I can bench 160 with my legs on the decline squat machine (I dunno if this is a lot.... but it's a bit jump for me personally).
I can also eat 1,200 calories without feeling like I'm starving to death. Yay for body adaptations!*LOL*
I can log calories in MFP without feeling like it's tedious and a chore.

I can go to the park and play with my Grandkids and not just have to sit and watch!

I am confident when I meet new people and see old friends.

I am still working on it but I can feel very good about how far I have come.0 -
I can tie my shoes! No more cramming my feet into already-tied shoes! The first day I realized that was a huge happy dance!
I can't ride on the recumbent bike anymore b/c I don't have enough fat to keep my tailbone from rubbing on the seat and getting raw.0 -
A year ago I could barely run a 30 second interval...now I am planning to complete my first half marathon on 1/23/2011!!0

I can run 2 miles and am on my way to being able to run a 5k. This is huge for me, I never thought I would be able to run. I look forward to exercise rather than dread it.0

I can park where ever I want and not worry about how far it is to walk. I LOVE this freedom, do you know how many spaces are in the back of parking lots??!??!

I jogged 1.25 miles without stopping! I was really proud of myself because I've NEVER been a runner. My pace was very slow, but all that mattered to me was that I kept going!0

In just the 2 weeks I've been at this I can:
Do 40 minutes on the treadmill 5x/week (before I could BARELY do 20 minutes and I would do it maybe twice a week. Usually not at all)
Count my calories and easily stay under my goal (never thought I'd count calories or become a health nut)
Not have any desire to go back to poor eating habits. Looking at some of the foods I was previously consuming just disgusts me now. It's not tempting at all. More like sickening.
I can't wait to be able to get about to 5k/day (right now I'm at 2k per day)
It's amazing how many changes you can make in such a short amount of time. It makes you think "why in the *BLEEP* was I not doing this all along?!"0 -
This is so inspirational! Bump0
