What I love about having lost weight is not suffering in hot weather. I used to just be miserable during the summer and this year I hear people complaining about how hot it is outside and I think, hmm, really, I hadn't noticed.

    I haven't lost all my weight, but I have noticed that while I am 'losing' I am constantly cold in winter, but not nearly as hot in summer...yay!

    I agree completely! I have noticed this too. Not only because I have less weight on me, but also because I get to wear less clothing!! I don't feel the need to cover up so much now, so I can wear shorts again and I can wear dresses for the first time in my life! Yay us!!! I do feel way more energized and confident. I feel amazing, so I don't even notice the heat now!

    I agree completely, I can run up 3 flights of stairs and not be winded. I often beat the 25 year old guys up the stairs!

    funny thing is, i was just mentioning this to my husband on Tuesday. we spent the day at Six Flags and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I am WAY less miserable with less weight on.

    Feeling like I can do anything! I'm looking forward to things instead of looking for an out! :smile: I don't hesitate to go on a bike ride with my kids, get in the pool, pull weeds in my garden......the list keeps growing!
