Good Morning Everyone, while I was waking up and being totally lazy laying in bed this morning I thought of a fun enlightening discussion I wanted to post. It is called 'I never thought I...(insert thought, Idea, action etc)'. I thought this would be a good fun motivator. Feel free to share you bad moments, good moments, and your amazing moments. lets all have a great week!

-I never thought I would reach 246lbs..oh how round I look at 5'2 :(
-I never thought I would ACTUALLY lose some of my weight. But I am, I AM LOSING WEIGHT! YAY
-I never thought I would start running..ME..RUN..those two would never have been in the same sentence unless it was followed by 'a giant hungry bear is chasing me'. But I did it..I completed one day of C25K and I can't wait to complete day #2. It was more jogging but seriously I count that as a total win.
-I never thought I would weigh more then my husband...and on the flip side after weighing more then my DH for more almost 2 years I never thought I would finally weigh less then him! This made my day. I was so happy and I have lost 2 more lbs since. :p

Your turn! Happy Tuesday everyone...

    Like Canadian just above me, I also never thought I would enjoy working out, or enjoy this journey - but I do!! I don't really enjoy being at a calorie deficit, but I really do enjoy logging my food and knowing exactly how much I am eating.

    I never thought I'd seriously injure myself playing my favorite sport, Ultimate Frisbee. It's just running around after a disc, right?! Joke's on me, one knee surgery down, one to go :p

    One a more positive note, I never thought I'd be this small! At 129 I've gone past my initial goal of 130 and although I still have some rolls to lose, I'm getting there :)

    I never thought I would look forward to working out, but if I go a few days without a Zumba class I actually get cranky...

    I never thought I would be at a healthy weight! I thought I would be morbidly obese forever because that's the only life I've ever known. Here I am almost to my goal weight, I still can't believe it. I owe it all to tracking my food here on mfp, my food scale, and of coarse my determination :)

    I never thought I would be the person organizing my friends to participate in 5K and 10K events!

    I never thought I would be 15 pounds above my 9 month pregnant weight.
    I never thought I would lose down to what I weighed the day I got married.
    I never thought I would be able to ride my bike 25 miles in one day.
    I never thought I would love my thighs.

    I KNEW I could do it- that's what made it happen (I'm a BIG believer in manifesting your dreams)-
    What I didn't dream?

    I never thought that at my age (61!) I could lose weight (29 lbs & counting) so easily
    I never thought that it would be so much fun to finally for the 1st time in my life, feel I'M in control of my body
    I never thought that my chronic knee pain would *completely* disappear!

    REALLY enjoying this thread- all of your amazing accomplishments are incredibly motivating!!!!

    Awesome thread, great job everyone!

    I never thought I'd almost be down to the weight I always put on my drivers license (160) Lol :smiley:
    I never thought size 15 pants would fit again and starting to get baggy.

    I never thought people would comment on how skinny I'm getting and worry that I'm losing too much (which I'm not, still have about 27 lbs to get to a healthy bmi).

    I never thought I could stop at one piece of chocolate lol.

    I never thought I would feel beautiful :-)
