    I'm proud that I've been going for almost 90 days and I am just as motivated now as I was then.

    I've lost over 10% of my body weight and am well on my way to 20%.

    I'm more active all day.

    I am enjoying my food more and cooking interesting recipes.

    I managed to do my 50 mile April challenge by the 15th (I'm now 8.5 miles over my target)

    This is the best topic I have seen on here!
    Im proud of myself for completing 3 days of the 30 day shred (so far)! I get out of bed and think "ohh my gosh I cannot do it today im so sore" but I look at my baby girl and I think "I have to do it! I want to be able to keep up with my daughter when she starts crawling and walking!" and I do it :) I know its only 3 days but to me its such a huge step!
    KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!

    I'm proud I can jog/run, something I never imagined I would do (and I like it, too!).
    I'm proud I finally got under 200 lbs.

    I am proud of myself because I did not give up after having a torn bicep injury, (from walking a dog that lunged for a squirrel), after just getting started on my weight loss/healthier lifestyle journey. I am proud because I am back to mild exercise and tracking my calories again, and I am still down 13 pounds from the beginning of the year and I've started to lose again. I always give up after 3 - 4 weeks on a plan. Not this time, I'm sticking with it until I'm down to my goal weight. And reading everyone else's successes and what you're proud of just keeps encouraging me. Thank you all.

    I am proud of myself for working out yesterday morning, and today, even though it was reeeally hard to get out of bed!!!
    Also, I'm proud of not giving up this time, not even a little bit.
    This is the best thread ever!

    I am proud because...

    ...I can now run on a treadmill for half an hour straight.
    ...I am now wearing size 12 (UK) clothes comfortably instead of squeezing myself into them.
    ...I like what I see when I look in the mirror now, even in just my underwear.
    ...I have lost a stone and a half
    ...I know I can lose more
    ...I have made the lifestyle change I set out to make :smile:

    I am proud because I started back in Jan and haven't given up. I have maintained a 10 pound loss, have eaten better than ever (used to be a fast/junk food junkie) and am able to say 2 pieces of pizza only - instead of the entire thing. I started working out and have gradually increased how much and tried new things!

    I am really proud that at 63 I have stuck with this since June 2012 and have lost 40 lbs. I feel amazing and like the way I look now although I want to lose a bit more. My husband of 67 really fancies me! I have the beginning of abs and slim, hard thighs. I am using dumbells. I work out for an hour every day and do other exercises. I am wearing skinny jeans and tight tops! What's not to be proud of!

    I can actually go in the store, and out to eat, and say no to the junk food that my body was taking in. I am proud of myself for being able to say NO.

    I am proud of myself for not giving up even though the scale is moving really slowly. I am also proud of myself for (so far) treating this like a lifestyle change !

    I am proud that I was able to run six miles! Something that I never EVER thought I would be able to do.
    I am proud that I was able to do ONE HUNDRED REGULAR push-ups yesterday! Mixed with three minute intervals of running...I almost died yesterday. So I'm proud that I kept it up and did all ten sets, even if I had to modify it and walk instead of jog the whole time...:bigsmile:

    I am proud for sticking to it even though the scale is not showing me any real progress. I am proud that I still plan my meals daily and do my workouts and give it 100% (which is hard doing turbofire). I keep pushing play everyday and for that I am proud and confident that the results will come.

    I'm proud of myself because

    1- I haven't been this close to my initial goal weight in 10 years.
    2- Instead of giving in when it got hard, I kept on going.
    3- I actually want to do this now, instead of making myself
    4- When people start commenting, I ignore them and go on!

    When I get discouraged, I like to think about these things. It really picks me up!
