Do you FEEL better?

I have way more energy throughout the day now. By the same token, I fall asleep quite easily. Win-win!

This has been the biggest positive of losing all my weight. I forgot being obese how feeling `normal' felt. Now I know.

Absolutely. I know longer have little aches and pains. I no longer get out of breath from a single flight of stairs. I actually FEEL like I am in my twenties now. Best of all, I am more loving to my husband (wink wink).

I just feel fitter and healthier in myself generally. Specifically my varicose veins are improving and are no longer painful, my asthma is much better controlled and I have more confidence in myself.

Yep...i feel lots better. I'm sure it's a combo of weight loss and exercise. I feel great after a run. My knees don't hurt near as bad as they use to.

Absolutely. Echoing what others have said above, I have a lot more energy and really feel like I can do more (walk without feet hurting over long periods, bending over to pick things up and not having as much meat to fold!), also feeling stronger in my body, more taut and muscular, and sleeping a lot better. I'm also kind of proud of myself, which of course builds confidence - which seems to be outside as well as in.

I feel SO much better the more weight I lose. I have a lot more energy - at my highest weight I would come home from work and not even have enough energy to make dinner or do laundry (and I have a "sit at a desk all day" job). I sleep a lot better - especially on days when I exercise. And the best part is I actually crave healthy food and exercise now...and let me tell you that has never happened before in my life!

Hi I'm fitter, thinner and all round better for this I needed to lose the weight I'm halfway to my goal. It won't happen over night but this site really gives you results if you are honest with yourself and work hard at it x Good luck feel free to add me x

I've met my goal and I feel 100% better. I lost through exercise and exercising regularly always makes me feel better.

hell yeah I feel better. I've lost 90 lbs total, and have about 40 more that I want to lose.

A year ago, a bike ride for about 30 minutes would have done me in. This year, I'm training to do a 2 day, 168 mile bike ride from Houston to Austin, and I think I'm gonna kick *kitten* at it. I've done a couple weekends where I've ridden as much as 125 miles, and I'm planning to do at least 135 miles this weekend, maybe more. I feel like I have lots of endurance and energy, I just need to lose a little more of the extra fat so I get to a normal body fat percentage. Also, when I get home from work, I used to scarf down junk for dinner and vegitate in front of the tv. Now, I take my dogs for walks, cook something for dinner (although I do have the occasional lean cuisine when I don't want to cook), and I'll sit for 15 minutes watching tv before feeling like I need to get up and do something, so I'll do a load of laundry, clean/straighten the house, something. I just feel a general need to move more than I used to.

I'm out of plus size clothes.

Don't you love that? I'm not quite into single digit sizes yet, but man, did I hate 20+size clothing.

eh, I have my days, but in general I feel a heck of a lot better 70pounds later. the hardest part is mental (for me anyway)

I feel SOOOO much better already, and I'm only 30 pounds in...I have already lost about 12% of my body weight though so I notice I don't get winded like I used to, I wake up without feeling "hung over" or groggy until my coffee sets in, and I actually enjoy the mental battle of "what will I wear today?" I don't fall asleep the moment I walk in the door after work. I am always looking for things to do because I can't sit on the couch all day anymore. I even look forward to going to the gym 6 times a week! I have a ton of energy, which my hubby seems to appreciate as well.

Most def! I feel lighter on my feet--I like to be silly with my 5-year-old and it's a lot more fun to jump and dance around the living room with him when I feel like my body jumps as one rather than feeling the fatty extra weight blubbering around while I did sso I sleep much better, I'm more ready for sleep at night, and I "need" less coffee most days

I'm 25lbs down so far and I feel so much more energetic! Already I get less out of breath when I push myself and I have more fun because I'm not getting tired so easily. My son is also having more fun because I have more energy, and my hubby, well, he's enjoying the new, more energetic me too. It's a win-win-win situation - LOL!

I also find that I look forward to getting in some exercise. Tonight I was working at a branch much closer to home, so I knew I wouldn't get my usual onger walk to work, so I had to plan a walk in the morning instead which felt great. I'm also really looking forward to my gym induction on Friday afternoon and got really excited about buying my first pair of running shoes. I start my C25K training next week when my son goes back to nursery school.

So yes, I definitely already feel better than I did by a LONG shot.

YES

my feet are so much less sore (i have platofaaciitis) and they were sooooo painful before, even tho the podiatrist told me my weight didn't contribute to the problem.

i don't get heartburn every time i eat a spicy meal or red wine.

i have alot more energy in general and am not having to drag myself out of bed and force myself to do things that i should just do anymore.

and of course it feels better to not have to visit the "large woman" sections in the shops when looking for clothes.
