I've lost 7.5 pounds and already I have more energy. And I'd like to say, "what sciatica?" I can button my jackets for work, my shoes are getting too big, I sleep better...the entire night! I never thought 7.5 pounds would do that. I am amazed. Looking forward to reporting more observations down my long path of multiple tens of pounds!

    I lost a shoe size too when I lost my 16 pounds. My rings are too big. My Achilles tendons don't hurt as much anymore. My head isn't so heavy to hold up anymore! LOL!

    "Lift up" the weight you loss...you will be amazed! Ironically, I work @ a Fitness/Wellness center and one (of the many) Trainers had wonderful success w/ a client-she lost 50lbs. He MADE her lift a 50 lb weight...and made her carry it around for awhile. Its amazing when you hold the weight...YOU ACCOMPLISHED THAT! GREAT JOB !!!! :):):)

    Everyone thought I was going crazy telling them my shoes were getting too big....I'm glad I am not the only one!

    I'm super excited for you!! Congrats on your success! Isn't it great to notice that, while it's nice to weigh less, there are so many other awesome benefits to being healthy :)

    My shoes got too big too!! :)
    When I told my friends they're like "your shoes can't be too big, your bones don't shrink".

    I only lost half a shoe size, but I only lost 5 lbs. too lol. I also noticed I'm less prone to ankle pain when I walk or stand a lot. It's great to be pain-free! My hair got healthier as well.
