The first thing I noticed was that I was much more flexible and could reach for things without grunting! The second thing I noticed the other night when I went to watch my son's high school band concert. When I sat down in the seat, my hips didn't rub the arm rests! I am in heaven because of both of the above reasons.

How FULL I feel eating just part of the meals that I previously would wolf down with no problem. I think it's the breakfast and snacking.

This may sound a little inappropriate but I really didn't notice any changes until one night my BF and I were being intimate and he made a comment. About how good my piece of intimate apparel looked amazing. I ended up going into the bathroom and looking at myself and I noticed all sorts of things... my thighs were toning up, my arms didn't jiggle as much my collar bone is starting to stand out. Over the next few days I tried on some of my clothing and really noticed changes in how things wore and loved it. I love seeing these changes and honestly they still catch me by surprise!
Live, laugh, and love always.

Pants, skirts, shorts all became very loose around the waist. Nervous to invest in a smaller size (what if I gain the weight back???), but it's a great motivation to keep it off! Plus, engagement ring spins around my finger now; time to get it re-sized!
Suck it up and one day you won't have to suck it in.

I'm getting so many compliments on my appearance now, it's getting embarassing. And I'm only halfway there.
Don't give up!

My face looks thinner, my tummy is lessened, and I can fit in my clothes again! Lets keep this going!

I needed a belt for my jeans. I felt more focused, more motivated to get things done, I was able to participate fully in SparkPeople but I wasn't truly more energetic because I wasn't eating enough total carbohydrate calories a day. I think I need to eat breakfast earlier and add a morning snack to my diet to eat more a day. Eating healthy may be too low calorie for me as I'm usually under my diet recommendations for the day at 8 PM.

And there are just a few "ingredients" needed to make a healthy human: real, whole, fresh food, nutrients(vitamins and minerals), light, water, air, sleep, movement, rhythm, love, connection, meaning and purpose" Dr Mark Hyman

Yes! You are so right! So cool to actually give yourself the power to choose what you eat and track the calories. Like - no, I'm not eating that donut because I just don't want to. Feels great. I really want to keep this up.

I noticed space between my belly and the steering wheel. I have a chihuahua who prefers to sit in my lap while we drive...but over time my lap was getting smaller and smaller. He's gotten his favorite spot back and I can easily get in and out of my car! Win/win

More energy,sleeping better,not having a daily backache, and being able to bend over without squatting like a pregnant lady  . I also feel less stressed and more positive. My depression is pretty much gone too   .

Better sleep and more energy are the differences I noticed first.

My clothes are not tight and they are comfortable. I just feel better all around. when I see something moving on the scale, it gets me motivated.

I noticed my face is much slimmer, and my knees are not screaming at me all the time, just when I push them too hard.
Like a butterfly, I am shedding my cocoon, to emerge a bright new me!
