What has changed about you???

[Rachie0507]

I was just on my morning walk, talking to myself of course. I'm sure the neighbors think I am crazy but talking to myself keeps me motivated. Anyway, I was "discussing" the things that have changed about me in the last 6 weeks that I have been doing Weight Watchers and being part of WISH. I thought it would be fun if we posted our "brags" on here, for other people to appreciate. We definately can all understand the work it takes to reach these accomplishments. I'll start.

What I like that is different (btw, I have lost 18.4 lbs in ~6 wks w/ WW and WISH):

1. I feel like I can dress more like a 26 year old now
2. I have hips and feel curvy again, before I just felt like a blob
3. I like to exercise and don't have to drag myself out to do it now
4. My knees don't hurt at all anymore
5. I feel like I have some great supporting friends here at WISH

My goal is to lose about 80 lbs total so I still have a long way to go, but thinking about these "little" things is what keeps me going. How about all of you?

What awesome news Rachie0507!! You are focusing on the positive and that will carry you all the way to your goal!!

I noticed the same things when I reached goal last year...I am in the process of losing 20 that I regained, 11 down, 9 more to go. I have been Jazzercising 4-5 days a week and I can totally feel it!! I feel so much stronger, and leaner!! I hate it when I can't go. Used to be I had to force myself to go!!
I love that the more form-fitting shirts look good on me again!! I also love the compliments...not in a snotty way, but it really goes a long way!

Great idea to post this!!!

Who's next????

Great job Michelle! Isn't it amazing how addicting exercise can be? I was the kid who found excuses to get out of gym class, but as an adult I have a lot more respect for exercise. Thanks for sharing!!!

Congratulations on your great success!!! You are doing great!

For me.........

I''ve accomplished and done things I never thought I could do before.
I actually enjoy and love exercising now and love how it makes me feel.

I also can kneel in church and my knees don't hurt!!

Oh I loved reading your success stories!! Awesome awesome!!!

For me, I feel more confident...that I CAN do it this time!! I'm enjoying myself on my diet, where before it felt more like a chore (which probably explains why I gained back the weight I lost). Even though I can't visually see a change yet, I definitely FEEL better...as Michelle said, I feel stronger and leaner!! And I'm much more in a positive mood...to the delight of my husband.

great post!

i actually don't mind looking in the mirror anymore- you know when you are in the mall and you pass by a mirror and think "wow, is that really me?" it feels so rewarding to loose weight- 45lbs now and more to go but i feel that i have the confidence and will power to keep going
