I lost 70 lbs and I don’t feel any better

People said I would have more energy, sleep better, feel happier, bike better, and have more concentration. None of that happened. I am close to ideal weight now but feel the same as I did 3 years ago when I was obese. I know I’m healthier. No more sleep apnea or pre-diabetes. But do I feel it? No. I am just as tired and just as dazed. The only possible exception is that it’s easier to ride my bike uphill. Maybe it’s because it happened slowly. Maybe it’s because those effects are overrated.

I lost 20 lbs and can't do any more. mentally i feel exactly the same which is the crux of the matter. physically my digestion has improved but I haven't felt much different otherwise. maybe it's because you were already very active.
