Since losing some weight what are some little things you have noticed you can do now that you couldn't do before.

Mine are:
Stand balancing on one leg.
get up off the floor without some serious help
actually cross my legs like a girl!
I can bend over to tie my shoe without feeling like I am gonna pass out
Can stand at the copier at work (in a very narrow high traffic hallway) and still have someone get by me without me having to move!

What's yours?

    I can now find my belly button with one finger (instead of needing the other hand to hold up the roll.) I can see where my rib cage ends.

    I jumped a puddle and landed 3 feet past my aimed landing point.

    I can now walk the entire stairwell at work a few times up and down without getting tired, I used to get tired just going up the steps of the employee entrance. Im also alot stronger now that Ive been working out. Im not tired as much, I no longer have post nasal drip, and im rarely ever really all that hungry.

    My carpal tunnel is 1000x improved! I have hardly had any numbness over the past 3 weeks. Before that I was in nearly constant pain and always had tingling in my fingers.

    actually cross my legs like a girl!

    That is one of my favorite things!

    Also, a friend of mine has these horrible dining room chairs with big wooden arms and I never could quite cram my butt into them before so I always had to sit on the very, very edge of the chair when we were over there (embarrassing!!!) - now I can get in and out without a problem!

    I can speed walk to class and not get winded. :bigsmile: I can hop up the stairs and not feel like I need to slow down or stop and CATCH MY BREATH. I can wear low cut pants without feeling like my *kitten* and love handles are spilling out for the world to see.

    Lol...I was just looking at old pictures of myself from a wedding I was at last summer right before I started losing weight and in every pic I am holding my stomach. I didn't even know I was doing it!

    I don't have to change out of my work pants when I get home and put on something more comfortable..

    I can walk around in a bathing suit without getting that chaffing on my inner thighs, which also means i no longer have to wear scary stomach holding in pantyhose when I'm in a summer dress :)

    I can't wait for that (only 2 lbs lost so far) My husband say that he thinks that I'm sexy just the way I am, but I don't feel that way :sad:
