TRexMom6525 60 Posted April 28, 2016 Having gone from 245 to 145 in less than a year I am so happy and thankful! However the scale doesn't reflect everything right my friends....So I love this topic because it gets us thinking about the awesome perks of losing weight beyond the scale! Here's my update : 1. My wedding ring is falling off - need a re- size 2. My pants never seem "tight enough" how many of us felt like our pants were previously cutting off our circulation ? Lol 3. I get complimented on my clothing by strangers .... Never happened before as I was always wearing frumpy clothes to cover up 4. Strangers in stores ask me " are you always this happy" .... Even though they don't know why- you guys get it .... " yes!!! Yes I am" 5. Finally - only regret .... Why the heck didn't I do this sooner ! Lovin life again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TRexMom6525 60 Posted April 28, 2016 One more thing ... Forgetting the size sticker on my new clothing isn't an embarrassment anymore it's all good ! 6 rather than 20 is a badge of honor rather than a shame sign ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
