    I can now run a whole mile in 12 minutes without stopping! That may not seem like much, but I've never been a good runner. Even when I was at my goal weight in high school I couldn't do that. Way to go everyone! I love this topic, so encouraging!

    I skipped having the cornbread at Boston Market today, and actually got FULL without eating everything on my plate! Trust me, that is a big thing for me- I was definitely raised to "clean your plate", so stopping when I got full was a big thing for me!

    Way to go everyone!! Today I had a mulitgrain roll with my homemade beef & barely soup with I had no butter on it!! Normally I would find a way to put 2 tablespoons on a little roll.

    I went shopping this weekend. I'm normally a pant size 26, and wear a 44DDD bra that has always been tight (finding larger is a pain in the butt). This weekend I bought two pairs of size 24 pants that fit well, and a 44DDD bra that fits comfortably!

    That is great progress, go you! I got fitted for a bra for the first time this weekend - before, I was so ashamed of my body that I'd rather measure myself than let someone else do it. My size is bigger than I thought it was, but at least now the girls are comfy. :laugh:

    I went running with my fiance and kept up with him the entire 40mins! He is 9 inches taller than me so his strides are much bigger and I haven't been able to keep up in years! :happy:

    I love this idea! As I'm a newbie as well so not a lot to show...EXCEPT the little things. Like:
    I logged everything I ate- no cheating
    Got my exercise in today - my first day...on the job, so to speak
    Turned down the extra piece of lasangna and stuck to my no 2nds rule (unless its something good for me)
    I had no candy today. (Didn't even miss it)
    Eventhough I only drink diet soda - I had none today.

    Once you get going it's really fun to realize all the great little things you did that will eventually add up to your goal!
    Thanks!

    Well done you! I done the same thing, I was dying for a pint of cider tonight but resisted the urge!

    My other little victory today was I REALLY wanted to play Call of Duty this afternoon (sad, I know) but I decided to walk 3 miles instead just so I could use the runkeeper app on my phone. To top it all off I knocked 6 minutes off my time compared to Wednesday :D

    I didn't have seconds on the dinner I made tonight even though chicken ceasar wraps are like a drug to me, instead I savored the delicious one that I had. Also I did the treadmill for an hour instead of the half hour I had planned on and that my trainer gave me as a minimum.

    My friend came over for tea today. I had left over cake from the weekend in the fridge ( hey it was my boyfriends birthday and his mom made it!) I served her up a piece. What did I have? a 45 cal lifestyle cookie. :)

    I realised yesterday that last week I was hanging around with some friends and we were standing outside these news shops where I always used to buy a crapload of chocolate and sweets every time I went, and when I was standing there and going into the shops and watching my friends buy things it didn't even occur to me to buy anything unhealthy. Normally I'd have thought "Ooh I could get a bar of chocolate" and have to internally debate getting one, most of the time giving in, but this time that thought didn't even cross my mind. (:

    Today was my first weigh in........and I lost 6 lbs!!!!!!! I know every week will not be this good but what motivation to keep plugging away!!
    I decided to get the Zumba for wii this weekend and am excited about that.I also have been wearing a pedometer to help me get my miles in and drinking so much water that I don't wanna be too far from a potty!! But all the walking back n forth to empty out is adding miles!!!! LOL Whatever works! Good Day Everyone!!!

    I used 1 teaspoon of light mayo on my sandwich, instead of 1 tablespoon of regular.
