    On more serious note...

    1. Make order in my food routine, macros and calories.
    2. Cut calores from drinks completly.
    3. Start regular exercise - running and weight lifting.

    I already posted but I love this thread so here's another go...

    1) I look at some of my favorite fashion bloggers' high/low (price) posts and in the low category, I'm often like, "ooh I have that top/those jeans/that jacket!" - for years I just read their blogs and tried to translate whatever would work in plus sizes.

    2) I inspired a friend of mine to lose 3 pant sizes (so far)

    3) I've been mistaken for younger than my real age a lot more. Like, enough by now that I'm truly flattered and don't think it's just a fluke or someone trying to fluff my ego. Yay!

    I learned that not everything revolves around the scale- there are also measurements :)
    I cook at home a lot more
    I am finally starting to enjoy working out - which is great because when I first met with my nutritionist I told him I was never going to exercise (seriously) I look back and can't understand how I could say that!
    Also learned logging is so beneficial now I now how many calories I really eat. When I first started doing this journey I was eating between 2200 and 3000 calories!! How scary!

    1.I am down from size 22 to size 18.
    2. I am so much more flexible now. Which makes daily life like painting my toes or shaving my legs so much easier.
    3. I don't lose my breath as much. Maybe one day my asthma will be gone.

    Edited to fix typos/grammatical errors.

    1. Follow up sleep study showed I no longer have sleep apnea.

    2. Life insurance denial was changed to approved status because of all the positive lifestyle changes and the numbers were all normal.

    3. Feel great about myself because of how I look, how I feel physically and how I feel mentally about doing this for myself.

    I read the boards a lot and it's a pretty common theme to want to do this for others...your family, kids, etc, but there's no shame in being selfish and wanting to do this for yourself, either. I did this for myself and for the fat guy that never thought he was ever worth it. I am so glad I did.

    I went from a size 22 to a size 12!

    My confidence has skyrocketed, which means I'm actually doing the things on my bucket list instead of just talking about them.

    I discovered that I can run and I actually enjoy it.

    1) For once, I had a good doctor's appointment where the doctor was excited about my weight loss and told me to keep doing whatever I've been doing.

    2) I put up a new profile picture on Facebook and 2 strangers sent me messages complimenting it. Not super relevant, but it was the first time in quite a few years a stranger had complimented my looks!

    3) Hmmm...Nothing super drastic yet, but I can wear some clothes I didn't find comfortable before. I mostly still wear the same clothes though, and coworkers tell me they look a lot looser now.

    I'm still hoping for various aches and pains (for instance, nightly back pain) to go away. That alone gives me motivation to keep going.

    I can't get by with just pulling my pants up once in a while now. I need a belt.
    My scrub pants now drag on the ground because my bubble butt that was holding them up so high is now shrinking (in a good way)
    I found a zumba instructor I love!
