What goals did you meet (weight/fitness/health)? What were your best NSV's? What are your goals for June?

Rules for this thread:
Please only post positive things. No whining about unmet goals, however; you may mention them as goals for next month. :)

I'm having a rough week, and I'd just really like to see a long list of positive things here. i hope those who are too shy to start their own success topic, will at least reply here. And those who already posted their success stories may repost here as well!

    I ran for 1 hour straight, and I've never done that before, I love running!
    Also, I threw out all my clothes from last summer as they do not fit me :)

    I started my new lifestyle on May 10 and since then, I've lost 7lbs! Two out of the three weeks I did next to no exercise because I injured my ankle exercising but I still managed to be under my calorie goal 99% of the time. :) Yay me!

    For June, I'm trying to start off slowly so I don't injure myself again! My goal is to walk 60 miles this month and start incorporating some strength training. :)

    started mfp may 1st and I lost 9 pounds. the goal was 10, but i am very happy with the 9. 12 more pounds gets me to my goal of 150 by my birthday June 27. its a lot, but i know i can dig deep and do it. i have learned a lot this month and after reviewing my progress charts and going over my mistakes, i know where to focus to get this done in the month of June.

    I'm hoping to lose 11 lbs in June!:) In May after going through a major personal life shift, instead of turning to food to medicate, I made a lifestyle change and have stuck to it for 4 + weeks! I'm so thankful for my faith and the support or my family and friends. I know I'm just starting out but I'm looking forward to seeing even more positive changes in the future!

    Happy healthy livin for all of you in June!

    God bless

    For may I met my goal of losing 5 lbs. I entered into the Healthy zone of the BMI. I fit into 2 dresses and 4 bikinis nicer than previously, I also lost another 1/2 inch off each thigh and 1/4 inch off each upper arm (those are my 2 trouble zones) so I was thrilled.

    My goal for June is to lose another 5lbs (and hopefully the bikinis and dresses will fit even better) I want to finish month 2 of my 2nd round of P90X and hopefully see some good results regarding my muscles. I want to try and eat more non meat dishes this month and successfully go to several functions without majorly pigging out.

    I made an account on Sunday May 22nd. Start date was Monday the 23rd. Between when I weighted myself (Sunday night) and the end of may I lost 7 pounds!!!! That is 7 pounds in 9 days. And exercised a lot and ate a lot (but mostly healthy!) and was never hungry for munchy food (that alone is a HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE accomplishment!)

    I lost 20 lbs. I ran 11 miles. My new "short" run on busy days is 5 miles (as opposed to 2). I fit in some old clothes. As for June, I'm just going to keep on being awesome! :)

    1) Joined MFP and love it!
    2) Lost a little over 3 pounds
    3) Overcame several days of bad eating and got back on the wagon!

    Goals for June: hit 176 pounds by my birthday! (currently 180)
    Best NSV: realizing that the scale doesn't matter so much as how I feel.
