What is something that you have accomplished or feel great about that happened this last week about your health that you would love to scream about on the top of the mountains?

Mine: My husband was rubbing my tummy this morning and said, "Honey, your stomach is getting so flat!" Oh God I love him so! :)

    This week I officially made it into the Healthy BMI range! It's been awhile since I've been there, and I'm so glad I'm back. :)

    Welcome back! That is great!!! I still haven't hit mine, lol. How long do you think it took you to hit your BMI range?

    Well..I had my baby 16 months ago and I was in the obese range right after I had him. But I really didn't get serious about getting into shape until this past month or two. So even though I lost about 50lbs after I had Liam, I wasn't doing it on purpose so my time frames are slightly off. But since I've joined this site about a month ago..I've been watching what I ate and started to really exercise, and I reached a healthy BMI in about 1.5 months.

    1) My mother told me she could almost see my waistline again.
    2) My husband told me I feel lighter.
    3) I managed to get into a pair of shorts I have not been able to wear in a year - and do them up!

    Ha! My bf is actually not so happy that I am losing my curves.

    Things that I am happy to brag about...

    For one, I am working out! I had a gym membership for about 8 months and literally only used it 3 times. How sad is that. This month I started going to the gym, and now I am on this constant endorphin high...I count the minutes until I can go back and get another workout in.

    Secondly, I got to wear some knee high boots today that I bought 3 years ago that never really fit me properly around the calf, at least until today! I was so happy that I could zip them up without feeling like I had a tourniquet fastened to my leg, haha.

    I wore a pair of jeans for the ENTIRE day! Usually I go out in them and then change immediately upon getting home, right into those sweats. Not today :laugh:

    I have a few,
    First, I got admitted into Advanced Muay Thai classes at my gym. They are invite only
    Second, I bought $400 worth of clothes that I couldn't wear in middle school. They are size 32x32 pants and medium shirts.
    Third, I finally weigh under 200 pounds! I don't remember ever being under 200 pounds! I come in around 198.
    Fourth, I finally went out on a date! It has been forever since I went on one. And might I say, she is a fantastic lady!

    I don't even have a pair of jeans! It will be one thing I am adding to my wardrobe when I have lost the weight!

    I've lost 8 lbs this month since starting MFP. I have yet to exercise. I have strictly been watching everything I put in my mouth and getting the water down. I can't wait to see what happens when I start exercising!

    I finished 2 days of the 4th week of my C25K program....both days I wanted to quit before I was done, especially yesterday. OMG, it was so hard for me. But I made myself finish and I'm so proud of myself that I did!

    I'm stuck in a hotel for 3weeks with no way to prep food...so I'm happy to have found out where the gyms are located, where the pool is and walked around my immediate area and found lots of local cafes with local grown healthy menus and my first meal was salad and I generally hate salad. But I still have 50lbs to go and I'm determined to lose like 10 while I'm gone...haha. Plus I found where a good local OA meeting is..

    Yesterday I ran 6.5 miles (just over 10k) on the treadmill set to do random inclines. This was a huge milestone for me, as I've never been a runner. That was by far the longest run I've ever done and it felt amazing. Oh, and on top of that I also did another 2 miles of hiit earlier that morning. I think joining this site and getting caught up in all the positive energy was a real driving factor for me to really push myself this week.

    1. My mom keeps commenting on how my waist is so much smaller and my face is getting slimmer
    2. I tried my prom dress on (for July xD) which was way too tight when I first bought it and now it fits just right! I'm aiming to have it tailored down by July.
    3. I ordered the 30 day shred and intend on starting it when it comes.
    4. I managed to maintain my weight over 3 days, which although is not a loss, its better than a gain. :)
    5. All my size 14 jeans are ridiculously big on me (but sadly cant fit into a size 12 just yet)

    my boyfriend has made comments about how I "look so good". I am happy about that! and I also feel like since exercising and eating right again, my skin has been much nicer (I have eczema) I think it's paritally sweating (good for skin), and my diet changes. I have also not gotten any zits (I hardly got them before, but i'd usually have a small one somewhere on my face) I am loving it so much!
