    Fitting into the world around me so easily. I didn't realize that so many things were uncomfortable for me, or just didn't fit me before. Office chairs with arms, movie theater seats, amusement park rides, car seat belts, smaller booths in restaurants...I fit, but not really. NOW I fit ***comfortably*** with room to spare on both sides of my body, and it's fabulous.

    A lot of times I feel like I look the same and have not lost "much" weight (I've lost 36 lb on MFP since March but in the past 5 yrs I've lost close to 80 lb total)...then I realize, when I look at the tiny booth in an old diner, I don't have to worry anymore. My boobs and belly won't be squished in. I'll just fit. And I LOVE THAT!

    I was always so self-conscious about carrying lots of weight around my thighs and I always dressed to disguise my saddlebags. Now those pesky bulgy bits are GONE -- and I am loving wearing the brightly coloured pants and figure-hugging dresses I was too scared to even try on before :smile:
    Awesome ,and I know without a doubt you are rocking them pretty girl!!

    I'm still very early in the weight loss, but I like how I feel stronger and more in control of what I'm doing.

    Physically, I love feeling where I'm losing weight. It's in all these weird spots, where there's little indents and whatnot. I can't wait to see if when I'm wearing clothes, lol, but those weird spots keep me assured that I'm doing the right thing.

    I like that I smile so much more now. Every one has been telling my husband that I seem so much happier and look better because of the confidence. I also love how he is so flirty with me now, like we are dating again. Not that he ever ignored me or anything like that, but it is obvious that he likes the changes I've made.

    I'm getting my hourglass figure back. Also, for me it is less about weight and more about inches. I've lost 48 cumulative inches in 102 days!
    Wow!!! Thats awesome ....you are the inch whisper :) So happy for you ...wtg ,and i know you are rocking that hour glass figure:)

    This thread is so inspirational! I am anxiously awaiting the day that I will experience some of these things for myself. I too want to have collarbones and hip bones and a jawline. And one day I will wear normal sized clothes and maybe even have some muscle definition. Can't wait!!! Thanks for the motivation!
    And that day will come,just keep going because as you see we all have been where you are and ,i still have more to go :) You are gonna rock all these things sweetie !!

    I didn't lose much weight, but for me it's just having my nice figure back. Everything is solid and firm, my legs and booty and waist. I like having muscle definition all over my body.
    I love your picture,I love the action in it...life happening ....Congrats :)

    This slight inward curve on the front of my thigh above my knees....probably a weird thing to notice and I certainly never noticed when that curve disappeared as I gained but when I saw it was back I got all excited about my leg curves.

    Also I can see muscle definition on my back which I never really could before. :D
    Thats not weird ,thats your curve and im sure you are rocking it. I love what you said about not seeing it disappear ,because isnt that the the truth ,i didnt either !! Keep it up:)

    Being able to tie my shoes without having to pick my foot up on the chair beside me.

    Being able to paint my own toenails.

    Noticing bones in my legs, chest, arms, and hips that I haven't seen in a long time. (-:

    My favorite change is my brain. I'm much more confident and less self conscious about how I look.
    Empowerment at its finest!

    Not being so paranoid about wearing a bra with a tight top ( excess side fat? don't know what to call it but your fat spills out over the sides of your bra) Also no back boobs.

    Yesterday I tried on a ring my husband gave me for our 1st anniversary (13 yrs ago) that hasn't fit for at least 10 years. It fits! And the wedding ring that I had resized larger now sometimes falls off, I've been wearing it on my middle finger.
