Having gone from 245 to 145 in less than a year I am so happy and thankful! However the scale doesn't reflect everything right my friends....So I love this topic because it gets us thinking about the awesome perks of losing weight beyond the scale! Here's my update :

1. My wedding ring is falling off - need a re- size

2. My pants never seem "tight enough" how many of us felt like our pants were previously cutting off our circulation ? Lol

3. I get complimented on my clothing by strangers .... Never happened before as I was always wearing frumpy clothes to cover up

4. Strangers in stores ask me " are you always this happy" .... Even though they don't know why- you guys get it .... " yes!!! Yes I am"

5. Finally - only regret .... Why the heck didn't I do this sooner !

Lovin life again

You look wonderful! Congrats!

Beautiful

Man, yeah, lookin good...!!

So lemme jump on this little bandwagon:

1)No longer taking meds or treatment for diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol,

endless pain meds, and sleep apnea.... utterly life changing!

2) I can buy clothes off the damn rack now, yay!

3) It no longer sounds like someone is getting strangled in the next room when I tie my shoes....

4) It's easy to get up early now

5) I can cross my legs comfortably when sitting

6) I can tuck in even a t-shirt without embarrassment

7) Might swim this summer in front of other people for the first time in decades

8) Might even dance at some point

HELL, KEEP THIS UP I MIGHT EVEN ATTRACT A GIRLFRIEND.....!!!!

I may cry from this post! You rock !!!! Please keep posting !

Don't know why it copied it four times, but maybe cuz I feel four THOUSAND times better than I've felt in decades.

Oh man... The crossing of the legs thing !!! It's amazing - people don't get that when your overweight , you have such trouble in that area !

Yeh Pedro! You rock

One more thing ... Forgetting the size sticker on my new clothing isn't an embarrassment anymore it's all good ! 6 rather than 20 is a badge of honor rather than a shame sign [emoji106]????
