    Best: Fitting into my smaller clothes and not having to worry about buying the next size up (again and again). Oh, and other people's kind comments on my weight loss!

    Worst: Not being able to mindlessly eat like I used to...i.e. planning meticulously how I will choose a meal at a fast food place.

    The best thing is the health benefits and feeling good about how you look. The worst is fearing you'll gain it back...and the loose skin. The loose skin sucks.

    Best: Buy Smaller Clothes

    Worst: Being just a bit more broke because you have to buy smaller clothes.

    I'm a happier person, I'm able to do more things and I never have to think "can I do that?"

    Best thing: Having confidence, and when I try clothes on not having to pick which one fits the least tightest, but what just looks the cutest! :)

    Worst thing: Losing my boobs, lost a cup size :(

    Best: My skin has cleared up SO much since I started eating better and exercising. Oh and of course smaller clothes! :happy:
    Worst: When people (mainly relatives) tell you to be careful because you might become anorexic. :noway: - FYI, I probably eat more than you do!

    1. Best: Buying new clothes

    2 Worst: Buying new clothes.

    My hubby told me last night (as I was complaining that my pants were too big again), that I have become VERY expensive! :drinker:

    I agree with this...I had the same problem but then I started just going to thrift shops while I was losing weight and it seemed to help on the budget....I figure I will buy a whole new wardrobe once I actually lose enough to get close to my goal weight!!

    Best: Being able to breathe and feel healthier and better.

    Worst: Trying to fit everything into my life all in one day to include exercising!!!


    ^^^^ I totally agree with both post. I have frequent the thrift stores in the last year because I can't see myself paying full price for more clothes when I will have to give them away in about 2 months or so.

    Best - going out and being able to fit in the seats

    Worst - all the stress from keeping under/at goals and finding accurate nutritional info

    Best: Having more energy to enjoy nature (for the first time in a few years I'm excited for camping season to begin and I've been hiking like crazy!)

    Worst: Having to pee all the time from drinking all this water!

    well during weight loss I think it sucks wen you go out with friends and you cant have more than 1 slice of pizza or you cant have popcorn at the movies. Best thing? looking good in summer with those bikini's and short shorts, and tank tops!:wink:

    But I think its worth it all in the end :)

    Best - being fit and having a lot more energy

    worst - foods that I love now make me sick (severe stomach aches) - alfredo sauce, lobster bisque, etc.

    Best is that I'm getting my confidence back, am healthier, look/feel better, and am overall happier due to the changes I'm making.

    Worst was letting myself get this way to begin with instead of staying healthy/fit.

    Best: buying new clothes a month into my weight loss, and now those are too loose. Dancing around the house the other day...i dropped it like it's hot and actually came back up!

    Worst: Making two different meals at dinnertime and breakfast because I have a skinny boyfriend and a picky eater child and neither one of them want my veggie burgers or my steamed veggies and brown rice. NOT even my chicken apple sausage, which they would like if they just tried . :grumble:

    Best? I'm stronger!

    Worst? NONE of my clothes from last summer fit. I can't wear any shorts without wearing a belt and looking like 'Erkel'. :(

    I find that the BEST part of dieting is I am starting to look and feel 100 times better and I have more energy and stamina

    the worst thing is missing much of the things I used to eat and one poster is right, Its gotta be done

    Best: All the energy I have now is amazing! Positive mind, feeling good about how I look, more confident, smaller (yes that's right I'm happy about that) boobs and a new clothes.

    Worst: The people who tell me I need to slow down and not loose any more weight... I'm strong healthy and happy, mind your own business please!!!!!

    Mmmm, best thing is always my increased endurance. I just perform better with running, hiking, and everything else, with more energy, when I lose excess fluff.

    Worst is the fact that with less padding, my sitz bones are not very comfortable for long horseback rides or sitting on hard surfaces. I forget they're back there, until I lose a bit of fluff. And then I got for a few hours in a saddle, and say "Oh, right, hello bones."

    Best: Buying new clothes and being happier

    Worst: Not feeling like I've made enough progress and thinking I could be so much farther along.

    Best - First and foremost all the health benefits mentally and physically that come along with a healthy lifestyle, feeling good about yourself, self-esteem and confidence, a sense of accomplishment, shopping for and being able to wear cool fun clothes, still having a guy check you out at 53 years old ;)

    Worst - it's really hard to find a down side, it's such a win win situation. But if I have to list something - definitely not being able to eat a jumbo hot fudge sundae anytime you please! Or not being able to have pizza and french fries everyday for lunch!

    My hubby told me last night (as I was complaining that my pants were too big again), that I have become VERY expensive! :drinker:

    i was going to say this EXACT same thing. i love being able to buy new clothes in smaller sizes, but i hate that i am shrinking out of all my clothes that i spent good money on. haha.

    Best: is having to buy a new belt, and fitting into shirts that I haven't worn in a while.

    Worst: Walking by a fast food place, or nice restaurant, and drooling knowing that you shouldn't go in there all of the time.

    added bonus: I also see girls that get upset that they loose their girls, but it is the opposite for guys when we loose weight our special spot gets a little bigger. This is speaking for the bigger guys like me who started at 300lbs
