I have lost a bunch of weight and have been surprised by some of the results. In some ways, I love the transformation, but there are still some things that I don't really enjoy.
Like:
Feeling stronger and more muscular
Fitting into cuter clothes
More confidence about my appearance and my ability to accomplish what I set my mind to do.
Feeling healthier
Better treatment from sales people (sad, but true)
Dislike:
Migraines
Stress fracture on my right foot!
Loose skin

Did I mention loose skin?
I still have lots of cellulite! Will this decrease? I hope to find out soon by reaching my goal.
So, I'm wondering....if you've lost no weight yet or lots of weight, what do you like or dislike about your body?

Knowing I still have a long ways to go

Its quite interesting...I never would have thought, but i have more likes than dislikes. Huzzah!
I still have lots of cellulite! Will this decrease? I hope to find out soon by reaching my goal.
The problem with cellulite is that it's not caused by excess fat. 85% of women have cellulite, whether they're heavy or thin. So even as we lose weight, the cellulite might not go away. Sucks, I know! I have it too, so I feel your pain.
I do enjoy having more muscle definition, as mentioned by the rest of you. I am also enjoying the fact that my collarbones are starting to show up, and that I can buy shirts in normal sizes now (my bottom half is shrinking a lot more slowly).
I'm still not seeing a difference in the mirror, though, which I know is normal, but it's still frustrating. At halfway to my goal (nearly) I just hoped I'd be down another size or so. But I've only gone down two pants sizes since I started.
loves has to be my belly button and my collar bones and my ever shrinkin arms....
hates have to be my legs and my handles....
im happy overall though!....
Getting pants that actually fit my smaller waist/bigger hips. There was nothing wrong with my body, just lots wrong with brands that expect one pants fit to work for all women
Endurance! Flexibility! Strength! Muscles that show!
Collarbones. And my shoulders don't look like they're sloping anymore.
Coming out of my shell.
Sleeping more comfortably.
Dislike:
A few things, but I just don't feel like focusing on them Not that I'm so very highly evolved - probably tomorrow I'll be venting about them on another thread - but right now I don't wanna
Likes:
Better asthma control (no more waking up in the middle of the night dying!)
Better fitness
Being able to fit into my jeans again
Feeling more in control
The fact that my body hasnt given up on me yet!
Dislikes:
Still my stomach. But it must be getting there otherwise my jeans wouldnt fit
My arms. Looking more toned, but still bigger than i would like
My boobs-too big! Well, too big for my frame anyway. But they too are shrinking
My skin- not so much a dislike (becuase i kinda feel sorry for, and emotionally attached to, my skin) but more of an unhappiness, gotta drink more water to help it out
like- shoulder neck and face are all in good order. my waiste is small and the muscles around it fairly good.
i like knowing i am changing my body and i have control over how good/bad my body is.
dislike- hips because fat enjoys sitting there, my ***, my thighs, and fat that sits above your knees. i hate knowing that i am still big in other peoples eyes, i hate knowing other peoples opinions will always matter to me to some degree.
Likes:
My collar bones
My waist-it's quite small.
My calves. They're muscular and slim.
My wrists and fingers-they're so little.
Dislikes:
Upper arms. They're still so fat.
My thighs are also still flabby.
My stomach isn't flat enough.
I also have the hugest hips ever.
I still feel like the fattest person in the world pretty much all the time.
Ah well, we can't be perfect, but I'm gonna have a good try at getting there!
What do you like/dislike about your body?
(sad, but true)
