What do you love now that you've lost weight?

lady6starlight

I love now being able to shop in practically every store at the mall.

However, affording the clothes is a whole different story...

wjstoj

My breast cuz they look big now that im smaller!

Quoted for awesomeness

I love putting on clothes that didn't fit for years, and I'm glad that I kept them.

SHOPPING!!!!!

JMRod

I love going shopping and not buying something because I can, nit because it didn't fit.

I love that I'm off my blood pressure meds and my "happy" pill.

I love that I look forward to running 5ks on holidays.

I love that I can play with my 2 year old granddaughter on the playground.

But most of all, I LOVE me! I no longer hate myself for letting myself go and doing nothing to fix it.

Life is so good!

I love that I can actually see my collar bone.

I love the things that I can do now. I feel like the possibilities are endless, I love being athletic. I love physical challenges now, and love that I can actually compete. I feel like the world has opened up for me and there's nothing that I can't do. And maybe I can't do everything now (like I'm dying to be able to do a pull up), but I know that I now have the knowledge, strength, confidence and power to train for and accomplish my goals.

BossLadyDSimp

I love that my son sees me working out and wants to do it with me!

I love that I can control my food and it doesnt feel like the food controls me!

I love putting on shirts that just fall and dont hug so tight

(great question)

TheSlorax

I would like to add sending semi dirty pictures over kik to my list.

joesimtre

The fact that I can buy normal people clothes. Size 34 jeans are much easier to find than size 44 jeans.

MB_Positif

I would like to add sending semi dirty pictures over kik to my list.

How YOU doin'?

I love my legs. Duh.

AddieOverhaul

I love that I enjoy shopping for clothes again - it's been a long time since I got teary in a changeroom!

I love that I'm no longer embarrassed to do things like go hiking with people other than my closest friends. Before I would only go with my best friends because I didn't want anyone else to see how red and out of breath I got. Hiking is now one of my favorite things to do!

I love feeling attractive again.

I love being able to do yoga and not feel like my fat is getting in the way.

I love the fact that I can see my entire jawline again, as well as my collar bones!

Not having a double chin in pictures.
Running and not hating every second of it.
Wearing more form fitting clothes instead of hiding behind open cardis.
Having a 2 as the second number in my size instead of the first.
Not seeing a 2 as the first number in my weight.
Getting compliments!
That I won't have to look at my SIL's wedding pictures for years to come and noticing how fat I am/was (I lost 70 pounds before her wedding last week!) but instead see how beautiful we all looked.
More energy and not feeling so run down.

I love being active, especially running. I've done some obstacle races and they've all been a blast. Warrior Dash, Tough Mudder, the 5K foam fest, spartan sprint... Plus I've ran as Santa, a Bandito, in Laderhosen, and just for the sheer love of the run. 2 years ago I couldn't get out of bed without losing my breath now I run 4-5 days a week and I'm going to run my first full marathon next year and probably my 2nd & 3rd half marathons.

I've run out through the giant inflatable patriots helmet and across the 50 yardline at Gillette Stadium as part of a 10K. I've done it for the the last 2 years running on the day before the 4th of July and I plan on doing it every year until I am unable to even crawl.

So basically I love being able to be active.

MarshaMole

I love being able to run
I love the feeling of not being looked at because you are fat

but I really love the fact I can sit on my hubbies lap and not feel afraid I am going to crush him :blushing:

AusAshMommy

I am still working on losing the weight, and am just getting started BUT

I love that I am 10lbs down and now just about every pair of pants/skirt I own is too loose (jeans included)
I love that I can "shop" my closet for clothes I haven't been able to wear in a long time
I love that my kids and hubby are proud of my for every little step

jennybennypenny

I love that I don't have that disappointment of not fitting into clothes that I really really liked on the hanger. No more crying in dressing rooms.

I love that I'm in single digit pants sizes for the first time since middle school.

I love that I am now athletic. I went from being the person who thought athleticism was something you are just born with--you either have it or you don't--to being the person who works to meet my fitness goals, and knows that they are possible with enough dedication and consistency.

I love knowing how much food I should be eating and how that gives me the freedom to eat pizza and hamburgers and cake without feeling bad about it later. Also without losing control and eating all the pizza and all the cake because, "Well, I already went off my diet today."

Phaedra2014

I love my athleticism.

I also love the attention I'm getting :laugh:

drvvork

I love that I can now once again slide my size 1 jeans up and sport my high heels. It had been so long. :bigsmile:
I can shop off the clearance racks and almost always find my size - saving $$ is a real plus.
I love that all my jeans now fit into one load in the washer. Lord knows I hadn't always been able to do that. :blushing:

katznkt

I'm no where near goal, but...

I go to an old school dr who has to add weights to the scale to see how much I weigh. I love that he now only has to add the 100 lb one instead of the 200 lb one. Woo hoo!!!

_EndGame_

I just love the fact I'm not as fat as I was 6 months ago!

fitmomhappymom

I love that I can do 60 mins cardio, when before I started my journey I couldn't even do 10.

svsl0928

Rozydreams

I love shopping in regular size stores. There is a whole new world out there and it's cheaper!
I love being able to cross my legs, seriously more comfortable to sit.
I love being able to run without feeling like I'm going to pass out from lack of oxygen (5K soon!)
I love when I travel I don't worry about being too tired from all the walking and sightseeing.
I love not feeling ashamed and embarrassed in public. But it makes me sad I felt like that for so long.
I love I'm finally bringing the best me to my marriage. My supportive husband deserves the best me!
I love not worrying "what am I going to wear" because it all looks pretty good.

mahanaibu

I love getting out more in the world and socializing, volunteering, bring willing to show up. That's in ways not something I love to say about myself, because I never should have let my weight interfere, but I felt so embarrassed about my looks, and didn't treat myself to nice clothes. I was worth the clothes when I was obese, and I shouldn't have denied myself a good time. But there you have it. I no longer feel embarrassed to be me.

Lemmynade

Needed this today! Congratulations to all of you for all of your successes!

I love that I can properly fit in the clothes I have already - no cutting or digging, and some are even too big.
I love all the compliments I get.
I love eating in control.
I have always loved the gym, but not the nutrition side of weight loss, so now I love the gym MORE because I see more results!
I love the community here, and the support given!

kirschkuchen

I love skirts and shorts.

lisalsd1

I've been able to reshape my big butt, so it pops out now.
Since the rest of my body is small, I actually LIKE having a big butt.
I like that there are a couple of creepers that stare at my butt at the gym...it makes my husband jealous (that's the part that I like...is that bad?! Haha!)
AND I would pass the Presidential Fitness tests for a 17 year old now that I am in my 30s.

jennb44

I love who I see in the mirror now.
I love the way I look in clothes now (being able to wear two sizes smaller and feeling comfortable in them).
I love all the compliments I get especially hearing my Dad say how proud and great I look.
I love having control over my new lifestyle and what goes in my mouth!

MissKalhan

Ahhh I love this!

I love that when I go to my hometown and run into people I haven't seen in years I get complimented. The fat kid is no longer!
I love that sports I was forced to do in gym class is now something I enjoy to do and go out of my way to do regularly.
I love that my asthma is no longer a big health problem for me, still have my emergency puffer but haven't had to use it in years.
I love my arms!
I love pushing myself further than old me would of ever imagined.
I love that I love running!

WilmaDennis91

My legs! They're so much more toned and I love how they look in heels
