Please post your little successes here! They add up!

I gained 2 pounds the other day, and I KNOW it was because I haven't been drinking my water.
I've already downed three glasses this morning, and I'm going to stay hydrated!

I finally can wear both my wedding ring and engagement ring this week. They haven't fit in 4 years!

Melissa, I haven't worn my ring in 4 years as well. CONGRATS TO YOU !!!!!
I hope to say the same some day soon lol.

Little successes....... I'm eating more veggies

Congratulations, girls!

This may seem ridiculously small, but I started taking an iron supplement yesterday, plus an "energy booster" with bee pollen, ginseng, and wheat grass. I'm hoping it will perk me up a little.
And I'm wondering if I've become lactose intolerant. I've noticed that when I have ice cream, etc now, my stomach blows right up, and I feel TERRIBLE.
If only there was such a thing as Dorito intolerance...

Hi! I'm new to this site and absolutely love what I've seen so far!
I am also very happy to report that I've been going to the gym twice every week for the past month, and have also been good with my food intake.

Today I ran 5 miles. First 1 mile, then took a break, then another mile, then took a break. Then I ran 3 miles all at once! I haven't ran that far all at once since like....like....junior high!!! God definitely sent some angels to carry me.

RedRaider, that is wonderful!
I love your "yoda quote".

Okay, I want to know how old you are now

So, about four years ago I lost around 80lbs. The crowning achievement to that loss was a fantastic dress I got to wear to a wedding. I have had that dress hanging in my bedroom to motivate me. Last time I lost I never fit in a size 10, since I am starting to fit in them I figured I would try on the dress. IT WAS TOO BIG! I am still about 6lbs higher than my all time low weight, but I didn't strength train last time, so I think I am actually smaller now than I was before.

Melissa, I'm so happy for you, sweetie!! I remember 163 very well. I'm hoping to "join you" soon. Keep it up, girl!!

Congratulations, sexyacura!!

This is a little success but one worth mentioning. I have been good one week (Low Carb) and I'm down almost 5 pounds. It wasn't easy having cake, ice cream, brownies, mac & cheese, bread, candy, etc in front of me almost daily. It is very hard for me to say no, but I've done it.

I don't remember the last time I was good for a week doing anything. My goal is 66 more days of being good with an exception for one meal (my honey's birthday dinner).

Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Hi everyone. My little success is that since the beggining of last week, when I have work or school in the morning, I have been waking up early to do my cardio so that way I won't make any excuses later in the day!
