  • Is it tying your shoes or getting in the car a little easier? I know I have plenty after losing 84 pounds but one that stands out in my head is how people treat me different, I notice men hold the door for me when they used to slam it in my face even if I was right behind them SAD ha??
    I am so glad I have my husband who loved me when I was a sexy chubby girl and loves me just the same now that I am a little smaller lol what would I do without this man of mine xoxooxoxoxo
    The best part of losing all this weight is how I feel AMAZING!!!
  • Yay! Congrats to you. Lol.
  • Definitely, tying my shoes is alot easier. I have more energy and I am feeling a lil better about myself.
  • My shoes! Definitely my biggest and the one I was look most forward to at the onset.

    I fit in my winged back chairs.

    I HOP in and out of the car and off the couch!

    I just feel lighter.
  • I have more energy overall
  • It's a lot of the little things:
    The seatbelt is easier to get on in the car
    Going up and down stairs is a million times faster
    Walking just in general is more enjoyable
    Sex is longer -Maybe that's TMI but I know I can't be the only one
  • Just how much lighter I feel... how much easier walking upstairs is.
  • Congrats!
  • Mine was my shoes and my fingers! I went down a size in shoes, and then I went down 1.5 sizes in my rings. Just had to have my wedding band / engagement ring resized! Things you wouldn't normally think about.

    Also...I don't have to shop in PLUS sizes...I get to shop in Misses! Definite confidence booster.
  • I have noticed that when walking by a window or mirror I like the person I see a lot better. My shadow...well it can be quite sexy if I do say so myself haha
    I don't dread clothes shopping like I used to and when something does not look quite right I don't give up, I just go find something else.

    I am wearing brighter colors the past few months than I did before...bright blues and yellows etc. I never would have worn those say 25 pounds or more heavier. I always tried to blend in with everyone else not stand out.

    I am much more active and willing to be out and about now.
  • I've noticed myself crossing my legs more often. Although I was able to physically cross them (I couldn't years ago when I was above 200 pounds), it didn't look good or feel comfy. Now I think it does!
  • One thing i've noticed and am irritated with is people telling me how thin my face looks...as if i had some giant, grossly proportioned face before. i wonder if its bad to consider karate chopping those folks in the neck for saying that.
  • OMG I just said to hubby the other day look at my shadow it doesnt look like me :} it used to look like the stay puff marshmallow man LOL
    also i agree with the with the person who commented on the SEX it is not TMI it is true it is so much better

  • Okay, I've only ever been what unkind people might call 'a bit chubby', but in getting fitter and losing weight I've found there's power in my movements now. Like, sitting down, I used to just let myself drop, basically, but when I followed a proper exercise regime for a few months, I could actually feel my muscles engaging and working to lower my body weight, instead of just abandoning it! Lol. Feeling that potential in your own body is an amazing thing.
  • just being able to go about my day whithout constantly worrying about what other people think of me. When my BMI went under 30 i got so excited because i finally felt like a "normal" person.
