Let's encourage ourselves and each other with some positive self statements. Please share at least one thing you did this week that was healthy or positive. Brag about yourself!
I postponed a dinner reservation. I already went over my calories one day this week and I don't want to do that two times in one week. Its not the I'll never go to this restaurant; I'm planning on going in a few weeks. I just know that if I want to reach my goal, I need to keep the special occasion dinners special and not over do it. I'm proud of myself for staying balanced.

I will be getting measured for new(smaller) uniforms today(finally) after being egged on by coworkers about how 'frumpy' I look.
I estimate I will be about 3 sizes smaller than I am now!16 -
I volunteer for a few committees at work that focus on employee engagement and social connections. I feel that the work I do makes the workplace a more enjoyable place to be and that my positive attitude sets a good example.10

I was incredibly stressed yesterday as it was results day for my degree and I really wasn't feeling going to the gym, but I still went! My session started out with me crying on the cross trainer but I felt so much better at the end. I got a 2.1 in my degree so yesterday was a good day!7

I passed by the mirror this morning and noticed that my abs are looking nice. Got some definition going on.

I can wear bright red skinny jeans and not feel self-conscious.

I went to a bar last night with my volleyball teammates after our game and did not eat because it would push me over my calorie budget.
I am officially down 15lbs since May 1st though!11 -
I normally do my bellydance exercise when I wake up, but MFH had to go to the dentist, so instead of just not doing it today, I made a game out of it. I will be doing my workout at 11pm, one hour before the next days begins....its gonna be wicked to cheat time and win!!3

I did my weight training last night, and normally do ~15 minutes of cardio on weight training days. Well, I was feeling good so I ended up doing 40 minutes of cardio in addition to the weight training. I also bicep curled the 60 pound bar once!3

Despite my DH even offering to drive me to get a chocolate sundae, I did NOT give in to intense cravings last night, and finished the day under my calorie goal.4

Most positive, you say?

Even though I really didn't feel like it, I got up at 5:15 this morning and did the 3-mile Walk Away the Pounds....also, I can finally fit into a cute red dress that's been hanging in my closet for a while! I'm taking it to the cleaners today so I can wear it on Saturday. Yay!12

As of today, I've lost a little more than 9.5 lbs in 22 days. More than 40 lbs lost since starting my journey.
On Monday, I fit into jeans I bought when I was at my lowest weight ever. And my personal trainer said I look like I lost weight.
I bought four new swimsuits to try on and I even went for a skimpy triangle top bikini, which I've never been comfortable wearing.
And I'm feeling sexy!!!!!!6 -
I ve lost 86lb. After moving from the UK to California to marry the love of my life..Im meeting his family for the first time at a wedding in Washington in three weeks....and I will be wearing high heels for the first time in 5 years...14

Just started up yesterday and I'm happy to say that at 3:30pm, I'm only 1026 steps short of 10,000 - and I'll be over that before going to bed. Got up and walked for 30 minutes this morning. I'm on my way and just doing it! Yay!!!!5

I totally did the weight training today I was dreading, along with a bunch of 2-minute planks. I didn't want to do it and I sweated like a pig, but I did it, and now I feel great and proud. Also I lost 5lbs the past 2 weeks.2

Even though I worked from 7 a.m. to 5:00 and had to be at a meeting at 7:00 p.m., I crammed in a gym session (and a shower
). 2 -
I fit a 3-mile walk into my lunch break at work, and also did a 90-minute extreme thai pads class tonight (without collapsing!). My class partner said my shoulders and arms are looking more defined. And I'm down 8kg/17lb since May 1st. Oh, and I cooked the most amazingly delicious dinner all by myself (this is a big achievement as I am normally useless in the kitchen!) and still stayed under my calorie goal (even without taking the exercise into account).
P.S. Well done everyone, some awesome positives here!3 -
The photo that inspired me to FINALLY try to lose significant weight was me in shorts on a cruise a couple years ago. This weekend, I decided to take another one to see if I could see a difference--especially in my legs, which I've always hated. So glad I did--here are the pics. My legs, though still the same shape, have gotten significantly smaller--it's a miracle!!

I've come to the realization that I've been perpetuating my past by playing the victim. This is a huge insight into my behavior, and I've been able to start breaking some old patterns by reminding myself that I am not a victim of my situation. It feels nice 4

I've made it to week 7 day 2 of C25K and I DID IT!! I cried when I finished W6D3... and now I'm going out and running 25 minutes without stopping!
I'm slow af and don't even care.. I'm doing it!! In a million years, I would have never imagined myself running!
Oh.. and not on my "official" weigh day yet, but looks like I've lost 50 lbs so far. w00t!
(edited to reflect WEEK 7, not 5.. I got too excited typing)3 -

Today I am wearing work pants that were a little snug when I bought them, just a week or two before I went back to work (after being SAHM 2 years). But, I told myself when I bought them that they will fit eventually. Today, it has been exactly 1 month since I started my job and I wore them for the first time today- and they fit just great!3

this whole thread is just one giant stream of wonderful things. I'm smiling at all of your victories and achievements. Totally bookmarking this bad boy for inspiration.0
