It Is So Good To Hear All Your Response's. I Like The Positive Images It Is So Motivating. This Journey Is Long And Draining Sometimes It Is Hard To See The Rainbow. Thanks To You For Reminding Us There Are Rewards For Our Hard Work.

The best thing for me is that its made me come out of my shell. I always thought that I was confident...and I was, but more tending to the aggressive side of confidence (my way or no way sort of thing). I put up a huge front with everyone that basically said bugger off - so they did. Now I am much calmer and approachable...and more likeable really - to others and to myself.

Oh and the other best side effect that I didn't expect is the attention from men!

I havent lost enough to warrant feeling benefits yet but I have in the past. The best feeling for me is seeing my health improve, gaining more energy and then finding my clothes loser. I can't wait!

I sleep better, my skin is clearer and I'm generally fitter (although I can still improve a LOT more on that)

Oh and the fear is the best feeling (oddly enough) every weekend when I'm out of my work clothes (why are suit trousers always looser than jeans etc) and go to put on my jeans - the fear of them not fitting each weekend and realising they do is great!
