Did you lose anything besides weight?

I lost the ability to sit still.
I lost the ability to say “I can’t do that”, and instead imagine finding ways in which I can. As one of my yoga instructors said once,”visualizing yourself doing it often gives the same reward as accomplishing it. “. I didn’t understand that until I realized that one leads directly to the other.14 -

Image checks out.
I lost my ability to be mindless about what I'm eating. Even when I eat over maintenance, I am doing it consciously.18 -
I lost feeling sorry for myself, I feel great now and my self esteem is so much better.18

I lost: my boobs! Like WTH still had plenty of hips to lose but oh no the boobs left instead. Lol
And I lost the notion that "I'm just big boned".20 -
Some chins.
2 shoe sizes. :[
The ability to feel warm.
My camera shyness.
My fear of the gym.
All of my dresses.
It's been a mixed bag.19 -
I personally don't relate to a "health journey" or the like in the sense of being over weight or inactive by life style. My life started with the love of training and performing physically over 40 years ago. I've always had interest in being the best I could be.
Though there was a time I've experienced not being able to walk for months and pain 24/7 for the past decade or so and I know what it feels like to hit a wall from health issues that couldn't of been prevented at least from a "health journey" if that makes sense.
One thing I have gained was the interest of helping others and hopefully having a hand in changing the quality of life for some people.
Teaching self efficacy to person and watch them change their own life without depending on others is pretty neat thing for me.

I have lost the ability to shop at torrid. I have lost 95% of my ‘regular’ clothes. I have lost the excuses I had to avoid certain social interactions. I have lost some of my self doubt. I have lost my ‘sweet tooth.’ The list goes on..16

After losing and keeping off over 80 pounds it's such a long list, but here's a few:
- I lost 2 shoe sizes and went from wide width to regular.
- My ring size dropped 3 sizes.
- I'm no longer lazy physically. Now I can't sit down and I love to work out.
- I lost so many clothes, outerwear and footwear.
- I lost eating things just because it was there, free or offered to me.
- My double chins, love handles and backfat are all gone and my thighs no longer rub together!
- I no longer have to hide in the back in pics or use my purse or a pillow to cover up my belly in pics.

Were you able to get your rings resized that much or did you have to get new ones?
Everything else I'm happy to lose, but would prefer to keep/resize my rings.4 -

Our wedding rings are engraved so I really didn't want to have mine resized. After it slid off one day without my noticing (fortunately at home and spotted by a friend who was visiting), I now have a smaller ring that I wear outside my wedding ring to keep it on.

I was able to get my ring resized twice. Unfortunately the inscription on the inside is cut off, but I didn't want to part with it.
