    no more back fat
    lovely muscle definition
    wearing tight tanks to show off defined shoulders!

    OH I want this so bad. I hate bathing suits for this one thing. I hate the skin fold where the bra stap usualy is.

    Ever since I started exercising regularly, I just feel less flabby! Hello, muscles, where have you been hiding all these years? ;)

    Things I've noticed after losing 30 lbs:

    I can bend over and tie my shoes without having to come back up for air.
    I have more cleavage because my shirts hang lower.
    When I looked down I see boobs and not my belly.
    All my shoes are too loose now, even my flip flops.
    I can actually feel that I have muscles hiding under my fat.
    I can lie on my back while exercising and not suffocate myself with my own boobs.

    Changing shoe size sounds strange, but I've heard it a couple of times now. Feet don't look like they've got fat on them. Everyone just change one size?

    Pants I got three months ago to celebrate losing ten pounds are now too big after losing the second ten.

    A jacket from college I thought I'd have to get rid of now fits loosely.

    I'm down from a 34x32 to a 30x32 and I can fit some 29's.

    I can do 25 handstand pushups.

    I can stretch further. Not because I'm more flexible but because there's less gut in the way.

    People describe me with a whole new vocabulary, like "slight".

    I've inspired others to sign up here and they've surpassed me. That makes me happy.

    My watch.

    It's like, overnight it went from fitting fine - not even tight - to slipping all over my arm with massive amounts of space between the strap and my wrist and skin. haha

    noticed when I was shaving this morning. When bending my knee 90 degrees my calf and thigh do not meet.

    I can now tie my t-shirt in a double knot around my waist with my sleeves while jogging on hot days. I couldn't do this before

    My compression shorts don't compress much anymore


    BTW, there are some very interesting and amusing things posted in this thread. Congrats to all of you

    Just a few of many:

    I was at the barber's the other day and sat in the seat and there was room - first time in many, many years. Same at the cinema. Can't wait to get on a plane, dare I hope I don't have to ask for an extension belt any more? ;)

    I can bend forward on the minibus that takes us to work every morning - the seatbelt was at its absolute limit at my heaviest and I was worried about needing an extension.

    I'm not out of breath when nipping to the offices upstairs.

    I noticed on the (full chari) stationary bike that peddling was a lot less painful when your knee's don't hit your gut on every rise.

    Wow! I never thought about it until I saw something about it on Good Morning America this morning...
    I DON'T snore anymore. I used to be a very heavy, every night kind of snorer. Since I've dropped the 30+ lbs, I no longer am a "window rattler".
    By all appearances, I was not a heavy person. But if you looked at my BMI, I was over-weight. Lost the weight = Lost the snoring!
