    How I feel :) I used to be sore all the time because I didn't stretch and I wanted to nap a lot. Now, I'm full of energy and love stretching out. On the down side, people have started asking me out a lot (but that's probably a plus for the majority of people lol)

    The confidence it gives you. I'm not done yet but even now the old me would never have dared to flirt with guys. The sense of accomplishment you get when you complete a cross fit class or a running session despite the fact that you really didn't want to go in the first place.

    Definitely the same as all above. Also for me it's the accomplishment and simple feeling that I did it!! Add me if you want!!

    1. Being able to move and be mostly pain-free.
    2. Reaching maintenance after 2 1/2 years of steady loss!

    I found it interesting : the more I do, the more I CAN do! So much more energy

    Stupid things. Like, where I park my car, I can now slide out of the driver's door with ease.

    All of the above plus just genuinely being happy and learning gratitude for myself

    Taking the stairs..by choice, when everyone else is using the escalator. Running for the bus, and catching it!

    The extra energy, and being able to wear smaller clothes. From a vanity standpoint - seeing that shocked look on the faces of people that I haven't seen since I lost the weight.

    Confidence!

    Even though I haven't lost all my excess weight, I feel so much better about myself because I look better in certain clothes and just feel like weight isn't blocking me.
