    1) My anxiety has lessened
    2) When I look down at my thighs/legs in size 12 jeans, or M athletic shorts, it looks like someone else's body to me
    3) My back fat (enormous rolls) went away
    Love your 1 and 2! Isnt it weird to see clothes in your closet and your like...are those mine????

    Yes! Or taking them out of the dryer...that is so weird. I still have a thing about buying jeans or pants, I always think "well yes I can wear some 12/14 but this looks tiny..." then I try them on and they fit. Yay!

    1) I can tie my shoes now. I actually had to keep my shoes tied loosely so I could slip them on and off. I can now kneel down and comfortably tie them, no breath holding or gasping.

    2) I fit in all chairs now. I used to avoid chairs with armrests.

    3) I can ride a bike for 50 miles and take a 5 mile walk shortly after.

    Congratulations! I'm still waiting for number 3 to happen for me. I just can't stop craving cheeseburgers and pizza, even after losing 52 lbs. Might just be one of those things that never goes away I guess lol.

    This is a great thread!

    1) I am happy with my figure again
    2) I can run and bike easily and for long periods of time without getting exhausted and out of breath
    3) I now wear a size 4-- haven't been able to do that since I was 16! I thought it was because of growing womanly hips, but really it was mostly fat!

    1. No chest pain(it was getting bad)
    2. I can tie my own shoes(bending down was virtually impossible)
    3. Was knocking on the door of a size 18(at 4'11" that's not good)now I'm between an 8 and a 12(depending on brand and T.O.M.)

    Those are just the first 3 I thought of but there are so many more positive things that have happened as a result of me starting MFP.

    I was advised to lift heavy. OmG! Heavy lifting has done more for my sport (kick boxing) in a couple months than YEARS of light lifting! I'm just amazed!

    I am down to my fighting weight/weight class with out all the hassle. MFP makes it idiot proof to lose weight the right way. . . .

    Yes! The lifting advice is something I have just started to take seriously. I can't wait to see results! And I love how you described MFP's method as "idiot proof"! So funny, and accurate. ;)
