What's your: "I NEVER thought I would, but NOW..."

I NEVER thought I would like sweating and actually be annoyed when I didn't feel I worked as hard as I could!

I never thought that I'd actually ENJOY working out and be upset when I realize that I can't fit it into my schedule some days.
I never thought that I'd crave drinking water over anything else... even at restaurants when a margarita is on the menu :drinker:
I never thought that I'd drink black coffee... or coffee in general, to be honest.
I never thought that I'd love looking at myself in the mirror naked (maybe TMI, but still lol)
I never thought I'd have people asking me for healthy lifestyle advice.

And most of all, I never thought that I'd be this dedicated to change my life for the better despite all of the odds, trials, tribulations and obstacles along the way.

Great job to everyone! :flowerforyou:

I never thought I would run any distance past a mile and now I'm training for my 5th full marathon.

I never thought I would be able to lose 3 lbs let alone over 30 so far!
I never thought I would look forward to working out as a de-stresser!
I never thought I would love the feel of burning muscles!

I never thought I would be able to look in the mirror and not hate what I saw, but now... well, I have a nice *kitten*.

ETA - I also never thought I would love working out, but now I *****love***** it

I never thought I could do 3 sets of 12 proper push-ups but now I can!

Never thought I'd ever be able to say "I've lost 112lbs" Or that I could ever put both legs in 1 of my pant legs. Never ever thought I'd ever say after having kids "I am smaller then I was in high school."

I never thought I would say I'm full after half a meal and stop eating.....

I never thought I would be addicted to working out and the way it makes me feel.

Me too!!!! Date a cop that is... not sure why that didn't work. LOL

I love, love, love this thread =D

I never thought I'd fall in love with weightlifting, but I definitely did.
I never thought I'd wear spandex pants to the gym and feel comfortable, but I do.

I never thought I could squat over my body weight, or do push ups off my knees. I do both now.
I also never thought I'd set my next goal at doing a pull up. It's a work in progress.

I actually never thought I could lose it in the first place, much less maintain that loss. (Been on maintenance 6 mths this month)
I definitely never thought I'd eat over 2000 calories a day regularly, without gaining... but thank goodness I can, cause I love food.

And I never, never thought I'd willing sign up to run a 5k. I still hate running, but I like to push myself- so my first one is in August.

I Never Thought- I would have an attitude if I couldn't work out or go to the Gym
I Never Thought- I would look forward to getting 2nd workouts in or jump all over mini challenges to do extra
I Never Thought- I would rock a 2 piece with out a cover up and actually like myself in it..
I Never Thought- I would meet so many inspiring people and actually consider them family and I have never seen or to most of them
I Never Thought- I would EVER fit in a size 6 in life.....
I Never Thought- I would inspire so many in such a positive way...
I Never Thought- I would stay consistent in logging my food on a dialy, losing weight and keep it on living a healthier lifestyle....


BTW...I LOVE MFP....That is ALL

I never thought I would weigh under 200 pounds again.
I never thought I could run a mile, much less 3.
I never thought I could shop in a stor other than plus size again.
I never thought I could lose weight and still eat some of the things I love.
I never thought I would hear people calling me skinny again.
I NEVER, EVER thought I could lose 85 pounds in a year!

I NEVER thought I would like shopping for clothes ever again, but now I can can find flattering, classy things in regular stores. I'm only half way to dream weight, but I'm thrilled at where I am now.

^^this is a HUGE motivation for me - glad you've made it there

I NEVER thought I would run further than a mile. Last Sunday, I ran my first half-marathon, and plan on doing many more (plus some full marathons at some point)! In 2 hours 11 minutes, too. :happy:
