    I never thought I'd enjoy a salad without a ton of Ranch dressing, but I do.
    I never thought I'd lose 8.8 lbs in one month, but I did.
    I never, NEVER thought I'd feel confident about losing 100 lbs, but I do...and I still have 91 to go. But with the help of MFP supporters, I TOTALLY think I can do this! It's the coolest thing!

    I never thought I'd be getting up at 5:30 in the morning to go to the gym 5 days a week! Or that I'd even have a gym membership to begin with!

    Or, that I would look forward to exercising, and wouldn't mind sweating so much! Really? Me?!
    ^^this is mine except getting up at 3:30 am to go to the gym O.o
    Also I never thought I would go a day with out soda let alone 7 months without one :)

    I NEVER though I would, but NOW I eat to exercise, rather than exercising to eat'. Healthy food choices are now just how I roll :D

    I never thought fish would be a part of my diet but now it is. That alone proves how committed I am to this.

    I never thought I could do Staggard Hand Stacked Feet push ups but I have.
    I never thought I'd WILLINGLY get out of bed to work out.
    I never thought I'd be lifting weights and loving it, but I do.
    I never thought I would be almost okay with the scale not moving because my body is shedding inches, but it is and I am..well I'm getting there.

    - Feel uneasy when I go a day without working out instead of dreading having to do it
    - Run shirtless and not worry the whole time that everyone's judging me
    - Be proud of the progress I've made!

    Awesome topic idea! =D

    I never thought I could be as determined as I am now.
    I never thought sliced cucumbers would sound/taste better than potato chips.
    I never thought I wouldn't drink diet Pepsi.
    I never thought I could walk 7.5 miles one day and then 5 miles the next day and then look forward to tomorrows walk.
    I never thought I could read about others success without the green eyed monster looming up and making me feel inadequate so I'd sabotage myself. Reading others success stories makes me feel proud that I WILL BE in that group.

    What a great place MFP is....thanks Everyone!

    I never thought I would be able to set my elliptical at the highest resistance setting possible and push through it for an hour.
    I never thought I would enjoy it.
    I never thought I would work out instead of napping (all parents to young babies will understand this privilege).

    I never thought the term skinny would be directed towards me. (Still seems weird at times.)
    I never thought I would wear a bikini.
    I never thought I would enter, let alone complete a half marathon, but have now done 3.
    I never thought I'd care as much about myself to finally start to change my life.

    I never though I would have lasted 8 months on MFP. I always gave up in the first 1-3 months, but no this time. This is the longest I've kept up with a weight loss journey:flowerforyou:

    :drinker: "I can't believe it! I NEVER thought I would develop a passion for living a healthier lifestyle, but NOW I am!" I decided to change my perspective about life after I was honored to be assigned as "mommy" two years ago. Life is a true inspiration! Every Time I look at my daughter I am committed to continue on this journey to life a healthier life! Congratulation to everyone altering your outlook on life! :bigsmile:

    I never thought I would lift weights! And LIKE it!
    I've been looking at bikinis as well. After having six kids. I wouldn't wear it in public; it would just be for if hubby and I decided to take a midnight swim while on vacation. But yeah, I would totally rock it then. :wink:
