Also, the cold, oh my lord the cold. I've never been a cold person, I used to wear short sleeves in winter and now I'm constantly wearing long sleeves. How bad is it going to be once I'm at goal?

I am also cold all the time. I have a space heater in my office that I use almost every day. It has been this way for the last 4 years!

That moment when you can climb up the stairs without holding on the handrail. Amazing.4

I've noticed this quite a bit lately too! While I may not be getting whistled at, I am definitely catching people looking at me and I caught a man checking me out when I was wearing a fitted dress this week!

That your priorities change. Fitting in my exercise is now a really high priority for me. As is making time to shop for and cook healthy food. Previously those two things were the bottom of the list - which resulted in an obese me eating take aways and watching lots of telly far too often. It is making it hard to fit in other things - like studying for my exam on Monday! Exercise is a great procrastination tool6

- Those who have seen me go up and down over the years are not saying anything about my weight loss (and they never say anything about the gains either)
- Working out makes you smaller even when the weight loss is not so great.
- Sometimes your friends need to change to enable your goals (aka no more drinking night out with the girls.)
Perfect! There are days I have to work at reaching my 1240 calorie goal & I like to eat! Eating tons of fresh veggies, lean protein, yogurt, nuts, fruit and whole grains like quinoa.
People I haven't seen in awhile have not reacted to my 40 lb loss. Building our own self confidence has become important.

To really like who you are becoming, a strange and welcome inner happiness that radiates at your commitment and power as we continue pushing forward.
To get excited about fitting into some favorite clothes that were way to small or tight ....then finding out they become too big! Finding new healthy recipes and sneaking them on friends and family who like them.4 -

Hahaha this is good, I've only lost a few pounds but now all I talk
About is fitness and people are getting annoyed hehe, and posting all my food online... I think because I'm eating healthy everyone else should. It's hard when you start feeling good not to share, it's not bragging but it's more of a.. I finally did it!!6 -

Clothes shopping. I used to hate it and I used to hate going with my wife. I used to just go and sit at a coffee shop for 2 hours while she goes off and does her thing.
Yesterday I did the impossible though. I outshopped my wife lol We went to 5 or 6 different stores and I tried on LOADS of clothes. Why? Because I could. They fit lol Jackets, shirts, everything. Weird cause I was just looking for gloves. Eventually my wife gave up and said "Carry on I'll wait here for you". I didn't buy anything cause I couldn't find the gloves I wanted lol13 -
That your super comfortable chair might end up feeling way too big and like you're attempting to sit on a bag of rocks.1

How you just can't sit there anymore because you have so much energy and just have to get up and move around or something..3

Love this whole thread. Thank you, makes me realise how I could be feeling !!6 -
It is getting warm and muggy where I live and I have been having hot flashes. Not a good combination. I will start feeling hot, or be hot for awhile and have to ask someone else, is it hot in here, or is it just me. Do we need to turn on the AC or what. I seriously can't figure out if it's me or is it really too hot. I feel like I'm sweating too much. Wish I was cold like everyone else. I'm a quilter, I have a ton of quilts and could just cover up.
I just hope all the heat doesn't slow down my exercising. I have been doing really good with it.5
