Love this thread. You should ALL be so proud of how your hard work and perseverance is paying off!

Hello! I, too, am feeling re-motivated with the New Year. Please feel free to add me (anyone on this thread). We are united in our goal! Started MFP in June 2014 at 180 lbs. Currently 162.6 (up a few since Thanksgiving) Goal 150

Ditto.

It will probably hurt - you know that already and that's why you're scared. But after it's over you are going to feel amazing. Remembering that going in to your workouts will help every time. Eventually you will probably enjoy the workout while you're doing it, and maybe begin to look forward to it beforehand. But right…

That's really awesome!!! Congratulations! You ARE a runner! Today, I realized that I don't have a double chin any longer when I tuck my head down to look over my reading glasses.

Just keep going. It's a marathon. Think of where you'll be a year from now - whether you keep this up or give up. Which place would you rather be in? You can do it!!!

JustinAnimal and CaitlinW19, those are ideas I want to try.

Oh my goodness, so many great ideas! Printing post to take to grocery store. :-) Thank you all!

Awesome! Congrats!

Hey Sean! Good for you - definitely act on that motivation. Most of us know that it comes and goes, but sticking with it - even in those down cycles - is the key to progress. Have you thought about trying to work out in the morning some days? I'm not a morning person but over the past few months I've begun exercising in…

Exactly what TFaustino67 said. Just keep going, one day at a time, and before you know it you will see the progress you desire. And please do post that re-take of the photo when it happens so we can congratulate you! Good luck!!!!!!

Oh, you do look fantastic in that red dress! Go girl! Congratulations on your improved health and well-being!

Love it. You've inspired me. :-)

137 pounds??? Shut UP! Congratulations and thank you for the encouragement!

Awesome!

Congratulations on your progress! You are doing amazing and your hard work truly does show. Remember, it's a marathon. Every day in the right direction is another victory! I'm rooting for you!

Oh my gosh! Only two months? What a wonderful job you have done! Congratulations!

Oh - and try not to forget that it's a marathon, not a sprint. Every healthy change you make today will have a ripple effect a year from now and beyond. Try to look at the big picture when the changes feel like they are coming too slowly.

Congratulations to all of you! Inspiring thread! For me, I'm thrilled to not spend every minute pulling at my clinging tops because they show every mid-section lump. My tops don't cling any more and I feel great! Also, I have not completely given up my summer morning exercise/healthy living routine, which I was afraid…

Congratulations! You are absolutely beautiful (always were, btw) and your transformation is inspiring!

Congratulations!!! Your hard work is paying off. Keep it up!

I've been up and down and back and forth for twenty years. I get lazy about tracking and busy with life (i.e., stop working out), but we all know where that lands me. You can do it and so can I!!! Add me as a friend, if you'd like. Good luck!

You look phenomenal! I love that you've made so much progress in only 3 months and that your "small" changes are making such a big difference. Congratulations and keep it up! You're inspiring!

I love all your NSV's!!!! Congrats! Here's mine for today: The blouse I'm wearing fits me perfectly. It's been hanging untouched in my closet for two years, because it has felt too snug and uncomfortable - until today!

Guess I won't hit my target, but it's been a very successful month of cross training - instead of JUST running, which is what I've been doing for the past couple of years without really gaining strength or losing weight. Thank you for the challenge though! I'll be back again in August with a goal of surpassing July! Added…

I agree with the above responses. Everyone wants immediate and consistent positive results, but it's a marathon. Just keep going and don't give up. Think about where you'll be six months from now! Good luck!

Don't give up, don't give up, don't give up! Remember your goals when you don't feel like putting in the effort. I can tell you that being a Mommy is a wonderful reward - one of life's greatest joys! Even if you don't end up having children or that goal changes some day, it will be worth it in the end to be healthy and the…

These are great reasons to celebrate! Congratulations on feeling better and enjoying (vs. not hating) it along the way! I this this is one of my most recent NSV's too. I feel pretty darn great from the increased activity, decreased fatty crap food intake, increased rest, decreased stress. My husband said last night that…

Beautiful Friday morning for a run with my sweet young lady of a daughter. Added 2.5. Still way behind on my challenge goal but I'm getting a lot of variety in my exercise and feel great!
