So, I'm new here, but I was curious as to what some of y'all out there have been hearing from people you know since you've lost weight. I have lost 50lbs recently and am blown away with all the comments and reactions I've received. My favorite so far is when a guy looks at me who I haven't seen in a while and I get the "Dammmnnnn!" I catch myself looking in mirrors all the time just to say, I can't believe that's me in the reflection. IT'S REALLY ME!

Another thing I've wondered is what has everyone noticed about themselves since they've lost weight. One of the things I've noticed about me is that I can actually cross my legs now and look like a lady. It is an absolutely fabulous feeling! And there are a ton of other little things like that too.

So I was just curious about all the other wonderful things happenin' out there with everyone else too!
 
I have had that feeling several times in my life as I am a yo-yo dieter. The one thing that sticks out in my mind was a close friend from school who started calling me slim and telling me how great I looked. I do remember that wonderful feeling.

Actually by you putting up this thread it has rekindled that desire to have that feeling. I want to feel slim and delicious again.

Right now I hate getting my picture taken and I hate looking at myself in the mirror. I hope to someday tell you what people are saying regarding my weight loss. As for now I've only lost 11lbs and you can't actually see that I have lost anything.

That's amazing! Good job.

I lost 12 pounds last year and it was really nice to be able to fit into some old clothes... of course I gained it all back this year. Oh well. start over.
 
I feel amazing. Thanks. I made a decision this year. I'm 29 and I'll be turning 30 in August. I refuse to be fat AND 30. I've been overweight my entire life. I'm talking since I was a kid. I've never ever been able to shop in normal stores where "normal" people shop. Now, I can go into almost any store and NOT even have to buy the biggest size in there. There's a wonderful change going on right now for me and I'm loving every minute of it!

Jennifuffa - How can you say only 11lbs! 11lbs is 11lbs which is fantastic!!! :D One of the greatest feelings for me was going from say, being in the 220's to being in the 210's and so on from there. Every 10lb increment was a major accomplishment. You should be very proud of what you've acomplished so far.
 
I have to say that age 18 and 156lbs, I am currently the slimmest I have EVER been, but still a bit to go before I'm 112lbs and at my target. One thing I love is that I'm not the fat girl anymore. I used to obsess about 'am I the fattest person in this room?' kind of stuff. I even managed to go to a restaurant at the weekend. That's the most important thing ever. I've had a phobia of eating in front of people for YEARS.

Also, I love things like today. I'm wearing a pair of jeans that I bought a month or so to 'slim down into' and they're too big now! I'm having to pull them up every minute!

Being slimmer is fantastic. I'm so much more confident, and to get skinny girls saying to me 'oh my God you look amazing! How did you do it?' is so wonderful.
 
I think the best feeling is being able to get back into my clothes. And to go back and get into a size 9 again! I hated being in the doubles. Not that was bad or anything I had been there for so long aftermy son was born I couldn't wait to get the weight off.
Another huge thing is my family complimenting me and then they are starting to get healthier about there lives. That is huge. I am very excited.:)
 
Congrates on the weight loss. How did you do it? If I were you I would keep my head up high and know in my heart that yes, I look damn good. I love peoples response to weight loss. What about those guys who wouldn't give a look at you when you were your heaviest and now they are all about you. YOU GO
 
So this weekend I was at a carwash and some guy whistled at me from the street as he was driving by!!! That's NEVER happened before. I was on cloud nine all day Saturday. I even called my mom to tell her about it :D
