I can reach parts of myself more easily in the shower;

I can sit with one leg under me;

I have an easier time trimming my toenails; and

crossing my legs is a little more easy, but will get even easier.

For me in my best days of this, it was loose pants and a thinner face. Right now I have slipped away from that time again. You guys are inspiring me to get back with the game. Thanks

I thought of a few more:

I haven't taken my heartburn medicine in I don't know how long. Months.

My wedding ring is spinning around on my finger, and soon I will have to take it off so it doesn't fall off.

My hubby says I do not snore anymore.

Can you believe even my shoes are fitting looser.

I have four garbage bags of clothes in my room that don't fit anymore and are on their way to goodwill.

My wedding ring slipped off my finger and into the trash when I was cleaning the fridge. I am always stepping out of my shoes these days.

I fit in my bikini again! Woohoo!!! (So, obviously, I am so ready to go swimming!!)

I have tons of energy to get through not only what i HAVE to for the day, but other things too.

My kids (9, 7, and 7) can reach their arms all the way around me and sqeeze!!

Also, I feel very sexy again.

My GUMS are shrinking! My mouth is all different inside.

My feet are shrinking.

My boobs are growing. Gotta be all that wandering estrogen.

I can say more words per breath.

My engagement ring (and my wedding ring) have to be brought in to be sized.

I tried on my wedding dress the other day, and found that it was now too big, when a month ago, I could not get it done up all the way. It too will have to be sized before my wedding day.

My softball "uniform" is much looser than it used to be. My chest has shrunk slightly, which is a very good thing for me.

Overall, I am just feeling better about myself.

It's not as hard for me to keep my big stomach sucked in.

It's getting harder for me to "lose" my forefinger in the folds of flab on my back when I lean back (I was disgustingly surprised when I could do this).

My rings are definitely looser and I think it is time to buy some new clothes because mine are starting to look pretty sloppy and baggy...YAY DH is due for some smaller clothes also!
