5K mud run on Saturday and finished, even with an injury.
    -I get frustrated and irritable when I can't do more than a low impact workout. (It used to be I'd get irritable when I had to do ANY workout.)
    -At 47 years of age, I am starting to look as good as all my younger friends! (Altho, I do have a chunk to go, yet.)

    I'm proud that I've gotten to the point where working out is a habit and I don't find it any more difficult to motivate myself to do it than I do to go to work or brush my teeth. It's just something I do most days, and I enjoy it.

    I'm proud that yesterday I did overhead presses for the first time. I didn't think I could do that with the big Olympic bar but I did!
