Ok, here's my list!
*sqwee*
1. I LOVE how guys are opening doors for me.
2. I LOVE how I catch guys lookin' me up and down.
3. I LOVE hearing people call me 'Skinny'---it seriously puts a spring in my step and huge freakin' grin on my face.
4. I LOVE buying new clothes! I can't wait for the new spring lines to come out so I can buy me some size 10's! (almost to the single digits!)
5. I LOVE that I can out dance my students---you'd think that 7 year olds have endless energy...but apparently I've got them beat! I can do a full 40 minutes of dancing and they're all sitting down and asking for water. It's great.
6. I LOVE that I run---even though I'm still to shy to run on the treadmill at the gym.
7. I LOVE it ALL!!!

Yes you're right. Mal -this is a thread for positivity, a thread for sharing all the little things we didn't realise we are missing before, a thread for celebrating the successes we have had AND NOT a place for lamenting the fact that we are overweight to start with. Now stop your moaning or get out.Stop being so depressive and all but begging people to say nice things or ill slap you
Everybody else, fantastic! I particularly love the "waah" story, that must be such a confidence boost! Congrats for turning waah around!
Katie, I hope one day somebody will also reffer to me as skinny....., I'm sure that day will come sometime soon, well done for getting there!
Keep it coming people......, loving the lists!

1. going shopping today and buying pants in a smaller size and still able to breathe!!
2. Getting hit on by the checkout guy after I tried on the pants and was already on a high because of the smaller size!
3. Having the checkout guy watch me walk out of the store!
4. Being able to have a great start to what could have been just another boring day in my life!!!

New items for my list
- I hate the way I look in my clothes.......
Explanation: I had to pick up some "bigger" clothes back in December because my regular work attire was getting far too tight. Once I got those new clothes I felt much more secure since the buttons werent bulging out and threatening to take out a coworkers eyeball. But now, 3 short months later, my pants and shirts are all so damn baggy looking I am forever adjusting the bunched up areas to not look ridiculous. Seriously. Constant fidgetting. However the clothes I couldn't wear anymore due to projectile button threats now look fantastic!!!! I want to hold off on buying new clothes yet, as I am hopefully they would just be ridiculously baggy soon enough too.
leading me to
-the second new list item,
I am not afraid to take of my tie at work! I would have never taken off the tie in the office, even at the end of the day, since that would expose those bulging buttons and the threat to those around me! Now I am ready to rip that tie off the second the clock hits 5:30, sometimes sooner!
Cant wait till I cant wait to rip the whole shirt off!!! Though the office manager might have something to say about that......

4) I have cheek bones

6) I feel more fit and energetic
7) My body feels all firmer and more toned

love this thread. heres my list:
- being able to wear more kinds of clothes. for example, a recent discovery that i could now wear: tube tops, mini skirts, short shorts, dresses
- seeing my new body in the mirror every morning, and remembering what it used to look likeiggy:
- collar bone, no more double chin, hip bones when im laying down, nicer looking knees, cheek bones
- the compliments i get from people, being called skinny for the first time in my life
- being smaller then i ever was as a teen - i never was smaller then 150 but now i am lower than 140!!
- catching my boyfriend staring at me
- being more confident, approachable, content
- feeling like i am finally in control and CAN choose my body shape, and that anything is possible if i work hard enough
- not avoiding cameras
theres probably more but thats all i can think of for now

I haven't lost much, but I feel great...
1. I have more confidence in everything I do.
2. I have more control over how I feel all day!
3. My friends first started complimenting my progress...
4. ...then started to diet and exercise too.
5. Food is a lot cheaper when cravings don't get you!
6. I love that I work out in the morning everyday... If I do nothing else productive all day after that... I still did something great for me!
7. My asthma does not bother me at all anymore.
and for the future:
At 50+ years, I'm gonna be on the beach in a speedo, with giant muscles, fake and streaky tan, covered in oil! Everyone will think I'm disgusting, but I know I'll be damn sexy

2. I can go in a shop with confidence that I'm gonna find something that fits me, a great feeling, and so many more clothes options!
4. I feel physically crappy if I eat a lot of junk food (as opposed to guilty).
7. I can when I'm out of the shower, I can wrap my towel around myself & wear it like a skirt
12. I can eat in public without feeling people are judging my choices.
13. I'm happy to have my photo taken.
You had my 1s in there already, except for the skirt/towel thing ha but it goes around me with room left now as opposed to not passing my gut- its frickn great
