    What are we noticing?

    I thought it might be interesting to start listing the things we are noticing in our bodies as we progress on this woe.

    * When I was working out today, I noticed that the rounding of my upper arms is reducing. It's not quite a straight line from my shoulders down, but it's definately getting there.

    * My jeans are loose in the thighs.

    * I wear a men's "wife beater" tank top over my workout shorts and sports bra, and it is no longer as tight over my abdomen.

    * When I wake up in the morning, I always have a good, lean, strong sensation.

    It's ALL good!!!!!!!

    I noticed today when I was stretching....that I actually can see my calf muscles now. My face is thinner. And some clothes are getting way too big.

        Wow! This is a motivating thread. Just reading what has already been posted is exciting!

        I hope more people post the positive changes they have encountered in their weight loss/healthier living journey.

                  1. I don't feel like death every morning when I wake up
                  2. I like -gasp- excersizing in the morning
                  3. my clothes feel looser and a LOT more comfortable!

                      No more double chin

                      My "woobie" night shirts that I lived in are way too big now

                      I need a new smaller woobie

                      My legs aren't rubbing together when I walk

                      Walking has become a way of life daily for me.

                      Guys are being pigs once again (wink)

                      I have more energy on stage

                      I feel sexier!

                      I look much smaller than what I actually weigh (bonus)

                        Great Thread!

                        1. My pants are getting really loose in the belly area.

                        2. I can handle more physical activity without getting exhausted and out of breath.

                        3. I don't feel guilty about food I am eating, because I am eating proper food.

                        4. I'm not as tired.

                        5. Food in no longer controlling me.

                        Great job to everyone else!!!

                              It is a good feeling, Kat. Its been a LONG time since I was able to say that. I don't feel this overwhelming need to eat. Its great. I used to plan my days around what I was going to eat. Sad, I know. But I'm beating it and feeling much better about food and myself. It has been very difficult getting on track with this Second Time Around. However, I will not give up. And the results are starting to come through!
