    The only true side effect in a bad way is I get cold a lot easier and my bra size went down :ohwell:

    Yeah, tell me about it. I dread shopping at Victoria's Secret since I have lost weight, cause oftentimes they don't carry my size. It's too dang small. :brokenheart:

    But for good side effects, I don't go through a bottle of baby powder once a month anymore to soothe the inner thigh heat rashes I used to get from just walking...

    I don't have to use as much deodorant or body spray...I don't know what it is about large amounts of body fat, but it sure does tend to smell...

    I don't have asthma anymore! I used to carry an inhaler around with me, but I haven't used it in years since I started losing weight. I was the one in the aerobics classes in the gym hiding in the back cause I didn't want everyone to see me use my inhaler...now I don't have to! I can breathe again.

    I can play with cats and dogs without getting tired...and I can play with my friend's kids without pooping out either. How many overweight people have you seen have trouble doing those activities? It makes me sad for them and I wanna help them all out!

    well I cut out soda entirely back in Dec. 2009. I haven't drank one drop. a month ago my evil friends tricked me into taking a sip of coke and I immediately got a headache like effect. well thats good! more reason never to drink it again! I now get headaches!

    I just found another one.

    My Dr. wanted to put me on blood pressure medicine. My blood pressure is now down to 115 over 72 without medication.

    I don't have to pay "fat tax" when buying clothes. That's what I call the $2 extra stores like Wal-Mart charges when buying XXL or larger.

    Seriously... I am more honest with myself. No longer do the lifestyle workarounds that I used to do.
    I don't go out of my way to eat alone. I used to find some hidden place to eat away from coworkers or civilization in general.
    I no longer wear the crotch out of my Dockers every 3 months.
    I save the handicap bathroom stalls for those need it.
    Don't worry about family, friend, etc. talking about my weight or making jokes behind my back... which they all did.

    You, my friend, are FUNNY. :laugh: I love your posts, you tell it like it really is. Congrats on your success!
