    Agree with boobs and warmth!! But, it's a small price to pay :ohwell:

    I'm always cold NOW I can't imagine how cold I'll be 80 pounds smaller!!! I'm going to be walking around dressed like an Eskimo... Which, you know, is fairly common in Texas...

    I miss having a notably higher tolerance to alcohol, and I'm always cold now.
    these
    also;
    -having a big jolly belly
    -having a big enough belly to put a plate or even a drink on while sitting down
    -emptying the pool with a single cannon-ball

    A part of me says 'I don't miss a THING'!

    Another part of me misses the 'whatever' attitude - 'I ate half a pizza - WHATEVER'!

    I guess I'd rather care - than be chubby though.

    I don't miss it much...but enjoying things like an enormous Starbucks white mocha with whip, or five cookies at a time, without feeling much guilt or concern.

    (FTR I indulge a lot, do the 'fit your macros' thing...but I sometimes miss that completely blissful, oblivious snacking)

    Pretty much this!
    And maybe being able to drink more than one beer before getting tipsy.

    I'm only halfway to my goal weight and I already notice the alcohol tolerance. I used to be able to outdrink some of the guys... now I get girly-tipsy and it's embarassing.

    I also sort of miss the option of potentially eating large portions. Like sometimes I want to allow myself a cheat day and order two pizzas. Half a year ago I could easily eat those. Now I get stomach cramps and feel incredibly sick because I can't handle that much food anymore.

    Here's my list:

    - Buying new shoes every 3 months because I used to destroy shoes with my weight
    - Being warm in winter because of the extra insulation
    - The extra padding on my backside when sitting on unpadded chairs and benches

    How about everyone else?

    Seriosly!? why in the HELL is almost every chair in known excistence uncomfortable!? I notice I find myself standing more than sitting at certian places now.

    As others have said, I do sometimes miss that quality of "unthinking"; eating whatever I wanted whenever I wanted with little/no regret and little/no planning, not moving from my armchair for eight hours while watching a movie marathon, not trying to fit exercise in anywhere when busy, etc., etc.

    That said, those factors that I miss are far outweighed by all tho positive gains that come with getting more fit. I feel better, am less concerned about health risks, like the way clothes fit better, am more confident, can do more, etc. A bit of planning and mindfulness are totally worth it. ^_^

    I miss the freedom with which I used to eat. I miss shopping for, and eating, whatever I felt like on a whim, and not having to consider whether or not it fits into my day, or how I'm going to fit it in, and plan everything out.

    I miss feeling a bit more comfortable sitting (and whenever I bump into things because I'm so clumsy) - everything is so uncomfortable now without the extra padding.

    I miss not being cold all the time.

    And boobs.

    Still totally worth it though.

    Warmth and padding, it really hurts sitting or laying on hard seats, the floor, etc now. :(

    Weekly strength gains, now it's a struggle to even maintain a 295 bench.

    I miss all the clothes I donated that were a bit snug, wish I had them back because they would fit just right now.

    +1

    Also miss the body fat insulation in the winter. I feel cold all the time between fall and spring!

    I miss the chivalry in the office when it came to lifting heavy boxes....now they know I can lift without much issue.....must not show my true strength in the office...or I might do all the lifting!

    and oddly my alcohol tolerance has increased as I am losing. when I was fluffier I would have one beer and my head would spin...now it takes at least 2-3 for me to feel anything
