    Digging out a beloved pair of pants I bought in England 20 years ago. They became too tight in the waist and I couldn't bear to throw them away. I tried them on this morning (prior to actually throwing them out) and they buttoned up and fit. Yeah! Slightly out of date but then, so am I and fashion does a circle anyway. Two old work skirts fit too!

    The clothes is a big plus even if nothing fits me for more than a few weeks for the past 8 months.
    Feeling much less self conscious. I don't need to check weight limit on everything now, I don't feel judge eating crap in public, sitting in a chair and only taking 2/3 of it instead of 4/3.

    I've lost 65 pounds and have reached my goal weight of 176. The best part was buying new clothes. The worst part was having to pack up clothes that I really, really liked. I still have a lot of 2X shirts hanging in the closet I just can't bring myself to packing out to the barn.

    I do want to mention a downside to eating healthier. I cannot handle foods that used to be alright. Sat., I had some barbeque sauce that was moderately spicy. It wasn't terrible, and I have had much spicier sauces. I only had a small amount, as this was at a tasting (so it was just a small spoonful, nothing with it).

    Anyway, it made me ill... I was vomiting later. I had eaten some other fatty foods that day, and maybe that made it worse, but I could definitely tell what it was as it was coming back up. I fear that my stomach strength has been lost. :(

    I'm happy that the motivation of losing weight and getting healthy has helped me to stop smoking and drinking! I Haven't had a cigarette in 2 weeks. :)
    Also my skin is looking 10x better

    I love the energy I get from working out! My clothes are fitting better and my husband told me that my butt feels smaller. I also think all the extra water I am drinking is helping me skin because it looks better than it has in years!

    Right now, nothing. I want my food back. I'm very much in a comfort food mood right now. And I feel like stuffing my face but I am will-powering through that. I'm too tired today.

    I've gotten my mobility back. I still have arthritis in my lower spine, hips, knees and feet, but I'm pain free 95% of the time. I can lift things now that weigh at least as much as I've lost. I wear a 16/18 down from a 34 or 4X, so can shop the resale stores as well as just about anywhere else I want. I physically fit anywhere I want to be and no longer need seat belt extanders in anything. I can use without breaking those fold up put in a bag lawn/beach chairs. My husband and grandkids can get their arms all the way around me. I'm OFF my blood pressure and daily arthritis meds. I could go on but I think you all get the idea.

    Clothes that I used to wear actually look good on me again. I also like that I feel like I accomplished something when I finish working out. Not everyone goes and run 3 miles at one time.
