Cracked heels?? That is awesome! I have that problem now and never knew it could be associated with too much weight!!! I'll be glad to see that go! And the thigh rub for me was my breaking point when I walked a lot at a baseball game Sunday rubbed my thighs raw
Oh I remember the thigh rub and chafing. Being free of that curse is probably my #1 unexpected result, and just for that, I am very motivated to maintain (and lose that last 10 lbs, lol). Wearing shorts and dresses and skirts and walking all day in the heat with not even a hint of irritation. Bliss. I do not want to go back.15 -
No more skin yeast infections in creases.

Flirting... lol, I didn't even recognize it the first few times it happened. The hubs did, though.

My latest weird discovery is that I can feel my finger bones through the pads of my fingers, thumb bones in particular.
A family member got a giggle out of that when I commented on it. She's always been able to feel hers. Who knew!6 -

i think my body clapped because it was a miracle i had even made it up the stairs, out of breath and huge!26 -
The inevitable struggle of not knowing if you are fat or slim.15

Thigh gap in photos
Crossing my legs is easy and feels good.
Bony knees and hip bones pop out while laying down
Sitting in a movie theater is comfortable
Don't hAve to suck myself "skinny" at work when people are trying to get by me. There is plenty of room behind me for them to get by.
Shopping at boutiques again!
Sleep so well at night
Fill up easy on food and feel full.
Can easily was my back in the shower and reach everything!

Being able to see my jawline in the car side mirror while in the passenger seat driving with my husband in our BMW convertible. This was big motivation for me as after starting with mostly a double chin, each week my jaw was a little more defined.11

I have trouble knowing how small I am, and still feel like I need to "shrink" myself to get by someone. Then I realize there is plenty of room and I look kind of silly...12 -
That losing weight is like a train. It starts slow and it's difficult at first, but once the momentum is going it just does not stop. Habits and exercise and energy build in momentum and everything keeps moving forward like a freight train, and the only thing that can stop it is you.52

At work we have protective sweaters, (Im a dental assistant) and a few months ago I wasnt able to button my 3x all the way down. Needless to say, this morning I put one on and began buttoning it and before I knew it I had buttoned the entire sweater with room to spare.
still on my journey, but enjoying these victories. From 380lbs in March to 337lbs in June. 66 -
I think I agree with much of what has already been said. It's been super motivating to read everyone's entries. I've done really well myself - not quite there yet, but close. I think one of the things that makes me really happy and is a result of this process, is all of the conversations we have in the house, especially with my kids. While we don't discuss weight, we do talk about living a healthy lifestyle with good quality foods and activity. It's nice to be leading in a positive direction.13
