For those that have lost a significant amount of weight, what were you most surprised about/what struck you most about the journey?

For me, it was my boost in confidence. I constantly read places that losing weight won't increase your self-esteem/confidence. I'm still pretty shy, but my confidence has definitely gotten a big boost.

I've also found out weird things about the body and definition. I've discovered bones and parts of muscles that I never knew really existed.

    I've been confident with my body, but I've always hated my stomach cuz it looks like I'm 4 months pregnant. So far with workout and healthy eating, I noticed that my frame been getting smaller and my stomach is getting a little smaller. It made me confident enough to throw on a bikini to see how I look in the mirror!
