It has been 7 months since I started my weightloss journey. Half a year, really? It has been over half a year! I have stuck with it. I was thinking today 7 months ago things were really different. So I thought I would share some of those things I didn't realize or didn't think I could do, for some of those just starting.

So I have lost 40 pounds! Yay.

I never thought my goal would be so close. I set a goal of 155. I am at 158 now and changing my goal to 145.

I never thought I would say "hunny, we need more celery" yup told hubby that yesterday!

I never thought I would enjoy working out, especially something like Insanity!

I never thought I would get up early to workout!

I never thought I would stop wearing make up! No need for it any more.

I never thought I would rather buy new workout clothes than regular clothes!

I never thought I would say "no thank you" for cookies, donuts, ect.

I never thought I would weigh less than I did when I started my job 5 years ago!

I never thought I would have all these amazing people help support me! I love MFP!

So those are my realizations I had today! Feel free to share yours!

Jen

    That is very motivating to hear, thanks for sharing! I am just starting on my weight loss efforts and I hope that half a year from now, I will be so close (or at) my goal.

    I never thought I would crave peaches and grapes
    I never thought I would look forward to exercise
    I never thought I would join a gym again
    I never thought I would lose 77 lbs
    I never thought I would be able to get back into my size 12-14s
    I never thought I would prefer water over soda
    I never thought I would love a group as much as I do MFP
