Thursday Thirteen


Thirteen Things TC loves about the changes in her body
  1. I love that I now have NO BACK PAIN! None at all. I stopped and thought about it today and I don't remember the last time I had back pain.
  2. I love how much less pain I have in general. I started losing weight in the middle of January. Now in the months of November and December I took 200 ibprofen. I had to take them to get through my day. I bought a bottle of 500 pills in January and I still have lots left. I am thrilled.
  3. I love that I can fit into regular sized clothing. I get to move out of the plus sized section and back into the cute stuff.
  4. I love that I no longer have swollen knees at the end of the day.
  5. I love that I no longer have more than the normal number of chins.
  6. I love that as I lose weight, I start to see more of my daughter's face in mine.
  7. I love that there is room for us to lie side by side on the couch and cuddle now.
  8. I love that I can see my ribs now.
  9. I love how that I can see definition when I flex my arms.
  10. I love that I am not exhausted after a day of housework.
  11. I love that my stomach is better. I have less food issues.
  12. I love that my husband is noticing and telling me how sexy I look.
  13. I love that I can look at my body and be proud. I don't hide from pictures anymore.

This is a FANTASTIC list! Good for you! I've lost 43 lbs. since January 1 myself, and #2 is the thing I love most -- my knees and calves used to hurt all the time, but no more!

Hope you continue to do well!

My TT is up, too.

OMG! Thanks for stopping by my site. I am TOTALLY in love with yours now, too! You have inspired me! I need to loose about 70 pounds, give or take. I'm adding you to my bookmarks and will keep checking in.

You have guts, posting all of this. And by those guts you have inspired me. Now I ALSO vow to loose those gut-pounds!

Thanks for stopping by my "13 Quickies"! ;)

I'm 200 and my goal is 150. Exercise is key, of course but the greatest incentive is continual weight loss.

**NOTE TO MY FRIENDS**
Come on in for a nice cup of coffee and a chat about my weight loss journey as well as all the healthy recipes I have found, including WW points and/or nutritional information if available. I am eating a vegetarian diet and concentrating on getting healthy and hopefully weight loss will follow. Thank to all my readers for their ongoing support.
