    ...you think you must have got shorter because you can't reach the car pedals as well, but realised it is because your *kitten* ain't as fat

    .....your "knee length" pants turn into "just above ankle pants". That FREAKED me out!!! Hilarious.

    ....you put on a t-shirt you wore on honeymoon and it looks just like it did then (little tight across boobies, but to be expected after 2 kids ;-))

    love this topic!

    The moment when the dress in your wardrobe you had been trying to fit in is too BIG!

    also when your uniforms at work get so big you have to keep going down sizes! (3 sizes so far) & also the moment when you realise you are not in plus sizes anymore!
  • It hasn't happened for me yet (I've just started!) but I'll tell you what my moment's going to be...

    That moment when you can comfortably share your full-size bed with someone and not feel crowded.

    I wish i could like all these posts! they are great! Especially when you have all experienced these & i know I have experienced some of these too!

    I tried on my wedding dress not so long ago just after our 1 yr weddng anniversary and it justs swings around me doens't fit anywhere! :D

    I was looking at my 21st b'day photos today and I think I am smaller now than I was then! :)

    Ohh and another good one, the moment when you only take up your seat on the train and not bulge over onto the one next to you!

    The seat belt buckle no longer digs into the side of your hip.

    Taking extra time with hair and makeup, because you want to look as good as you feel.

    Smiling at and greeting everyone you encounter during the day.

    Finally getting up to 20 min on the arc trainer without falling out.

    Employees and patrons of your gym start to notice your efforts and give you advice and encouragement.

    Ahhh, who knew life could feel this good!
  • Love this!!

    You all are doing so good! I am floored that so many people are into this thread. Makes me feel good to know we can all encourage each other.

    That moment when you decide this spring, you're going to start running - and then you get to stir-crazy and go out in the middle of Feb.

    :) Already done my first 2 runs of 2.5 miles. Already seeing improvements. Can't wait to keep going!

    That moment when you're kind of bummed that you've done your workouts for the day... because you'd like to do more. The reason I won't is because my quads are screaming. 53 minutes of INSANITY and then a 2.6 mile run.

    Patience, young grass-hopper. Patience.

    That moment I found out I could do handstand pushups even at #300. Score one for muscle overcoming fat.
  • That moment when you don't freak out over a 'someone posted new photos of you' notification on facebook because you're afraid people will see how fat you are.
    ...you get that awesome endorphin rush when you've pushed your body to its breaking point and then go beyond.
    You realize you like that "omg I'm going to die" feeling when your doing cardio.

    These^, and:

    That moment when you realize that, not only are you making it through the whole workout, but you are working harder every time you do it.

    ....when your husband picks you up for the first time in years, and then starts doing it every day when he gets home.

    ...when he constantly feels and squeezes your arms, legs, butt. CONSTANTLY lol.

    ....when you can keep pace with the instructor.

    ....when you reach down and grab your thigh and realize it's firm, and you aren't even flexing.

    ....when you finally go to buy new clothes and you have gone from a 14 to a 6, and you weren't expecting it at all.

    ....when you realize people look at you, smile at you, and men open doors for you, and it's not all because you've lost weight, but because you are more confident and it shows. People may have been looking and smiling at me all along, but I wouldn't know because I never looked at anyone.

    ....the first time I held a 60 second plank.

    ...the first time I ran a mile.

    .... I could go on and on forever.

    I love all these posts!! Can't wait to reach some of these moments!!!
    I have had one so far:

    Twice a week I have been huffing and puffing through cardio classes with a tough (and wonderful) instructor. I never give up no matter how hard she pushes me!
    Finally, the other night, one of the 'fit' chicks said "this is a really hard class..you're doing a great job!"
    Oh YES!

    Need some encouragement this morning - the workout took it all out of me :/ - help me out, friends.
  • Going shopping with my friends and realizing I've lost 2 pant sizes and my girlfriend *lovingly* called me a skinny b*tch. :)

    That moment when you wake up and tell yourself that you just can do the workout this morning - and then you roll over and get dressed, move to the living room and begin.

    Win.

    That moment when I realized I didn't have to turn to the side to pass someone in the hallway at the office!

    The moment you realize that your butt is getting so small that your pants won't stay up.

    That moment when you realize that you need to increase your weights in your workout because the ones you're currently using are too easy to lift.

    That moment when you realise your days of being too shy to call out to classmates and join the biggest groups of people chatting are far behind you! All because of increased confidence from realising you don't actually look like **** anymore :)

    That moment when... You put on the t-shirts that you stole from your 6'ft 230lb bf which used to JUST FIT (or was a little snug) and they start to fall off your shoulder :):)

    That Moment When...

    You go to get your taxes done, and the tax preparer you only see one time each year greets you with, "You look really good!" You smile, thinking it's just small talk, and when everything is finished and you're about to leave her office, she says again, "You know, you look REALLY good, I can tell you've lost weight!" And, you proceed to tell her about MFP and she writes everything down so she can check it out for herself.

    Happened to me just yesterday! :)

    ....you reach the top of the hill and listen to the quiet for a moment before you realise that what you aren't hearing is you wheezing and gasping for breath! :bigsmile:

    you realize that a few months of hard work has added years to your life!!!!:noway:
  • That moment when...you wake up in the morning and your favourite flannel pj's are halfway down to your ankles!:) This happened this morning and hubby is swearing it wasn't him!!
  • That moment you discover a new game - putting on (and taking off) your jeans without undoing either the zip or button - provides endless hours of amusement - and a huge grin on my face!!:happy:

    When you make bad choices for one day and don't freak out because you know you'll be right back at it the next day.
