    I got into a habit of working out almost everyday -- and now feel guilty when I don't! I'm able to walk almost 2 miles now without getting shin splints.

    I didn't meet my weight loss goal -- BUT I'm definitely moving things around because I have to wear a belt with my jeans otherwise they'll fall off me!! :flowerforyou:

    I think my dog is starting to lose weight because we've walked so much --- and really how can I say no to that face? Could you?

    I started working out May 1st.
    I've lost 9.5 lbs since then.
    I am doing cardio 3-4 days a week @ 30 minutes.
    Yesterday I purchased Power90 and I'm going to start doing that ASAP.
    For the month of June.......
    I hope to loose 10 lbs give or take and continue to educate myself of living and being a healthier person
    I also hope to inspire others and offer any support I can. Best of luck to you and feel free to add me if you'd like !!

    Thanks! I had a lot to start with. I know it will slow down but I'm taking what I can now.

    100 days of eating right and exercising with MFP and Primal Blueprint in mid-May.
    40 lbs of weight lost on MFP day 101.
    8 lbs. lost in May.
    Made it back down to what I weighed in 2005.
    Size 14 pants fit comfortably, and I can squeeze into and zip up size 12 jeans.
    I can wear my favorite trim-fit shirt again.
    My yard looks great due to the amount of "productive exercise" I've lavished on it.

    Lost 8 lb
    Reached Healthy BMI, nice to leave "overweight" and I bought my reward - new boots :bigsmile:
    Bought a new pair of jeans - old ones were falling off. New ones are Size 12 (New Zealand sizing)
    People suddenly realised I had lost weight
    Started C25K

    Super thread

    I didn't give up despite some bad weigh ins. I allowed myself some time off for holidays and fun, and then refocused, lowered my calorie goal and took it seriously again at the end of the month.

    AND I started Couch 2 5k and entered myself for a race! Who knew running could bring so much joy?! Certainly not me!

    * Lost 12 more pounds, and am now under 240 (was 305 in January)

    * completed my first 5k in < 35 minutes.

    * had to buy new belts.

    * Finished construction on new house, closed the loan, and got moved in. That's not the accomplishment so much as the fact that I did not deviate much at all from my diet in the process, which was shocking to me. I actually lost an extra few pounds rather than gained (which was what I expected to do...)

    Continued positive weight loss and I actually wore a set of clothes I haven't worn in over a year! That was a huge motivator because I miss my old lifestyle!

    I came back to MFP after being away for nearly a year.
    I've not had crisps or chocolate in two weeks

    It's not much but I'm back on MFP and feeling really positive so that's definitely my biggest accomplishment in may. :smile:

    Lost 9lbs
    Stopped eating (mostly) a bunch of crap. I did go to BK once, but really. Cold turkey wasn't happening lol.
    Found the courage to break off an engagement that had become an increasingly unhealthy relationship in the last several years
    Started to remember who I am/was/ and will be again.

    Bring it on JUNE!

    I joined MFP on May 19th and, in the last two weeks:

    - Lost 12 pounds
    - Lost 2 inches in my waist, 1 in my bust, 1.5 in my hips
    - Didn't measure my arms before I started, but they are clearly smaller and more defined
    - Completed Level 1 of the 30 Day Shred, and am 2 days into Level 2
    - Added 30-60 minutes of Eliptical Training to the 30DS 8 times
    - Stayed under my calorie goals every day
    - Enjoyed the holiday weekend without going overboard
    - Fit into a Size 10 dress I haven't been able to wear in years & got lots of compliments

    My cousin is getting married on June 18th and I am the oldest person in the wedding by 8 years (and the only one with any kids - I have 3!), so my goal is to lose another 5-6 pounds before then, to keep doing 30DS EVERY DAY and to add the eliptical for 30-60 minutes at least 10 of the next 16 days. WISH ME LUCK!!!

    In May, I ran more than 76 miles, bought new shorts in a size 6, and a new bikini from the Juniors Department in a Medium! I went to an 80s prom party wearing a prom gown I got about 23 years ago. It fit perfectly. And I finished a 5 mile race just 7 seconds behind my 25 year old niece.

    But the best feeling was making that niece, and her father (my brother) tear up when I gave her a portrait I painted of her, her hubby and their dog for a wedding present. :smile:

    In May I went to the gym every Monday, Wednesday and Friday (apart from one when I had a migraine, but that doesn't count because I wasn't slacking!!!)

    I started using MFP on 28th May.

    Well,
    -Realised that there is no more room for excuses in my life and I will take control and responsibility for everything that I'm doing from now on.

    -Spent 18 hours swimming.
    -Stayed under my daily calorie limit 95% of the time
    -Been told that my cheekbones can be seen now.)

    In June:
    -Another 8-10 lbs must go forever!
    -Rollerblades skating 5-7 times a week. I should stick to the fun part of the exercising
    -Quit smoking
    -No alcohol except red wine on special occasions.

    Thanks for reminding me to look at my successes...it's helping me to set new goals for the month of June!

    What I accomplished in May:
    1) I ran a mile without stopping around mid May...now, two weeks later, I can run for about 1.5 miles, or 20 minutes, without stopping! That is HUGE for me.
    2) increased the weight amounts on all the machines I'm using for strength training.
    3) lost 10 pounds between mid-April and mid-May, and 2% body fat!
    4) looked in the mirror and admired my muscles ;)

    My greatest NSV: I've been told by several people that I am inspiring them. Not just to lose weight, but to get fit and healthy. That felt even better than all the compliments I've received on my weight loss ;)
