I want to feel healthier.
I want to feel more self-confident.
I want to feel stronger and being able to do more physically - like I always used to be able to.
I want to know that a size 14 will fit me without having to take the risk and feel disappointed.
I want to be able to wear rings from normal shops without them being too tight.
I want to be able to try long boots without stretch and they'll zip up around my calves.

And everything else you guys said :)

I like feeling the way I do at the moment, I like the feeling of being lighter, I want to keep enjoying that feeling

I still have a long way to go

LOSING WEIGHT IS so REWARDING , and so exciting when you go in to a shop for clothes and can buy them...
1. off the rail like nearly everybody else...
2. with a different coloured size tag attached, in my case, proving to me that I AM smaller than I have remembered being for the past decade, at least!!

:balloons: :lucky: :df: :wizard: :drill: :hyper: :cloud9: :grouphug: :dancer: :flow2: :cp:

It makes me feel good when people notice :) :) :) :) :) :) :)
