When you lose weight successfully it isn’t just the numbers on the scales that change although that’s the thing most people tend to focus on.
Lots of people have reported other changes too, often things you wouldn’t necessarily expect.
Whether you’ve just started on your weight loss journey or well on your way to reaching your goal there will be some of these changes you might look forward to yourself, or perhaps have noticed already, that will really spur you on.
Here are just a few of the comments from people. Just like you, they’ve had their highs and lows, good days and bad, but still remain positive and motivated.
We hope these are a few things you have either experienced or you have to look forward to and are things other people have said in your situation:
