You know your losing weight when

alaskancoppertop

Thought of another one... when you can come out of the ocean and go home without getting a rash on your inner thighs from all the friction!!

yessie75

your 12 year old daughter notices and says "mom, you look great!"

cpafford79

You catch a glimpse of your "hind quarters" in the bathroom at work and no longer see those dredded panty lines from where your pants were too tight!!

I've discovered one...last night! When you lay in your bed on your side and can actually feel your hip bone pressing into the mattress!!!! I couldn't believe it!

PureAndHealthy

you can feel you hip bones. I did not know what hip bones were!

My husband told me the other day that he can feel my hip bones again!! Yippee!!!!

That's what I was going to say! All I've ever knew was fat... you mean I have bones and muscle under that fat??? :noway:

tyme4me

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!! I haven't laughed this much in a while. The sad part is I can relate to most of the posts.

Last month, I had to have an abdominal x-ray and the guy had to really push to find my hip bones, how embarrassing was that?!?!?!? :blushing: I started my diet as soon as I left the hospital!!

Changeisgonnacome

when you lay on your back and your belly doesn't hangover your sides. (I can't wait for the day when I lay on my side and my belly doesn't touch the surface I'm laying on.... this day WILL come!)

when you look down and the first thing you see are your boobs and the next your TOES!!!

krhbutte

You can actually scratch the middle of your back with your hand!!!

You know you're losing weight when you walk past a mirrored building and don't realize you're looking at yourself. lol. This happened to me the other day. I was like "wow. who's that? she looks good" and then i realized it was me.

Ahmee2034

krhbutte & femmerides - so totally know what you mean. Wow! Amazing how different we all are but yet can relate to so many things. It amazes me how much we really are all alike when you get down to living healthy. Great motivation femmerides! Good job and your weight loss!:drinker:

scplummer

I have one............

you know you've lost weight when your daughter tells you that your stomach no longer folds in half and your belly button is back! :happy:

:laugh: Exactly! I know what you mean about the towel, too! I constantly searched for bath SHEETS while I was pregnant and then more after I had my daughter. Now I won't dry off with anything else because they're the only towels that close all the way!

A "regular" towel might just barely close for me but even if it did I would still use the bath sheets. I like feeling covered, especially if i have to walk out of the bathroom without clothes on. The sheets work better for wrapping my hair as well.

You don't have to feel bad about using the bath sheets is what I'm saying. I'll still use them when I've lost the weight I want to. :bigsmile:

you know you're losing weight when you run 3 miles, do an hour of intense cardio, go to the track and walk for an hour and run a few laps and come home and STILL want to work out. :-) I have SO much energy!

You know you're losing weight when you can fit into a dress that you have had stored away for 6 years that you haven't worn since HIGH SCHOOL! :-)

You know you're losing weight when your cravings go from wanting junk food and greasy food to fresh fruit and veggies. I LOVE eating strawberries!

You know you're losing weight when you can FINALLY get a super cute SHORT hair cut because your face is a lot skinnier.

Just a few. :-)

You know you're losing weight when...

You go shopping because your old clothes don't fit and instead of it being depressing because you need a bigger size you get excited and actually enjoy it because you are going down in sizes and can actually wear the cute clothes and they look good!

You look forward to wearing the sexy little number for your hubby and not minding if the lights are on! :blushing:

You look forward to eating fresh fruits, veggies and other healthy foods and doing active stuff for fun instead of looking forward to a night sitting on the couch watching TV with a greasy pizza, soda, and a bag of chips!

You can wear a bathing suit and not be completely embarrassed to be seen in public!

You go shopping and realize you can fit into the cute clothes but don't even know where to start because you forgot how to shop for anything but jeans and t-shirts because nothing else used to look good on you!

Kityngirl

You know you're losing weight when...

Your pants only fit when they first come out of the dryer...and you don't need to do squats and yoga moves just to be able to breathe in them.

You have two pairs of the same jeans and you thought you put on the bigger size, but later found out that you had put on the smaller size. That happened today. :happy:

femmerides

You know you're losing weight when you have to try on 15 different shirts to find one that isn't huge on you. :-)

pdj1220

When you no longer have to lie to your kids about hating movie theaters, because you can now fit into the seats. That one was huge for me.

emiliabeth

When you've had a bar of Toblerone in your cupboard for a week and all the choc-triangles are still in tact.

When you don't have to break a sweat and lay on the bed to do up your jeans.

You buy your first ever 2 piece swimsuit! (It's only a tankini, but I am SO FREAKIN EXCITED about it!)

:drinker: :flowerforyou: CONGRATULATIONS!!!! THAT'S SO EXCITING! I know how you feel. I've achieved almost all of the same ones you have so I know how you feel. The only one I'm still working on is the arm flappity, flap thing. I'm doing toning right now. I see progress in my legs but not so much yet in my arms but I'll get there!

Here's my latest "you know you're losing weight when..." your husband tells you that you have a really nice butt and wants to whip it:blushing: ! I haven't heard that one in years! Also, he told me that I've always been a beautiful women but now I've finally got the body to match! I love him! :laugh:

I GOT MY ARMS BACK IN SHAPE BY PUSHING MY STROLLER ALL OVER THE PLACE!!! ITS THE BEST WORK OUT FOR THE UPPER BODY!

Ahmee2034

Stroller?! No thanks! A baby comes with that, right? :laugh: I'm actually looking on ebay right now for hand weights. :drinker:

when people stop asking "how many months are you"?

haha! I can't wait until I don't look pregnant anymore! I carry most of my weight in my stomach and usually adults don't say anything but several kids have asked me if i was going to have a baby....lol

FitMomRunning

Just what I needed today! It was nice to be reminded of how far I really have come.

You catch a glance of yourself before jumping in the shower and your back and butt are both smooth :noway:

You keep pulling at the skin under your chin because you can't believe it's gone down so much.

It's not an acrobatic feat to put on/take off your sports bra.

Your ultimate goal doesn't seem so far away anymore.

You sign up for a race and meet your goal for the first time ever.

Your vest that you couldn't button 3 months ago now fits perfectly.

Okay...I have a couple (kind of embarrassing)

You know you're losing weight when...

You're @ the train station rush hour and your undies fall down

you have to tighten up your bra strap so tight til it almost on your neck and the girls still pop out.:noway:

I had to reply, because I have a few of the same. I lay between my husband and the tv at night. A few weeks ago he remarked that he no longer has to prop up his pillow to see the tv. He can lay flat now and see over my stomach. Then he said another time that he no longer rolls toward me at night because my side sinks in. He said all of this with lots of love and we both laughed. So I can relate.
