Those who’ve lost a significant amount

I'm at about a 98lb loss so far and the difference in myself is unbelievable. I have confidence I never knew I had. I feel amazing. More energy and it doesn't hurt me to just function on the daily. Keep at It, it is worth it

Yes! I lost 72 lbs. My feet never hurt from walking. I don’t snore anymore. I do have more energy, but sometimes I forget I’m not fat and think I’m too tired to do something, but I’m actually not too tired.

It’s weird how my brain thinks I am still obese, but when I get up and move I realize I’m not obese anymore. It gives me so much joy when I realize I’m light on my feet now. I still avoid looking at myself in the mirror, but every once and a while I will catch a glimpse and my reaction is “crap I’m skinny” (for me anyway). Lol

OP, if you feel so bad now, make sure you aren’t cutting calories too much. Weight loss takes time and patience. You have to live a good life even when you are losing weight.

I've lost 50kg/110lbs so far and the change has been drastic. I never thought that feeling so bleh and unmotivated all the time was down to my weight. I also thought my back, feet and knee pain was just random and unlucky but most of this has disappeared over time too.

I'm not sure if it's all related to losing the weight but I sleep a lot better now which probably helps. I feel less sluggish and can't stand to spend 24 hours stuck in the house. I choose stairs now over elevators and also find it easier to park as I don't need to find the car park as close as possible to my location!
I choose to do things straight away without procrastinating as much and I actually look forward to getting out and about while running errands whereas at my heaviest (153kg/337lbs) I would do all my shopping etc online and only leave the house for work and when it was absolutely necessary. I still have a way to go but I assume it will just get easier.

Hmmm, I’m about 69lb down and I bounce a lot more. Like, I do this skip-jump-bounce thing going down flights of stairs. And I’m pretty bouncy when I go up stairs. And I take super long speedy strides when I walk.

I've lost about 45lb and still want to lose around 10-15,but definitely notice a lot of differences. I do have more energy, an really notice at work when I have challenging patients I can work with them a lot easier. Things such as crouching (squats lol) etc are so much easier.

I actually Want to exercise and start feeling jumpy if I haven't done anything in a few days. I regular run and actually enjoy it. I find I like the challenge now.

A weird side effect I found was swimming. I used to be really buoyant but now have to use a lot more energy to keep afloat. That was a surprise!

I'm down a little over 100 lbs with a few left and the difference is amazing. The ability to do things makes me more active, I'm a Boot Camp fan. Haven't been in an elevator in months. I have a new job that involves a lot of phone time, and it makes me nuts, so I have to get up and move periodically, even just walking down the hall and back. And the mental changes are even greater, I want and like to be active. I spent my whole adult life being a couch potato so this is a huge difference. And it's all worth it.
