Not really noticing any physical changes yet, clothes are still fitting the same and it is still is a ton of effort to exercise, but...
I am noticing that I need exercise to give me endorphins otherwise I feel really blue.
I never really noticed before the correlation between the two things and have battled in the past few years with anxiety and depression. I had a big moment last weekend where I skipped the gym drank and ate too much and was so sad the next 2 days.
I have noticed that I am a much happier person with this new exercise routine of mine:) and being kind to my body with what I put in it:)
Here's to a new weekend, full of all things that make me a truly happy healthy person.
Aaaannnnnd I Can't wait to post that I'm noticing things fitting different:):):):)

    Awesome when you see how good exercise is for you, regardless of the scale :)

    I love the endorphins that come with exercising vigorously! :) I used to struggle with depression, too, so I'm also acutely aware of my moods. It's great that you see that benefit.

    My clothes fit better especially my work uniform. I'm a bus driver so sitting a lot at work helped me to gain weight lol so my uniform was a bit snug. They feel great now.

    Even though my weight loss slowed, I went from a size 10 to an 8! I had to buy all new pants. Now some of the 8's are getting lose :smiley: I've been a 10 all my life, from 160-200 pounds never changed size. Now my body is getting leaner, more muscular, and slimming down which is amazing!

    Today, when I look down, I see the tops of my feet. Specifically, I see sandal tan lines. And I recall, 10 months back, when I could barely see the tips of my toes and couldn't for the life of me imagine what was on the bathtub floor while I showered until they wiggled at me :D

    So yeah, 50 some odd pounds later and here I am noticing my feet. It's the little things, right?
