It's been almost 7 years since I made the decision to get healthy. Best gift I ever gave myself.

The big one for me is the increase in self esteem :)

I was 110 for yrs, then ate everything and before I knew it I was 175. Now at 150 so getting there.
I hate the heavy feeling. I feel like a ton of bricks walking around.
I live in Fl. so it is very hot and each extra lb takes a toll out of you.
I am hoping to have better lab results, so I don't need additional medication. I am borderline now.
The list goes on and on.........

For me the biggest differences I've seen so far is a lower heart, which helps my anxiety and makes it easier to be more active. Also, I'm in a lot less pain, just in general.

We'll be able to find clothes that fit us better, rather than wearing expansive, bag-like fat people clothes.

For me it was a drop in my too high LDL and feeling good and confidant about myself.

Big increase in self esteem. My self esteem isn't dependent on the number on the scale, but it will help. I will be healthier and have more energy. I finally won't feel like a whale

I love feeling great. I want to feel the energy that seems to bubble through my body when I have less weight to tote around. I want to see my face transform more. When I saw Danni and the Biggest Loser contestants wrap up this last season, I cried, I could feel their happiness and see it in their faces - they were all absolutely beaming and radiant. I WANT THAT! Just watching Danni go from "kind of cute" to "gorgeous Amazon woman" was and is one heck of a motivation.

She's such a motivation! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42-dg4VLoqY

I had my medication for type 2 diabetes reduced on Tuesday because I've lost 24 pounds. Next motivator is to reduce it again next time I go to docs in 3 months! :)

I wanted to lose weight to be more healthy. When I had lost about 20 pounds (half way to with my goal), I started to notice a huge difference in my perception of my body image. I started to feel great, sexy and proud of myself. Now that I'm down 40 pounds (5' 6'' and 140 pounds), I just can't get over how amazing this experience has been. I never appreciated how I looked when I was younger and at this weight the first time around. Now I feel unstoppable. Instead of hiding my body, I'm buying clothes that show it off and I'm actually posting pictures of myself on facebook. My husband loves my new look (even though he was always supportive when I was heavier), but most of all he loves my new confidence level.

Thats a good question with a simple answer.
I feel better, healthier and more self confident!
My clothes fit better and I feel moree attractive :)

Some of those clothes in the back of our closets and in storage might fit us again.

Having lost over 130 lbs, I have seen a lot of changes. My health, my happiness, nice clothes.....Oh yeah, I'm a new me...The me I really was all along is coming out in confidence, self-esteem and genuine love for others that are also on this journey!
