emancipateurself

-I used to have to inject insulin 5 times a day..now my diabetes is controlled through diet and excercise
- new clothes...love it but super expensive
- no more blood pressure medication
- can fit in my car better
- people talk to me in public instead of shunning me
-

the list goes on and on

my smaller backside = more legroom on planes

I just noticed that this month! I hadn't realized. Also - the seatbelt buckles with no problems now, and I can put my arms on the armrests again without any weird effort.

I also can do yoga poses easier, can see my toes without sucking in my belly, and I have ....collarbones!

So exciting.

I have to buy new clothes

My skin got clearer

Girls started turning their heads to look at me when i pass by

My cycling speed DOUBLED

I no longer get winded doing ordinary tasks

My house is cleaner as i have more energy nowadays to clean it

The amount of trash i throw away has decreased

My poo doesn't smell as bad, and its on a regular schedule, once a day (high fiber content in fruit and veg)

Daily heel pain is GONE!!!

My mind is clearer/i think better and faster

There are, i'm sure, many more benefits that i forget at this moment. I notice new things everyday. Life has changed completely, for the better, simply by eating more fruits and veggies, and (mostly) quitting the meat, dairy, and processed food.

The good: I threw out my back last year, and ever since I started exercising it hurts far less. My heart murmur has quieted , I don't have as many palpitations. I feel better, happier, like I can do more. My skin is even better, believe it or not. My body just feels like it's running better.

The bad: All of my clothes don't fit. All of them. And, even though OP is a guy, and this might be TMI, -- my boobs got flatter! Hate that the most.. Also, my toe-nails got messed up from all the running, and I started getting more athlete's foot issues.

Your shoes sound to small, did you buy 1/2 size bigger for your running shoes?

My pants are loose in the thighs, aside from falling down a bit more.
I don't mind exercising as much, and am more excited to try new things (bike riding, etc.).
I crave unhealthy foods less.

Skinny_Beans

My boobs are smaller :C

The pad of fat and skin under my boobs is also smaller

I look good in practically anything

My arms are the last place for the fat to leave :C

I can walk up stairs and jog without becoming asthmatic

My family teases me about being skinny again

Wow! These ARE some great things! Some other things I noticed:

I'm off the C-PAP machine since I sleep all night without it now, and don't have to get up three times a night to pee.
I'm off my BP meds.
It's harder to sit on hard surfaces because my butt is bonier. :-)
Lots of positive feedback when I posted after pics on Facebook!
My girlfriend is nicer to me and keeps a closer eye on me!
I have way more more energy ( My girlfriend has mixed feelings about that one!) .

Keep it going!

Ciao, Marc

So many positive things:

- off cholesterol medication
- off diabetes medication
- lower BP
- loose shoes and motorcycle boots (didn't realize this would happen)
- women aggressively hitting on me (flattering and somewhat amusing)
- incredible annual physical improvements

negatives:

- costs a fortune in new clothing ($600 riding leather - $150 cut - suits - dress slacks - shirts - jeans - boxers - shoes - etc)
- back pain (this one is strange and a new thing to me)
- boney butt sitting on hard surfaces
- many people who have known me for years only want to talk to me about weight loss now and how I've done it
- Biker Bros now calling me "Not So Badd Bob"

It's all good though!!!

Although it is bittersweet, my pants are falling off of me and I have to buy new clothes. Now, I am trying to wear all of my favorite clothes all the time so I can "mourn" them before they get donated because they will forever be TOO big for me!

I've noticed that I sleep better now. And I don't breath as hard as I used to. However, I feel like I sweat a lot more now than before. I'm still always feeling hot!

I feel so much more confident! This one may be silly, but I think my dog behaves better, especially on walks, because I am more confident and my posture is better and he can tell I'm the "pack leader" haha.

The positive for me would be:

- the great feeling when I finish a long walk. I feel so alive.
- all my clothes no longer fit me.

DianeG213

No more heartburn keeping me up at night!

tistal

I have problem sitting on hard surfaces because of the lack of padding on my butt.

KyliAnnHobson

No more heartburn keeping me up at night!

Yes! I used to have heartburn every single night and now I couldn't tell you the last time I had it!

KarensCanDoIt

I can sleep on my side once again without feeling pain or shortness of breath.

I went through the majority of my wardrobe yesterday afternoon. I had to get rid of a few things that just looked rediculous but I found a few things that are leaning towards being to big but I put them all at the front of the closet so I can get in some use before it's too late!!

jaykneisel

touch toes, cross legs, tie shoes with my knee up near my face, pick up things on the floor WITHOUT a grunt, seat belt has alot of slack, rings are close to slipping off, can sit up from a laying position without a aforementioned GRUNT, can crawl on the ground without knees screaming at me, climb a ladder one foot over the other, sleep thru the night without having to pee every 3 hours because of that nasty soda! endurance and stamina are amazing. and i cant WAIT to see how it feels to lose 25 lbs MORE! great job to ALL of you who are "doing it". i never believed it would be this easy after finally training myself to just eat right and exercise.

GOOD -

Some of my spider veins are disappearing, especially the ugly ones on my feet. And, I haven't added any new spider veins in the last year! :happy:

Lots more muscle definition. It is fun to look in the mirror and see rippling.

My feet are much less sensitive to cold, which may also have to do with the minimal shoes I wear. :glasses:



BAD -

Hard surface sitting issue - check. :huh:

New wardrobe - check. :sad:

My feet are more sensitive to shoe pressure. I've gotten rid of the itchy, scratchy footwear that my less padded feet cannot handle anymore. :ohwell:

tracyface399

ME TOO!!! I am getting frustrated that my husband turns the AC on all the time. I never used to be like that!

I enjoy hot weather sooo much more. Last year I hated it, this year I've been going running in it! X
