DUDE CONGRATS!! \o/ That is awesome that you're feeling better and can move better. That's the best. And it sounds like you've found a way to live like that sustainably which is SUPER important.

I've lost like 20 lbs in the past four months just from getting back to exercising and not eating/drinking so much garbage AND I KNOW THESE FEELS!!
Every time I take a shower it's like OMG I FORGOT I HAD RIBS!! XD
