I am about 60% to my goal and I have realized that I can do things that I wasn't able to do before losing the weight! Last night I watched a movie with my legs crossed (comfortably) the entire time! The day before that, I played catch with my son in the backyard (throwing a baseball...HARD!). I surprised myself by holding the plank position for 60 seconds without falling! BUT...the best is that I am able to wear a sundress that fit me before I was married (14 yrs ago!) SO...what about YOU?? What new tricks can you do???

    I have only lost 9 pounds but I can reach the ground a lot easier. I have just enough more energy that I notice, I stand up straighter when I walk and I smile a lot more these last few days. I love this feeling!!

    I can bend over and paint my toenails without having to stop (ya know.. because my belly would start to cramp from being bent over) :laugh:

    I can put my feet behind my head, I can almost get back into a split, I can do a back bend once again, and I can do handstands again. I broke my arm in 2007 pretty bad, the big bone on my forearm broke into 2 pieces when a truck landed on top of it, bad car accident, should have killed me but yup just took some movement from my right arm. Today I have more movement in it then I was suppose to regain. I was told I'd be lucky to have 80% back, I have 2 plates and some pens in my arm, I would have never tried to do a hand stand or a cartwheel when I was bigger in fear I'd damage my arm more, but I have recently done it, and I can do both a cartwheel and a handstand. OH And I can stand on my head.

    I can also do 60 real manly push ups when I use to never could do 1 of them :D

    I was able to paint my toe nails. Before I would get as much paint on my toes as on the nails because I couldn't get close enough because my belly was in the way.

    I probably shouldn't get too specific, or the thread might get locked. Let's just say I'm much more strong and nimble in the bedroom. :laugh:

    Eight months ago, no one could see my belt buckle. Now, I can look down and see it (and other important stuff). :blushing: Also, I can cross my legs at the knees, stand up from a chair without grabbing or pushing on something, and touch my toes (which I also couldn't see before).

    I can do regular push ups. Taking the 100 push up challenge.
    Chase around my children without sucking wind.
    Have dance parties with my 3 1/2 year old. I've taught her some serious (ok, seriously funny) moves.
    Much more confident and enthusiastic when being intimate with my husband.
