Shocking!!!
What were some things you were shocked to find out since you have started? For me:
1. How ignorant my thinking was that I can eat anything as long as I work out, which I didnt even do that :blushing:
2. Pickles have no calories
3. My body fat %:noway:
4. How supportive my fiancée is
5. I realized just how addicted I am to ice cream

That most of the foods I liked before, I can still have
That there are way more foods out there than I thought
That I actually have a collar bone
That I also have a rib cage0 -
That's not true. They don't have many, and they often show up as zero calories due to the small serving size.2. Pickles have no calories0 -
I know that, but it still shows up as zero for the serving size I have so it counts :happy:

1) I was shocked by how off my idea of calories was, I really had noooo idea. (but now I totally understand why I was how I was)
2) Shocked by how much I actually enjoyed exercise once I finally found things that suited me,
3) Shocked and amazed when I finally experienced the endorphin high! (which I thought was Total BS before LOL)
4) I was shocked but how much harder my journey has been, I honestly though It would be much much faster and easier (I'm a gainer)0 -
That my boobs get smaller. (small to start with!)
I didnt know how big I was until everyone started saying " Oh my gosh you lost ssssoooo much weight"0 -
At what the actual serving size for a lot of foods is..way less than I was having before...0

That I could actually run/jog
That I get runners high every time I go out for a run.
That I like working out
If I don't work out I feel guilty
I like fueling my body, not stuffing it with crap
I don't need to sleep or eat as much0 -
I found out eliminating certain foods make me feel crappy and bloated when I reintroduce them in my diet. They will DEF be avoided.0

Mine was:
I couldf do this. After so many years of excuses, when I ate right I did lose weight.
I could lift weights
Ceasar salad is not good for me?:sad:
Portion sizes. Beyond that, I was satisfied WITH that portion size.
Even skinny, my spouse did not show me attention.
Again all those years of thinking all my problems would be solved with weightloss. Haha. I did feel 100% better physically and mentally, though.0 -
I was shocked when I found out how much sodium I was taking in each day. Also by increasing my caloric intake has helped me to shed a few pounds and not feel hungry at nights.0

1.) That a serving size is a lot smaller than what I thought it was.
2.) Once I get the motivation to workout, I LOVE it.
3.) I love the feeling of sore muscles!
4.) When I eat good foods, I actually have energy!0 -
1: Seeing my picture and the weight I've gained.
2: How much I've allowed my serving size to grow!
3: I found such a great site and it's free!0 -
Mine are:
1) The calories in 'healthy' foods - like nuts etc - check your portions people!!
2) Not due to dieting etc, but I discovered along my journey I have celiac disease so I had to go gluten free
3) Being gluten free is a really healthy diet when you don't eat the gluten free 'alternatives' (i.e. bread). Just swap what you eat and enjoy real food
4) Cottage cheese is yum!
5) I like exercise (mostly).
6) I can run!0 -

Mine disappeared! I went from an E cup to an A!0 -
I was shocked to find out
Even though I loathed it my entire life, how addicting and rewarding exercise can actually be
How even making the smallest changes sometimes have the biggest impact
How proud of myself I am for actually setting a weight loss goal and actually coming close to achieving it!0 -
1) I have no idea what will satisfy me. I always think way too large when simple things will suffice.
2) I'm so used to overeating to the point of physical pain that I do it without thinking. I was absolutely shocked to find myself in the middle of a meal, stuffing myself sick while making excuses as to why I had to finish it.
3) I'm capable of a lot when I actually try.0 -

me too....now that I have a scale I'm shocked at what I "thought" was one serving..:bigsmile:0 -
1 - I should have appreciated my old body before getting pregnant and piling on the pounds.
2 - I can actually eat, and eat a lot, of stuff I actually like, whilst still losing weight.
