1. Walking up a flight of stairs without breathing heavily. 2. The fact that my pneumatic office chair doesn't sink slowly under my weight. 3. When I sit down, not having that roll of tummy fall over my pants, making it just super uncomfortable to sit down while wearing pants. 4. Feeling like there is a little room on both…

I weigh and record every day once a day in the morning. My weight fluctuates day to day, but I love watching the overall trend head downward.

1. Being fanatic about recording what I eat so that I can accurately trace my calories. 2. Not worrying about both exercise and diet at the same time.
