    This is the first time I've gone all winter without catching the cold or flu. Now that I think about it, I actually haven't been sick since last April. Usually I catch everything that is going around.

    I may not be losing weight as quick as I want, but obviously I am much healthier as a result of my lifestyle change.
  • I guess I didnt REALLY expect to lose a cup size so quickly lol

    I had no idea I'd ever be able to run for a half hour without stopping...and enjoy it! :)
  • I wasn't expecting to actually enjoy exercising and miss it when I don't do it. Even when I lost weight before, I NEVER felt like that. That's how I know I've changed my life.

    I forgot to mention mine! duh!....For me it has been the learning curve of nutrition, I now think about everything that I eat and find myself planning ahead to overcome problems :)...Oh and I haven't had a beer/whiskey in nearly 3 months and I don't miss it!!

    I wasn't expecting that within two months of buying larger pants (my others were too small), that they'd be so large that I'd need to take them in!:-P I'm happy my, once too snug pants, now fit more comfortably!
