-shop in junior stores like bootlegger and stiches.
-fit a regular towel allllllll around me!
-cross my legs comfortably
-me lifted up baby-style by my man :blushing:
-say my weight out loud in public without mortification
:bigsmile: :drinker:

Good thread! :laugh:

Run w/out getting a rash on my inner thighs.
Tie my shoe without pain.
Take my jeans off without the waistband imprinted on my gut.

-fit a regular towel allllllll around me!

When I realized I could do this (partially thanks to a breast reduction), I wanted to walk around the house all day long in that towel. It was SUCH an ego boost!!!

-cross my legs comfortably

Still amazed at how it feels. They use to die out all the time, losing circulation, pins and needles, thighs mashed together. Now, I can cross them and feel sexy with crossed legs!!

Oooooh, one of the best ones yet! No more diaper rash!

YES! the inner thigh rash and the red rim of shame on your waist. I used to get those too, UGH. Good ones!:laugh:

awestfall

I can cross my legs now too
I can bend over and put my own socks on and shoes ( I know embarrassing right to have someone else do that for you)
I can just bend over and pick my kids up without being in pain
I haven't lost as much as you guys have but I hope I will get there soon enough
These are all things I couldn't do 20 pounds heavier without being winded

Even when I would squeeze myself into Queen size pantyhose the upper inner thighs would rub. Freakin agony! :explode:

TROUBLE2

how about put my socks on without bending my knee off to the side, and sitting down?

I also agree the whole pant line imprint SUCKS!!!

Thanks Shannon

I had to work up to it.. I tend to panic swim ("OMG, need to get to the other end of the pool before I drown"), so getting the breathing down was a HUGE challenge..

things that I can do now, that I couldn't before!

See my own toes. :laugh: :happy: :laugh:

I laugh, but I'm so not kidding and you all know it. :indifferent:

chrissyh

I can shop in regular sizes not plus size!

I can run for 2 minutes without dieing!

I can tie my shoe without grunting!

memaw66

I can tie my shoes comfortably.
I can go upstairs without having to hold onto the rail and without getting totally winded!

More things to come!!!! Stay tuned! To be continued.

For the rash between your legs...I learned that you can put deodorant there and it will keep you from chafing*...one of the best tricks yet!

By the way, Congrats! Those are all super awesome things...and the litte things sometimes give us way more boost than the big ones! Thanks for sharing!

réalta

i can do 60 minutes of exercise without wanting new lungs! lol :drinker:

you are my inspiration 'kerrilucko'

we both have roughly the same amount of weight to lose and i started a little higher than you

every time i see your profile i remind myself that i can do it too! :flowerforyou:

thank you, oh and by the way, you look hot girl, well done! lol :blushing:

memaw66

I can look down and see my "girls" first instead of my stomach! I know this will change as my "girls" will probably disappear as I lose more weight (they always do :sad: ) but at least for now they are the first things I see!!!!

I can actually almost jog on the treadmill now too. Before I could barely walk it and I'm only down 11lbs!!!!

I can play with my kids without getting out of breath like I used to do, I am more self confident and I know that I can do this and get to my goal weight.

DaniNei

I can carry my almost 40 pound, 5 year old son to his room when he falls asleep on the couch without getting winded.

I can run on the treadmill at 6mph for 2 min. without getting tired.

I don't get fatigued as fast anymore when I am at my boot camp class doing exercises with 15 pound weights.

I can drag my over 40# 3 year old to the corner when he needs a time out without feeling like a heart attack is impending

I can chase my potty training 2 yo to the bathroom while sopping up pee with my sock without falling on my face

I can throw my 10 month old daughter up in the air & catch her without fear that my arms will break like twigs & we fall into a sweaty heap on the groud

I can get dressed without breaking a sweat or having to call the fire department for assistance.

I can squeeze through crowds without knocking down small children.
