I never thought about it before, but it is a big one.

I no longer eat a single "free" thing from work and man is there a lot of free food at work.
I can simply say "It looks delicious but No Thank You" and I don't even feel anxious about it. That IS Big.

I'm not always hot all the time! With the last few lbs I've shed, I'm often comfortable or even cold! I have a LOT more fat to keep me warm but I am so happy because no matter what, I was always so hot!

I can actually run around now when playing tennis, instead of shuffling pathetically.

At the doctor's, they can actually weigh me on their standard scale instead of having to ask me for my weight.

- I can run/walk 5k on the treadmill consistently and not even be really sore the next day.
- I can see my bicep muscles when I flex.
- I can proudly announce that for the first time in memory my waist is below 40 inches.
- I can give you a ballpark estimate of how many calories I've eaten at any given point in a day, and how many left I have to eat.

I can...

- Train for up to an hour on the elliptical machine now. This is a far cry from the 5 minutes that used to kill me.
- Fit into 2XL shirts again, with room to spare.
- Out walk my dogs.
- Consistently keep my blood glucose under control.
- Request a booth at a restaurant instead of just a table.

I can...

- run for 25 min (broken up with 2 or 3 1min walking breaks). I used to be able to run for about 30 seconds
- fit into my skinny day jeans and button them easily right out of the wash
- drive past a fast food restaurant without my mouth watering, lol
- get full on 300calorie meals
- look in the mirror and not be disgusted

I'm only one month into my weightloss journey. I've lost 9lbs, and I'm proud of myself so far

Massive kudos for this thread - what an excellent idea!

What can I do now that I couldn't three months ago?

- I can walk up flights (yes, plural!) of stairs without feeling like I'm going to collapse halfway
- I can sit on my kitchen chairs and pull both legs up so that my feet are also on the seat; I can also sit cross-legged on them
- I can curl up on my sofa/bed and cross my legs!
- I can cycle round with my bike in its highest gear and not gasp and switch down at the earliest opportunity

There's probably more but these were the ones that sprung to mind. Thank you, OP, for this thread. Counting your blessings is an excellent exercise
