Since joining MFP, I've not only lost weight and become more active. I've also been ...

~ going to bed at more reasonable times
~ flossing almost every night
~ using more reusable dishes during lunch (yay for brown-bagging!)
~ taking the stairs more often

What have you noticed in your daily lives that have improved since MFP?

    I've gotten better at budgeting $, I pack my lunch almost every day, the kitchen is cleaner as a general rule, and I tend not to run late, all exciting developments!

    I no longer overeat. My idea of portion size was much different from what an actual portion is. It must be from being a cajun.

    I was able to "recycle" a bunch shirts and pairs of shorts, jeans and slacks that I couldn't wear any more.

    I don't worry about close parking spaces - the further away the better!

    I definitely feel like I have been empowered to have much better control of my weight destiny. One day I thought to myself this could go one way or the other, and I have to choose every day to go for 'the other'!

    -Recycling clothes I have not fit into for 1.5 years & remembering fondly why I bought them.
    -Not uncomfortably & self-consciously pulling my shirt down over a muffin top.
    -Looking forward to washing and putting pants in the dryer *and hoping they do indeed shrink!
    -Improved overall mood and outlook.
    -More active.

    I'm glad to hear you're flossing every day--next stop--the dentist-Ang. I'll hold your hand! :)

    I didn't realize all the calories I could burn by just lightly cleaning the house...so my best habbit now is cleaning up the house or washing dishes every morning before work.
    Now I have a clean house every day (starts out that way, then gets messy again) and I feel good about being active :)

    Yay! I feel the same way. I have more confidence in myself more. I have began to take the stairs when opportunity permits me to.I have began to watch what I eat. I love the fact of keeping up with my calories and it really helps to have MFP downloaded to my phone. I look at myself more and say "Hey you look good". I do that everyday and feel good doing it.
