    I stuck to my menu plans, reduced my sodium intake some more, drank oodles of water and made myself get involved on these support forums.

    I am proud of the following:
    1) I stayed within my calories every single day.
    2) I worked out for at least 20 minutes for 3 days. Considering I never exercise that is big for me.
    3) I planned out my days and packed my lunch and snacks every day (except Friday which was planned)
    4) I lost 4.6 pounds. I know it is a lot of water weight but I can see the difference.
    5) Someone ask me if I was losing weight.

    I had set out a Coke for dinner sometime this week, yet without thinking about it, I drank water instead... I was so amazed after I realized what I had done. :drinker:

    I rode 51 miles this week on my bike! And hit the 100 mile mark since I bought it! And my husband thought I'd never ride it.

    I'm proud that despite my anxiety issues I left my house after getting in from work and went swimming again this week, I also managed 16 lengths(better than the 12 last week but I haven't swam properly for over 10 years) and I lost nearly 2lbs. Oh and whilst not related to MFP i'm really proud that 2 beautiful ducklings hatched out in our incubator this week, most of the credit has to go to the ducks of course :bigsmile:

    I worked out a total of 10 hours this past week. That's a pretty cool accomplishment for a 60 year old with a torn meniscus, arthritis, a pinched sciatic nerve and fibromyalgia! So, I feel proud!

    I have had a great week for a change.

    1. I am now over weight, no longer obese

    2. My 10 plus year old skirt and jeans now fit.

    3. I have made better choices in snacks

    4. I went over my calories one day and honestly logged it.

    5. Avoided tempation at the grocery store check out.

    I finally joined the gym, did my induction on Monday and stayed for over an hour afterwards to try out some of the equipment, then went back for another hour after work on Wednesday. I'm hoping to go at least once or twice a week from now on, and start going swimming on a regular basis too.

    Ran 6 miles for the first time yesterday, which I set as my goal to achieve before looking into running a 10k. So I signed up for my first 10k this upcoming Saturday. Can't wait!

    Great topic and a great thing to think about on a Sunday. I went into the heavy weight room in the gym on my own for the first time. Something to celebrate!

    Updated my MFP goals for losing the last bit of weight before maintenance. Started replacing my exercise pants with smaller sizes. Shopped for good food and planned for meals and snacks. Planned lessons and taught five high school English classes. Went to church yesterday and sang when I wasn't feeling it at first. Spent the day with my dog in the park and found a new dermatologist. Ran or did circuit training every day throughout the week, and did yoga twice. Got up twice for karaoke last night and met some cool new people. Thank God I was able to do all this!

    I did real (not modified) push-ups this week for the first time since high school.
    I tried on clothes at the mall and can now wear a size I haven't worn since high school.
    I reached the 3 week mark sticking to my MFP calories, my hasfit exercise plan and walking my dogs every day since restarting.
    I have kept my blood sugar in range for the same 3 weeks.
    I've worked hard to eat a variety of foods and experiment with recipes so I don't burn out.

    Nice thread

    I have been at this for a few months now, had a good week for milestones:
    1) Total lost over 25 lbs
    2) BMI went from morbidly obese to "just" obese

    It feels even better when you know you're doing it the right way, in a good mindset. Happy Sunday

    I am proud than today I did not over eat. I am also proud that despite not feeling up to it at all, I dragged myself out of bed and got through today's insanity workout. It was a serious challange but I managed to get through it. I cried a little, but I finished it lol :)

    My husband and I finally told ourselves to stop making excuses, pull up our dingy carpet, and put wood caps on our stairs!
