What I love about losing weight (and keeping it off!):

1). I love the inner transformation the most, you feel like you can achieve anything and you feel more confident in your ability to transform your life.

2). I love the physical transformation when you start to see your stomach getting smaller, your legs looking leaner and also the glow in your skin and the smile on my face!

3). I love having the energy to trackle busy days and love the fact I can sleep well knowing that I've done something for myself.

4). I mostly love the fact that I'm doing this for myself and no one else!

Wow where to start.

I love the new found energy I have.

I love that my jeans are falling off me.

I love that My boobs are shrinking and I can wear bras that havent fit me in years.

I love going through my wardrobe and trying on clothes that havent fit me in years.

I love seeing how proud my family is of me.

I love not being tempted by junk food.

I love that I have totally given up coffee and alcahol.

I love that i finally love to exercise. Something I never ever ever ever ever ever used to do.

I love that I am finally feeling like me again.

And most of all, I love thinking about the future and how much happier and healthier I am going to feel when I reach goal.

Current Goal:

What a great idea! J

I LOVE…

…Getting ready to go to work in the morning and feeling that little bit more confident to walk around in my undies and bra (around my house of course) without feeling like a giant whale.

…Seeing my weight get smaller and smaller when I weigh in.

…Planning a delicious meal for dinner from the TF cook book.

…Putting on my clothes and feeling them get loose – not tighter!

…Getting compliments off people when they notice the weight loss.

…Coming on these forums and talking to people about their weight loss journeys and looking at the before and after pics – it REALLY motivates me. I cannot wait to share my before and after pics once I get to my goal weight.

...Thinking about what colour and style of bikini I will be wearing next summer with my HOT new body & flat stomach! J
