    That sleeping was going to be a problem! We have an old mattress and it's lumpy as it is. Now I have hip bones and stuff starting to show it's hard to get comfortable enough for a good night sleep. I have to squirm about a bit until I can get that sweet spot where I don't feel anything digging in to me. Also I don't know what to do with my legs as they are leaner now and feel every lump! I tried the suggestion of using an extra pillow that I can rest my leg on and that helps to a certain extent.

    I just noticed the mattress thing this past weekend. It feels so lumpy and uncomfortable now! I might try an extra pillow for my legs, thanks for the tip!

    I ended up buying one of these from Ikea so I could sleep

    That looks like it might be the answer. I might have to invest in one or something like it. Also I don't know what to do with my left leg anymore. I sleep on my right side and I guess my legs used to be more fleshy. Now they're leaner and more muscled and feel weird when pressed together at night. I was skinny as a teenager. I don't remember how I slept then. I guess I was just used to it.

    I'm not exactly springing around like a gymnast but when things roll under the table it's not a broadway production to get them back.

    :D:D:D Funniest thing I've read all day. I'm glad!

    How bloating and disgusting it feels to have a day where you eat the way the old you did. After Valentine's Day I couldn't wait to go back to not eating much!


    And this! Yes!

    Getting onto the floor and up again is much easier, but you forget and think that it's a pain in the backside when something drops on the floor.

    I read your other thread this morning and I just have to day I LOVE the way you word things! Congrats on your success!

    I just have to add to this. I noticed this week how much nicer my front yard is looking. When I see a weed or grass growing in the wrong place I bend over and pull it. Without complaining or waiting for someone else to do it.

    This. I used to think I didn't like gardening. It was moving and bending I didn't like.

    This is great, I've enjoyed reading all the responses!

    For me I was surprised that my shoe size went down. I used to like the house to stay at 68, now it is 75 and I'm still ALWAYS cold. I didn't realize just how much extra energy I would have - I'm always fidgeting and moving, all day long! My tolerance for sweets has gone down (a good thing!) and I will physically get sick if I overdo it. It's easier to walk the aisles of an airplane without bumping into everyone. My mind does not always see the same thing as my eyes... I can look in the mirror daily and even when the scale says I've lost my mind doesn't seem to believe it. Tossing out old clothes while losing is a good practice. I made the mistake of not doing this before - it was far too easy to gain back 5 pounds, then 10, then 15... Not this time! People do treat you quite differently, but the extra compliments feel great.

    If you have a Sam's club or something like near you, they have a comparable product for a bit less than 100$.

    Some of your friends and family members will not be supportive.

    I'm noticing this!! It's like they are mad at me. I had to let a friend go because she was being so negative and making nasty remarks on fb. This is why I decided to check this community out.

    But not everyone is. I love seeing and hearing success stories.

    I got a road bicycle and dove in!

    I found out the skin tight jersey and padded pants actually work well for long rides

    It is cool to able to wear it and have no love handles or overhang!
