I forgot to add some stuff, so here goes!

I like my small waist. It's great to be able to wear belts again!

I do not like my tiny boobies. They look like deflated tires. Ok, not that bad, but why, why, why do they have to go??? I started off with a 38D and now, I'm about 34 to 36 A++ or B-- and I'm not even at goal. Are they planning on becoming concave??? I'm just wondering!

Thanks for letting me brag & vent and thanks everyone for all your responses. It's nice to know there's just as much good stuff than bad...and sometimes even more good than bad!

Likes:

Being able to wear cute clothes and look good in them;
Shopping in the regular size section of stores, and giving away all my plus-size clothes;
No longer waking up at night feeling like I can't breathe;
The feeling I can fit into places better (e.g. restaurant booths);
Getting all this new attention from men;
Compliments from people, who tell me I am an inspiration;
The feeling that I can do more with my body, like play sports and climb stairs;
Higher self-esteem and confidence.

What I don't like:

Being in-between sizes and seeing a beautiful piece of clothing I like that's expensive: I won't spend a lot on something I won't be able to wear for very long;
Feeling cold a lot;
Still feeling big, and my stomach is still big: working at it but it seems like it'll take forever to get small. Oh well, I always figured it would be the last to go and I was right.

As you can see, there's a lot more I like than don't like. Like I've told people, along with quitting smoking, losing weight is the best thing I've ever done for myself.

While I was never really generous on top, it's ridiculous now. They look like bean bags to me. I love my Victoria Secret BioFit push-up bra!
Sometimes I have trouble finding clothes small enough. Crazy! In some stores I can wear a size 2 now and I can't find it in stock. I still can't wrap my head around that!
Saggy skin on back of arms. Bat-wings!
Veins on my arms and hands so prominent that people comment on them.
More facial wrinkling (Those creams just aren't doing it for me).
Being colder-as the cold weather approaches I'm dreading it.

My "likes" and "dislikes" lists are equal in length, but BELIEVE ME, the good outweighs the bad for sure!

Likes:
My "monster legs" (they're long and super toned)
My flat stomach
Being able to find and buy something that looks cool and not having to worry too much about whether or not it will make me look fat
My beautifully toned biceps
My protruding collar bones
My low body fat percentage (I went from 31% to 15.5% )
The sculpted booty that I didn't have at my highest weight (it was just a trunk of jello back then) or while previously thin (it was a flat pancake booty in those days!)

Dislikes:
My loose skin - despite having ab definition, my belly button looks like a deflated balloon up close
The stretch marks I have on my stomach, sides, and back
My deflated boobies
The stretch marks my boobies acquired
The fact my boobies aren't as perky as they were when they were more, erm, INFLATED!
I feel like I still have trace amounts of back fat
And my body dysmorphia... while my self image has gotten much more reasonable and I have gotten significantly more confident, I fear I will always think I have fat deposits in places I don't and that I will always yank clothes off the rack that are too big for me because I still think I'm bigger than I am despite knowing I am nowhere near fat.

Likes:
My relatively slim looking face
My ginormous eyes
My waist (I have one!)
My less than totally sucky jogging capability

Dislikes:
MY LEGS. I don't know what the heck it is, but they are way too huge for the rest of me, even my calves, which really don't have much fat on them.
My general hairiness
My too wide for their length feet.

But from the waist up I'm fine with it.

[smyrah]

I am seeing toning going on. My body is getting into shape and the time and effort is worth the results I am seeing.

Dislikes
I am never going to get rid of this chest. I went from a 34B to a 42D and it doesn't seem like it wants to go away no matter how much weight I lose. I am still into a 40D.

My boobs - I can actually feel my ribs through them - thank the lord for gel bras, that's what I say!!!
My bum - is still flabbier than I'd like and a bit of a weird shape when I'm naked!
