Starting a bragging thread

[simpilotswife]

I was looking around and realized that there is no one thread that lets us list our accomplishments on our weight loss journey so I thought it might be nice to start one....besides I have a bit of bragging to do so I'll start.

My first brag is that I ran 1 contiguous mile (finally) this last week which is a very big deal for me. I have been working my way up it for a very long time so I'm happy that I finally made it.

My second brag is that I went shopping in the misses section of stores this week. While it is only for tops (alas my butt is the big part of me) it made me feel pretty good.


I know I have a lot further to go to get to where I want to be but it's nice to see significant results. Thanks for listening and helping me get here.

Great idea for a thread. Congratulations on your running and new clothes. It is such a great feeling to go down a size.

I have been exercising at least 4 days, mostly 6 days a week since january 1st. It is the longest time I can ever remember that I consistently have exercised. I hope it is the beginning of a more active rest of my life. I haven't been successful in losing weight this year, but have been maintaining within a few pounds, so I'm happy with that too.

I'll brag, too!!! I lost 33 pounds since last year. 73 pounds since 1996 (I'm a slow learner )

Great idea...everyone needs a pat on the back once in awhile. In addition to my WW, I started a daily exercise routine a little over a month ago (something I have never done before). I bought two of the Leslie Sansone DVDs and just love them. I now do the 3 mi. walk away the pounds, with arm weights every night. I also add in a set of toning exercises every other night. In addition to the pounds I have lost...... I have lost 4 inches in my waist! I can easily fit into my size 6 jeans!!!!

I've lost about 100 lbs-
I'm back to my old highschool size.

Need to lose 5 more to get into that tricky
BMI chart range for my height-
But I'm not sure how I'll get that done the scale needle
just does not seem to want to
move these days.
