I got on the scale the other day and I had lost another 3 lbs. Not bad, not much, but w/e. However that 3 lbs. put me over the half way point of my weight loss goal!! Which feels amazing!! I've come this far and can't wait to finish what I've started!! Another small triumph for me happened this week as well. When I had plans to go out one night so therefore was going to have to skip going to the track that evening with my friend, I was sad that I wouldn't be jogging that day. I enjoy jogging now! Me who just a year ago was miserable and out of breath fast-walking!! :)
Just wondering what other people's small triumphs are/have been. Because to me that's what motivates me everday!

    I hear ya! Recently I started adding jogging to my walks - just short intervals at first because I was so outta shape. The other night I jogged almost a 1/2 mile without stopping - sure felt awesome and I wasn't totally "wiped out" either!!

    I'm going to write this in anticipation of tomorrow's weigh in... :)

    GETTING UNDER 200 LBS WILL BE THE BEST LITTLE TRIUMPH I CAN THINK OFF. Today the scale read EXACTLY 200 lbs just to spite me. I'll get him tomorrow though!

    I love the "small triumphs." They are what lead us to the goal! I've just started (again) and an hour fast walk is a triumph to me. Logging my meals is a triumph! I'm on the uphill path...at last!

    A great triumh is actually the sum of a several small triumphs.. ;-) I´m glad to be part of this journey we all share; and for me - a person that used to HATE exercise in every shape it came - I cannot live without it now...

    Thank you for sharing and as a previous person said:
