QOTD: what benefits has your weight loss brought you so far?

Smaller clothes, more confidence in my body, my tummy feels better.

Morning ladies.

Just popping in before I go get my workout in and go do my running around.

Well post TOM weight is back down to my low of 146, I hope it stays there.

MonteCristo - I think you are next for QOTD.

I'll be back later.

What benefits has your weight loss brought you so far? Or if you are just starting out on your weight loss journey, what benefits do you hope weight loss will bring?

Love getting back into smaller size jeans!! And just feeling better overall about myself. I just want to be healthy!

:congrat: to Collegemom!!! And :woohoo: ladies we're doing this!!!

I've gotten in 2mi walks this week, gotta step it up if I'm going to make my June goal of 100 miles. Today I'm pulling weeds and mowing. Should take me about 4 hrs to do all that. So I just wanted to pop in and say hello and tell ya'll how glad I am to be a member of the Red Rockets, reading these threads has been great in helping me stay on track. I really will try to post more. My boys get out of school next Wednesday, so just been a bit busy with end of the year stuff. Can't believe summer is right around the corner!!
Well I better get moving. Have an awesome Thursday, I'll try to get back here this evening. :hug:

Oh boy! I get to do the QOTD.......what can I come up with.......:devil: (Do these all need to be about weightloss?)

QOTD - Since you have begun to lose weight, have you noticed and change in the things you like to do for recreation?

I know I have. Before, whenever I'd have any spare time I be reading or crocheting or watching movies. I could sit still for hours. Now even if I do sit down to read, I'm jumping up every 15 minutes or so. I actually enjoy outside activities like tennis and frisbee. For my vacation this year I am spending a week walking across Scotland. Two years ago that would have been completely unimaginable!

Yes, I like to be outside more it seems. Still despise the heat, but have become more of an outside gal. And, I kinda look forward to working out now...even though I don't love working out exactly if that makes sense.

Lat summer I was so embarrased of my body i never took off my cover up. now do not get me wrong I still have a lot more to loose and need to tone up a lot but since I have lost some weight I have gained some confidence, not only confidence that my body is shrinking but that I do not really care what people think. i have enjoyed being outside playing with the kids, walking, swimming,playing baseball and much more. These are all things I have not really done in 2 years and I can not believe what a little fresh air and sunshine can do for my overall well being. I even played in a ballgame here at work last thursday and I did every well. I think I impressed a lot of co-workers. Now I have always been good at sports and never participated in work things before so I just assume that co-workers like a lot of people think over weight means lazy.

Definitly! I'm like addicted to walking now.. I have to go two times a day or else I get antsy, also i want to go outside and play ball with my son, and before.. i hated the thought of it

I haven't lost enough weight to notice a change in recreation activities, but diet wise I now crave water;)

Sorry haven't been around much. DH has been home and underfoot. He's a truck driver and I'm not use to him being home so much. Glad his dispatcher called with work! Means a pay check and I can get back into my routine!

I have rediscoverd enjoing baseball with my kids and bike riding!

I can fit into a kayak with no problem now, and I love to get out on the water.

Nope....

Don't forget to name the next person to ask the QOTD.

QOTD - Since you have begun to lose weight, have you noticed and change in the things you like to do for recreation?

Definitely!!! I have always liked the great outdoors but with being heavy I was unable to enjoy many activities. Since losing this 40 lbs. I am so much more active and willing to try just about anything.

I am one of those weirdos who actually like to workout. I NEVER did that before. Now, I'm like, bring it on.

I think TOM is going to show up soon. Not positive though. I am up a little at 191.4. Hopefuly it is TOM related and I will lose some soon.

I always 'thought' of myself as active, but now that I weigh less- I find being active to be easier and more enjoyable.
