Let's have a vanity moment here. What do you like about your looks or body now that the weight has/is coming off?

I love to look at my hands! My metacarpals are beautifully defined and my fingers seem so long and lean. II went from a size 10-1/2 ring to a 7-1/2.

When I lay down in bed at night and drape my arm across my abdomen I feel my rib cage.

I can see my collar bones.

My thighs don't rub together when I walk (well, the skin does if I'm nekkid...LOL)

I can cross my legs.

I've noticed that there are a lot of posts on OH about the things we don't like about our bodies... time to give them a little love :)

My jaw line and cheek bones and dimple. I am amazed at how defined they are becoming. :)

my face though it was never "big" was round its now a lot more defined, and is now "thin"
my hands managed to shrink even more (they were tiny to start with like child's hands), my wedding rings are always falling off, time to wear a necklace, Speaking of neck mine seems to be missing oh well half of it anyways :) ;) i love how tiny my waist is getting. i have at least for now Full figured hour glass shape that is driving my husband wild.
speaking of wild :) sexy time with said husband is now EASY and FUN, and i dont feel like its a chore any more.
:) theres more but i dont want to sound full of my self haha.

congrats on feeling better about your self!! :)

I'm going to take updated pics while you is running since you will be way ahead of me, but I have a good excuse!
