    Yes and no! Yes I feel happier but I feel so guilty if I cheat. :-( But I am hoping to get past looking at it as cheating and more of a part of life and accepting that its ok to have a "bad" snack every once in a while.

    I'm pretty much always happy. The only time I haven't been a generally happy person was when I was living with my douche ex-boyfriend... trying to be civilized when you hate eachother is something that totally killz my life buzz. Exercising regularly does make a difference for me tho and I get downright giddy, almost annoyingly so.

    Yup. I'm like a year and a month in and I'm happier for sure. I'll be SUPER happy in another 35 lbs. ;) Hopefully I can get there in the next 6-8 months.

    Definitely! I made my weigh-in day Wednesday, so I look forward to it on Monday and Tuesday, and I'm happy from it the rest of the week! I'm smiling way more in general, and my confidence just keeps going up!

    Not happy. But maybe better than other winters. Although the good weather and light therapy could also account for that.

    I . . . . HATE . . . WINTER.

    Yes actually...and not just because I'm losing weight! My healthy lifestyle that I've had for the past couple months has had a huge impact on my life. I've dropped 20 pounds, my insomnia is gone, my bipolar disorder symptoms are even improving. I just feel amazing. I never thought that my life would be this enjoyable and productive. Just keep going everyone!

    I am a much happier person! I still have a lot of weight to lose, but the difference in how I feel now verses before I started making changes, is incredible.
    When I was at my highest weight of 310 pounds, I was miserable but also in denial about my weight. I knew I needed to lose weight, but I wasn't in the right mindset to do so. I remember, I used to cry as I was eating, just knowing I was adding more weight to my body, but I seemed incapable of stopping.
    When I finally took control of my eating habits and starting working out, I felt better almost immediately. Oh, I still have days when I get down about myself and wish I hadn't ever let myself go so badly, but each day I am learning to love myself more, have confidence and feel proud that I have taken the right steps to not only lose weight but ensure I live a healthier lifestyle which should serve me well in the future.
    I feel a bit happier with each new day :)

    Yep happier. I think certain foods really effect my mood as well. Eating healthy agrees with me.

    no... but I'm a uni student. So I don't think I'm meant to. lol.

    I do actually feel better about myself, knowing that I am not gaining weight. I don't hate how I look as much, even though I don't have any physical changes yet.

    Yes, I definitely do! I've never thought I would be able to successfully shed pounds. Now I feel determined to finish everything I started!! :)

    Amen to that!! GREAT feeling.
