Since beginning your weightloss-

Options
Have you noticed anything different about your body (other than the fact it's shrinking haha) like can you flex a body part you couldn't before (like me, I can flex my thighs now haha weird, I know). Have you gained a little more self-control when it comes to junk foods? I guess this post is more of a success story for you guys haha :)

    Ive really noticed that my legs are a lot stronger and my stomach is harder and a little more toned! Also I find it soooo much easier to focus on eating healthy things instead of junk. Like now Id rather have an apple instead of the cookies and chips sitting on the counter. I have also noticed that im will to try more healthy foods. Like I use to hate mushrooms and tomatoes but now I love them! I have changed for the better!

    I moved my arm a certain way while I was holding it with my other hand, and I noticed a "growth" that scared me. Turns out it's a muscle. LOL

    Since the beginning of my weight loss, I've noticed a change in how people respond to me, and how I respond to others. I'm more confident, deliberate and candid. I'm also more open and transparent about my feelings, which is improving my personal relationships....

    I can really say I truly love who I've grown to be... :wink:

    I also have thigh muscles now hehehe! :laugh:

    I feel like my body changes everyday. My eyes look bigger. My lips look fuller. Aside from smaller clothes, I wear smaller shoes. I had to move my feet up in my car because I couldn't reach the pedals any longer thanks to a smaller butt :). I think about every single bite I place into my mouth now rather than blindly eating things. I have more energy and I get ALOT more attention ;).

    I've lost 66lbs in total now (my counter says 40 something because that's when I joined this site). I notice a definite lack of jiggle. lol. Sometimes I jump up and down just to notice the lack of jiggle. Sometimes I do it in my underwear. As weird as that sounds, I have a point (no I'm not a pervert). Before I lost weight, I hated my body and wouldn't look at myself in the mirror with out clothes on (if I looked in the mirror at all). Since losing that weight, I'm pumped. I'm always looking in the mirror. I do so without a shirt on, because I notice a huge difference. Since losing the weight, I have self confidence :). Here's to another 18lbs before September :) Or at least lose fat and ton up :)

    Legs are much more defined from walking, my thighs barely touch anymore when walking and my belly roll from ahving my son is shrinking! Also, when I lay on my back, I can only see boobs, no belly sticking up!

    Also, I have had a huge surge in confidence, many people have complimented me and many have even told me how confident I seem now.

    I smile a lot more. I'm just happier and more at peace with myself and my life. It's pretty great!

    And my posture is a little better - it's like when I'm walking around I'm trying to show off that there's something vaguely reminiscent of a waist in there somewhere.

    So much more energy! Properly fueling my body has done wonders for my energy, and for my habits. I don't want to put a lot of garbage in my system because it will not help me feel my best. I'm still not perfect, but I'm doing better!

    I'm so much stronger- just a month in and I can already tell that I am stronger everywhere on my body.

    Because I am focusing on making sure I have healthy leftovers for lunches and other snacks and alternatives when I need them, I don't get fast food any more, which means I'm saving TONS of money! (this one is such a huge plus that really has nothing at all to do with physical fitness.)

    Clothes that I thought were just poorly cut or sized wonky are starting to fit. That bra wasn't poorly assembled, it was just not the right size. Now that I've lost inches, the wires don't jab me any more!

    My confidence has gone through the roof. I've always been confident and almost cocky, but the more I work on my outward appearance, the more I love the inner me.



    Thanks everyone for sharing!!! These are all great things to hear!!!

    I was Skyping with my mom with my arms propped up on the desk. I started to tell her how much weight lifting I had been doing and began to lift my arms. I noticed in my webcam window that my shoulder muscle began flexing. I got distracted, poked it with my finger and said, "Well, look at that. Hello, shoulders".

    Other areas that are now "poke-able": biceps, hamstrings, calves, hipbone (when lying down).

    I started out just wanting to be skinny. Now, I would much rather be buff. (Not scary-man buff but I-could-really-mess-you-up-while-looking-this-hot buff)

    Apart from various places of my body being more toned and muscles more visible, I am now finally happy when I look in the mirror. It took ages and healthy living but finally even my muffin looks pretty good in the morning.
    My TOM is much much easier.
    My health has improved significantly.
    I can shop for discounted clothes and almost always find my size there.
    I wear my bikini proudly first time in my life.
    I have so much more energy... I actually dance in the street (dont laugh:P).

    Well I can see collar, wrist shoulder blades, hip knee ankle bones. I can cross my legs. I can stand and walk all day without having to sit. I don't need the handicap bathroom stall because I fit just fine (with my kids in too) in a regular stall. I am starting to see some definition in my upper abs. I can shop for clothes anywhere except the fat girl stores. Their clothes are all too big for me. My feet shrank which has led to the fabulous world of heels! I have endless energy now it seems. I have so many positives and only a few negative. Sooooooooo much loose skin and my brain can't keep up with me. I still see a hugely fat girl in the mirror. I only see progress in pics when I compare to old ones.
