What positive changes took place first when you started losing weight? These can be both health and beauty related :)

For me?

The best one: I no longer get headaches in the morning from sleep apnea/snoring (noticed this in the first week!)

I am not out of breath walking around campus to my classes anymore.

I can see my jawline!!! (self conscious about double chin)

All my clothes are loose.

I have more energy!

I no longer feel bloated :)

These are just a few, but there are plenty more! What about you?

    I think the first things were:

    Not getting out of breath walking up stairs

    I started being more social and getting outside more. I didn't realize when it was happening but looking back now, it totally started at the beginning of my exercise.

    My clothes started making their way to the storage closet because they were too big. (Now, I am down to 1/3 the clothes I used to have.)

    I can pull my feet up to paint my toes nails without my stomach getting in the way. I can reach back and not feel the back/bra fat I used to have... my wrists are super small. I haven't had a serious breakout in a long time. I'm also fitting into clothes I bought/used to wear that are 3 sizes smaller. I've gone from a size 16/18 to a 10.

    Before the scale reflected any weight loss my clothes started getting loose and I was able to go down a pants size. I also think about the calories I eat, is what Im about to eat worth it, this is especially true after a good workout.

    This may seem silly to some but I no longer have heartburn. A big thumbs-up.

    the only thing I've noticed so far is that i had to get new pants
    i was out downtown with friends and my pants literally fell off so i was like its time

    other than that i don't see a difference, but others say they notice so i guess that's good

    I've noticed that I'm not as hungry as I used to be. I can eat within my calorie goal and feel full. Also, I have more energy to play with my son.

    I don't crave processed, high-fat foods anymore. And I can run for 5 solid minutes without feeling like I'm going to pass out!

    1. I have to do dishes twice a week now that I'm cooking more.
    2. I can cross my legs under my desk now.
    3. I got my strut back.
    4. I'm wearing pants/jeans now (instead of leggings under summer dresses during winter months).

    What a great question!
    For me once I started losing weight it was...

    More energy
    Less knee pain
    Could easily sit on the floor with my students
    Complements and encouragement from friends and coworkers

    I can walk upstairs like a "normal' person. Our stairs are very steep, and some nights I was literally going up them on all 4's.

    Now my pants are way too big for me.
    I have a lot more energy during the day. The drawback: I no longer can watch TV or play PS3 games at nights because I'm too sleepy (I wake up at 5 AM to go to the gym).
    I'm far more confident.
