    That it's harder to find clothes that fit when I'm a healthy weight than when I'm overweight.

    My shoulders are broad, and my wingspan is huge for a woman, so when my boobs and belly go down to a sensible size I find it impossible to buy feminine long sleeve tops, or most tops in woven fabric.

    When I'm fatter, I still struggle, but with persistence, I can often find something, because the sleeve length and shoulder breadth goes up with larger dress sizes.

    I've lost 70 lbs. Yes, some friends get envious of attention you get. They get over it or you move on.
    Age makes a big difference! I'm 68 and I fit in some things I couldn't before at this weight. Strange, but true.
    Family and friends support is important. My daughter led me to Fitness Pal and is my main cheerleader!
    Glad others mentioned new mattress --- my hip bones hurt since I'm a side sleeper. Any type of mattress anyone recommends?
    I'm always cold, but I was when I was heavy too. Thin and cold is better.
    It's fun wearing clothes I only hoped to wear again. Even more fun buying new ones in a small rather than 2x!
    Also helps to have a husband that says, "buy it!"
    I have both kinds of arthritis and the weight loss has tremendous benefits. My rheumatologist is thrilled!

    I recommend a 3" or 4" thick memory foam topper that has 4 lb density. It really helped me.
