Hey there,

I just noticed the thread on what people are looking forward to once they lose weight, and I was wondering what people have already been able to do because of the weight they've lost so far? I was able to move from shopping in the plus sizes to the regular sizes (I'm 14s and 12s now)!

I have been able to comfortably sit an airplane seat without being squished!

I also was able to wrap a towel around me that wasn't a beach towel! This is a huge victory for me.... the towel doesn't completely cover me yet, but at least it will stay tied around my chest!

I bought a pair of shorts to actually wear in public

I can jog four miles. I can run a lot faster around the bases and to get to a flyball. I have become a better eater and a better feeder for my 14-month old baby. We are in a clementine orange phase. I don't get winded running up and down the stairs. One thing I am not doing is spending loads of money on beautifying my house. I did that a lot because I was so depressed shopping for clothes. I am also fitting in smaller clothes. The lower I go in size, the more clothes I can find. Like, I found a pair of shorts that looked great the other day. There were probably four times as many size 6 and under than there were 12, 10, and 8.

Mowing the lawn! It used to destroy me, now I am not even out of breath when I'm done!

I can enjoy a nice long bike ride with my six year old son.

I can wear shirts that don't cover my bum. Before I lost weight there was no way I would let anybody see my huge rear, now I'm practically booty shakin to get people to look at it! LMAO!!
