    This may be imagined in my head since I'm juuust starting all this and began doing squats last week, but here goes...

    My legs. They feel lighter and stronger at the same time. They don't look at all thinner, but I feel like something's happening in my quads. A good thing. I don't know how or if it's even possible at this point, but that's how I feel.

    Also, I just feel better overall now that I'm eating healthier. Even if I don't make my monthly mini-goals, I just feel better more often because I'm going to the gym and I'm eating better.

    Another little thing: This is my 50th post on MFP. *small sprinkle of confetti* :)


    Awesome!!!

    ????????????????????

    I :heart: this post! The little things are what keep us going.

    1. Last summer I noticed some of my tank tops became a little too scandalous to wear. I lost fat in my shoulders and upper back, so the previous normal to low cut became a "look at these puppies!" cut.

    2. When I try on clothes now, they usually fit! I even fit into a size 6, only one pair of shorts, but I've never fit into a 6 so I'll take it. :smile:

    3. This one is harder to explain. When I sit cross-legged, I no longer have this little mound of fat sticking up from where my knees bend.

    4. When I wear belts they don't dig into my stomach.

    5. My husband comes up and gives me a booty pat anytime he sees me in my workout clothes (seriously, it's better than lingerie!)


    Love all, especially #5, my hubby is that way, too!! When we ran together when it was warmer (damn winter!) I got attacked 3 times more a week than normal :blushing:

    I can now wear clothes that are 1 size smaller, and some of my pants and shorts that before used to barely fit me now fit me easily, in some cases loosely so I need a belt. I had to buy a smaller sized belt as well.

    Excellent post :) ... I have hip bones, I have one chin, more willing to do things! .... I put off doing an exercise class for months and months but 2014 I decided I was going to actually DO things and not just think about doing them, I've gone from a sedentary lifestyle to using an exercise machine ... Then added an exercise class ... Then DVDs and now another class :) I eat because I'm hungry, I can watch a film without needing 200 munchies haha ... So many benefits makes me excited to reach my goal weight and to finally fit into the outfits I picture wearing in my head haha .... Also I can sit in the bath without acting like a human dam because my hips no longer meet each side

    1) I can now leg press more than my partner
    2) I can walk faster without getting out of breathe
    3) my bingo wings are going
    4) Working out with my partner is far more fun as we push each other
    The biggest though is
    5) I can get through an entire nightshift at work with 1 decent meal inside me and not feel the need to snack as I used to :D

    Great idea for a thread. And congrats to everyone on their successes!

    1) I put on my smallest pair of jeans this a.m. and they are sagging.
    2) I no longer rush upstairs to change after work because my pants are no longer so tight they hurt (instead they are now loose)
    3) My ribcage sticks out when I lay down.
    4) I have muscles in my thighs. I didn't even have them when I was at my thinnest in high school!!

    1) I can see the progress in the mirror!
    2) I can fit into clothes that were too small just last fall.
    3)My bigger sized clothes are too big and will be getting donated soon.
    4) I feel better about what I am putting into my body.

    You two are amazing!!! I hate to say it, but shrinking out of sizes is getting irritating because just when something fits GREAT......it's baggy within no time. ???? wouldn't trade it for anything though!

    When I sleep in fetal position my knees rub and will bruise. I now sleep with one leg straight.
    I still feel fat, until I look in the mirror. Its a nice reality check, because I'm not used to be skinny yet.
    I've had to make new holes in my belts
    I have no more back fat!!!
    My bones are becoming very visible
    I get flirted with now.
    I can walk for a couple hours, instead of just 15 minutes.
    I decreased a shoe size
    Gone from a US 20 jeans to a 8 jeans.
    I stopped wearing my wedding ring a long time ago, because it just falls off.
    Bracelets fall off too.
    Necklaces fit better, not so snug around my neck.
    I'm more flexible and can do more positions in the bedroom (with my husband)
    My brother no longer calls me "fatty"
    I weigh less than my husband now. I used to be heavier than him
    My nose has shrunk. lol my glasses just slide down all the time.

    I could go on forever and ever and ever. I'm gonna stop here

    Standing with hand on hips and feeling the actual hip instead of a handful of fat.

    Picking out pants to show off assets.

    Wedding rings don't fit anymore. I didn't think my little size 5 fingers could get any smaller.

    Picking out my first ever push up bra. I never needed one before.

    Feeling hips is awesome!!

    Showing off ASSets, huh? :wink: wish mine was nice to show off.......due to age my rear is saggy and I have a muffin top on top. Boo. Thinking a body lift is in order

    Isn't it amazing how much our FINGERS shrink?!

    Mixed feelings on push up bras. They make you look great, but the sagginess sucks

    Great work!!!!
