It's a good habit to count our blessings and look back on the awesome results you've had since starting MFP. How many sizes did you move down? How often do you get compliments now? Were you finally able to cut back on maintenance medicine? Write the best 3!
I'll start:
1) My knees don't hurt anymore when I hike.
2) The compliments definitely upped my confidence.
3) I don't feel as hot and sweaty and tired as before!

With you on number 3... but I'll add:
1.) Increased range of movement and energy (combined with light stretching/yoga)
2.) Decreased appetite and cravings
3.) Dropped 2 'sizes', from XXL to L and got to go out and buy all new tight fitting clothes and am willing to wear just a t-shirt when I gout out, instead of hiding in XXL shirts and hoodies.0 -
My diabetes is under control and I may have my meds lowered.0

1. Stopped taking Prilosec, don't need it anymore
2. Tons more strength and energy
3. Take less thyroid meds than before0 -
1. I no longer have to take heartburn meds, high blood pressure meds and a beta blocker because my heart was beating too fast.
2. I have energy through the roof!
3. I rediscovered my collar bones and I love shopping for clothes now that show them off.0 -
Just 3? Wow, I could probably name 100
1) I became a runner and I love it. Running has kept me sane.
2) I receive way more compliments, thus increading my confidence
3) I have met some really incredible people on here and created bonds that I am so extremely grateful for.0 -
1. I'm down from a size 42 pants with the comfortable stretch waist to straight 36 (and 34 in some).

I have dropped to a UK size 8 (US size 4) from a UK size 16/18 (US size 12/14).
I am the fittest I have been in 25 yrs.
I have managed to shed some of the emotional baggage that led to me getting fat in the first place0 -
1) I think my skin looks better -- smoother, softer, more even. It could just be that I'm happier, though, and liking myself better now that I'm working on myself.
2) I'm happier. I feel good about what I'm doing for my body and the endorphins from the exercise are really making me feel great.
3) I'm getting to the point with my fitness where being active helps me de-stress. I am SO excited to try my new strength exercises today when I get home from work today.
I think, in general, I am a data-driven person and I have never had an eating and exercising plan that was based on data before. I am enjoying myself so much more than I did 6 weeks ago because I have a goal and have measurable ways of achieving that goal.0 -
1)It's nice to have clothes be comfortable again.
2)I enjoy mirrors again.
3)I'm not ashamed to have my shirt off.0 -

1. I was taken of of cholesterol meds.

Have met and been so lucky to have the ongoing support of some really great friends on my friends list!0 -
Some amazing answers on here. For me I'm no longer pre-diabetic, I don't hurt all the time anymore, I really like shopping for pretty things to wear now since I went from a 22 to a 12/14 so far.0

2) Saw an old friend for the first time in years this weekend & he was speechless
3) I'm now the same weight as when I was a 23 year old gym rat0 -
I was advised to lift heavy. OmG! Heavy lifting has done more for my sport (kick boxing) in a couple months than YEARS of light lifting! I'm just amazed!
I am down to my fighting weight/weight class with out all the hassle. MFP makes it idiot proof to lose weight the right way. I didn't know to weigh my food before now. It makes a HUGE difference in how much I can eat without worrying if I'm going under/over.
Met some amazing, inspiring people and saw some amazing, inspiring pics. It was personal success at it's finest, sans a sales pitch for BS. Epic GIFs, No really, Epic GIFs (I know that was actually 4 things!)0 -
1.) I lost 3 pants sizes.
2.) I don't get winded from just walking anymore.
3.) I can fit comfortably in a movie theater seat now.

1. My face and skin are no longer greasy. Goodbye uncontrollable acne.
2. I actually see improvement when I look into the mirror, not disappointment.
3. I am starting to gain self confidence, something that I have never possessed in my entire life.
Can't wait to see what the rest of my journey holds!0 -
1.) I have more energy, its crazy but I enjoy it. :-)
2.) The more weight I lose the less my back hurts.
3.) Overall my mental health is greater. I'm stronger emotionally and I am not afraid to try on pants anymore and I have better control over what I eat and feel good about it.0 -
1. I feel comfortable in my skin again
2. I can finally walk in heels (less weight to carry + better leg muscles)
3. Walking the dogs is fun because I can actually go for 3 miles without being exhausted0 -
1) My anxiety has lessened
2) When I look down at my thighs/legs in size 12 jeans, or M athletic shorts, it looks like someone else's body to me
3) My back fat (enormous rolls) went away0
