    I can walk my dog without running out of breath and bend over to cut my toenail without getting the breath taken out of me.

    My blood pressure is in the normal range. My cholesterol has dropped. I no longer have that saggy puffy thing on the inside of my knees. My flexibility has improved.

    Energy! No more sluggishness! No more knee pain! No more back pain! Walk taller! No more sugar crashes!

    There’s a lovely thread in “Success Stories”. It has about 25 thousand comments regarding non scale victories. I looooove going there when I need a little motivation. :smiley:

    I fit comfortably into seats at the train, cinema etc
    When the train is packed I can sit in the luggage rack without anything breaking
    I can walk the mile and a half uphill to campus without straining my dodgy achilles
    My dodgy achilles has become a lot less dodgy
    Clothes are easier to find and cheaper (except for bras, sigh)
    I can sit in more comfortable positions, such as legs crossed
    People respond to me more positively

    I can run with the kids I work with instead of just standing around and watching them play, I can lift 40+ pound kids without feeling like I'm going to injure something, and it's getting easier to lift kids out of cribs the more I lose from my chest.

    That is awesome.

    Weight loss alone has had minimal impact to my day-to-day life except I'm more comfortable with my appearance in general. It's actually harder to find clothes in my size now because I've dropped off the bottom of the 'normal' size range.

    However, I didn't lose weight to improve my day-to-day life. I did it to improve my life long-term and prevent future health problems. Also, if we talk about how exercise has improved my day-to-day life, I'd have more to say!

    I mean, females are attracted to me now. I prefer what I see in the mirror now. And I get the therapy of the gym everyday. Other than that, not much difference.
