I put my hands on my hips today and found that I have a waist again!

I love reading these! I am a new and have logged in for 21 days. Which may not seem like much, but I usually give up by now. I have lost just over 3lbs. And I can't wait until I start noticing changes. You all are so inspiring!

How many pounds had you all lost when you started noticing your changes??

I knew I was losing weight when I was getting draft up my winter coat because there was no belly to block the incoming air.

I knew I was losing weight when I went to scratch my belly and got scared for a min because there was not nearly as much tummy as there used to be!

Well...

I knew I was losing weight the morning in the shower when I couldn't figure out what was on the floor of the tub. It was MY TOES Now I just keep them happy with bright pedicures (coral, hot pink, aqua, lilac, whatever strikes my fancy) every two weeks. Because while the weight keeps going down and the clothes keep getting smaller and I can fit in some of my old stuff again, nothing makes me as happy as wiggling my bright toes at myself! My inner child is still alive and quite well apparently

Simply love this one.
YOu just made my day

When my earring posts are too big. At first I couldn't figure out what was different, my earlobes are thinner!

i knew i was losing weight (aka finally losing the stubborn belly fat, which is reason why i wanted to lose weight in first place) when; I looked down while in shower and saw the sides of my hip-to-hip tattoo showing!
had not seen it in a couple plus years without having to either bend downwards, lift belly fat up, or look in mirror beforehand..that was back in early november, i can see all but center part nowadays and am now questioning why the heck i went and got a darn tattoo down there

I knew I was succeeding when I put on my shirt and it hung straight down from by boobs, not my belly, when I could take off my formerly tight jeans with out unsnapping or unzipping them. 25 pounds down 50 more to go...

When I feel confident trying on (and buying!) skinny jeans and the stretchy tight workout pants.

I knew I was losing weight when I was finally able to wrap and tuck a towel around me after bathing and when I was able to cross my legs and relax

This! I'm still excited about this a couple weeks after realizing it.

I knew I was losing weight when I could pull my jeans off my hips without undoing the buttons.

When my snug but comfy workout pants started getting loose.

When my bras started getting more comfortable.

When I could see my cheekbones for the first time in years.

When my rings slid on and off with little effort.

When I realized being on top was easier than it had been in a long time

Where I work if someone calls in late they bring breakfast for the shop normally it is tacos yummy.... today there were tacos and donuts and pastries ..... Normally I will steal one if not all . But now I find myself not wanting the sweets or grease

Hahahhaahha me too.

I knew I was losing weight when I needed a belt to keep my jeans from going down.

I knew I was losing weight when the frames for my eye glasses started falling off my face.

I knew I was losing weight when I didn't feel my love handles roll and collapse when I take off my bra.

Me too! Though my husband would tell me that my snoring was like a purring kitten, I was unhappy knowing that I was snoring whenever I slept on my back.

Also, I hardly ever have heartburn. I don't know if it's from my 12 lb weight loss or from not stuffing myself full at dinner!

I knew I was losing weight when I put on some old gym clothes and it looked like this:

samgamgee

I knew I was losing weight when my cardigan started to slip down off my shoulders and pool around the tops of my arms when I was walking! One of these days it's going to slide right off me, lol.

farmgirl1677

I knew I was losing weight when I had to tighten my belt to the last hole!

adaffern

I know I'm losing weight...my boss told me my pants were too baggy!!

Reneeark

1.I knew I was losing weight when child's pose felt more comfortable.
2. I knew I was on the right track when I am thinking when is the next time I "get" to work out, instead of "have" to work out. 3.I knew I was becoming the gym rat I always wanted to be when I get upset or disappointed when a class is cancelled.
4. I know I will reach goal because I have had my a-ha moment.

I knew I was on the right track when I stopped having cravings for junk food. I've only lost 3 pounds so far, so my journey is just only beginning. But for me, this is huge. I always struggled with fast food and junk food. Way to go everyone! (:

I knew I was losing weight when I ran out of holes on my belts, when I got in those trousers I'd bought 10 years ago (horrid but they were even lose on me!), slim cut shirts fitted me and I had to drop two sizes in jeans. But most of all, it was getting back my mojo!

bendis2007

When I could wrap the towel all the way around my body and it stayed on no problem!!!

krazgrl

When I put on a pair of my lounging capri sweats and the synched calf part was loose (and the waist).
When the larger pair of jeans I just bought began falling down when I walked.
When I started to drown in my old shirts that used to be snug. (Went from XL/XXL to L)
When I no longer was so depressed to shop for clothes because the larger sizes were so limited and sometimes I didn't even fit those.
When I no longer needed to shop for a size 16. I fit into 12s and some 10s!
When I could wear the necklace in my profile pic again. It got too snug it felt like a choker. (I've lost about 3" in my neck)

SnazzIT

I knew I was losing weight when I could easily slip through two parked cars without setting their alarms off lol!
