    I love that I can now bend down to tie my shoes, not having to sit down and bring my shoe to me.

    I love:

    Wearing a size 10
    Feeling my bones coming out
    Feeling lighter in weight and in life
    Getting to know my husband better as we go though this together

    Yeah, feeling my bones is cool. Feeling sexy and feminine is cool too - I hadn't felt that way for a while, it's nice to have it back.

    My teeny tiny waist, flat abs and muscle definition. (I'm sexy and I know it - joking peeps!)

    I was a healthy obese person lab wise and vital signs wise, or I would have that on top of my list.

    Same here, definitely...although I am still obese!

    I love:
    fitting in any bath tub comfortably
    only getting short of breath when I've been running or played a solid hour of tennis or basketball
    my ankles never swell like they did at my heaviest
    comfortably crossing my legs for the first time ever
    fitting in theater seats - even at the old school 1920s movie theater
    grabbing any booth at any restaurant and fitting nicely
    people describing my body as athletic or hourglass (which I don't really agree with either, but it's cool to hear!!)
    being able to take the stairs even in a 12 story building, when most of my friends can't hack it
    not getting food/drink on my chest when I eat
    my husband telling me how tiny I feel on top of him now, or reveling in the fact that he can now "feel my stomach muscles" when he's on top of me
    not being the fattest woman in the room (I honestly didn't pay too much attention to this even before, it's kind of tasteless/rude...but it's nice to know I'm generally not)

    I went to a concert on Saturday night. I used to stress out before events like that because if I didn't have an end seat I would worry that I would crowd the person next to me or that they were thinking mean things about the fat girl they had to sit next to.

    Not fitting or crowding never even crossed my mind. It was so liberating to not worry about my size!

    I love that I can now see veins in my arms. it was actually the first thing I noticed. I know its kinda weird but when you go your entire life with doctors spending hours trying to find a vein on you then all of a sudden they are completely visible....I dont know its a good feeling :)

    thanks OP, this topic made my day


    Cheers all!!

    I love fitting in smaller clothes and not being plus size. I went from a size 14 to a size 6. I love feeling better about myself, getting compliments about my determination, and being healthier.

    I love now being able to shop in practically every store at the mall.

    However, affording the clothes is a whole different story...

    I love putting on clothes that didn't fit for years, and I'm glad that I kept them.

    I love going shopping and not buying something because I can, nit because it didn't fit.

    I love that I'm off my blood pressure meds and my "happy" pill.

    I love that I look forward to running 5ks on holidays.

    I love that I can play with my 2 year old granddaughter on the playground.

    But most of all, I LOVE me! I no longer hate myself for letting myself go and doing nothing to fix it.

    Life is so good!

    I love the things that I can do now. I feel like the possibilities are endless, I love being athletic. I love physical challenges now, and love that I can actually compete. I feel like the world has opened up for me and there's nothing that I can't do. And maybe I can't do everything now (like I'm dying to be able to do a pull up), but I know that I now have the knowledge, strength, confidence and power to train for and accomplish my goals.

    I love that my son sees me working out and wants to do it with me!

    I love that I can control my food and it doesnt feel like the food controls me!

    I love putting on shirts that just fall and dont hug so tight

    (great question)

    The fact that I can buy normal people clothes. Size 34 jeans are much easier to find than size 44 jeans.
