For me, the best was being more aware if what I ate, and the actual weight loss part.
The worst was not being able to eat everything I wanted to eat.
Also, how awesome you feel when someone compliments you on your weight loss..

    best thing for me was getting healthier and skinnier!

    the worst for me is probably having everything in my wardrobe a few sizes too big.. like my skinny jeans are my new baggy jeans!
    but in a way loose fitting clothes is good :)
  • Best thing: Fitting in smaller clothes, compliments, people asking me for advice on "how I did it", accomplishing fitness goals..

    Worst thing: My old cute clothes don't fit anymore and NO MORE BOOBS :(

    The Good: New clothes! Self confidence, trying new healthy recipes, compliments, making new friends at the gym, glowing skin, New clothes!!!

    The Bad: Feeling my bones (I'm still to fat to see them, but I prefer not to feel them)

    Best - feeling better & looking better (sorry, it's a tie!)

    Worst - keep needing new wardrobes.
