What good thing have you noticed this week because of your weight loss?

2 Things today. #1. I slept through the night for the first time in years! I didn't toss and turn or wake up with a dry mouth from snoring and sleep apnea. I feel pretty rested. Who knew I could feel this way in the morning??? #2. My blue jeans fit and are almost too big!!! My most recent memory of jeans is that they were painfully tight. These feel soft, comfy and a little loose. I had given up on wearing jeans ever again! Life is good! (Now if my hips will stop hurting, I can start belly dance class next week.) So tell me: what's good in your life?

1. Down 2 pants sizes - almost 3! 2. I have bones!! I can acutally feel them. 3. Having my friends afraid to let their boyfriend or even worse their fiance spend time with me... LOL. I'm engaged so they have nothing to worry about. 4. Having my fiance be amazed by my changes when he hugs me. 5. Incredible boost of self confidiance!!

There are so many things that are good in life right now, The first one is GOD. 2. I am finally under 200lbs again. 3. I can fit into a resturant booth. 4. I can cross my legs. 5. Bones ?, I didn't even know I had them until my weight loss!!! 6. Giving my friends all the clothes that are too big. 7. Only being 15 lbs from my husbands weight. 8. Food does not control me anymore. 9. Having people tell me how good I look now. And my favor one: 10. Fitting into a bath tub. Life is good!!!!

A lot of my answers are the same as yours.... isn't it GREAT... Yes number one God and how he gets me through each and EVERY day... 2. 52 pound weight loss since 5/25/04 3. I am down from a 24/26 to a 20 and almost an 18!!! Shirts I am in xl or 16/18. 4. Giving all my 22-26 clothes away and never getting them back! 5. Sitting with my legs crossed (sorda) 6. Having people call me skinny minnie (i am far from it but it sounds good) 7. Being able to shop at all the different stores for shirts instead of the PLUS shops.... 8. Being able to feel my ribs...weird but it has been a VERY long time.

Being just shy of 3 months, I am amazed at what I have seen change in me. Here is the top 10 1. No back pain when I walk or stand. 2. Exercise is not painful or is it hard to do. 3. I sweat a lot less now. 4. I bought new pants thinking they would be tight, they fit perfect. 5. I now fit into booth when going out. 6. Gave away old clothes via clothing exchange. 7. A lot of old clothes now fit and getting too big. 8. People sit next to me now - many used to give me an extra chair. 9. More energy - a lot more. 10. Eating is more pleasurable. I know that might sound odd, but I actually enjoy things more now - even though there is much less of it. Food tastes better to me now.

Hiya Cheryl! I have 2 daughters, but my oldest one who's 11 lives with her father due to disciplinary problems. She has spent this week with me. She arrived on Monday. She came running over and hugged me, then looked up at me with this funny kinda confused look on her face. She said "mommy, I can get my arms all the way around you with room to spare". It was the coolest moment. Today I was killin time in Walmart and decided for kicks and giggles i'd try on some shorts. I was in an 18 when I started this. I tried on 14's and they fit! I danced a small confined space jig in the dressing room. I have also found that I still have knees. At night when i'm in bed I notice my knees digging into one another. Never had that problem before as i've got very fat legs. I always blamed it on 15 years of softball. Anyway, those are my fav things right now. So can I join that belly dancing class with ya? Sounds like fun! LOL God bless! Melanie

Hey all, No longer taking BP meds, plus most of the other things already listed. This was a good decision for me! Michele -40

Ladies, you all had great experiences to share today and I am experiencing some of those too. It's weird and it's wonderful. Anybody that want's to belly dance, give it a try. It's alot of fun and a great total body workout!

What a great list of things we can all celebrate! Just a few to add: 1. having my BP taken with a normal sized cuff, being able to tie my shoes in the middle and not off to one side because I can't reach, 3. being able to put on a seat belt and not contort my body in the process, being able to sit in plastic patio chairs and not have them stick to my hiney! I agree with the belly dancing... need to tone this body up! Deb -55lbs/11 weeks

I am so happy about so many things. 1. Being able to shop in the juniors department. 2. Wearing a sleeveless shirt! I have no hanging arm skin. 3. Everyone telling me how small I have gotten. 4. Second and third looks! 5. Tying my shoes in the front. Nita Lap Rny 05/04/2004 221/171 50lbs gone forever
