Sounds like some husbands say possibly offensive stuff, but you guys take them as compliments. Well, I guess those ARE compliments, in the weird way that (some) men think.:laugh:

You realize that "empire" waist lines don't make you look pregnant!

You drop a shoe size

You rush to MFP to see the calories of EVERYTHING you eat BEFORE you eat it!

I hope to add many more to the list!

After birthing 8 kids, I never want to see another empire waist line ANYTHING!! :laugh:

mommakatx2

I've got one...

When you actually *look forward* to being weighed at the doctors office :bigsmile:

I used to dread being weighed at doctor appointments, especially since their scales always seem to weigh 10-15lbs heavier than my scale. But now? BRING. IT. ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

you can walk up a flight of stairs without stopping every 2-3 steps to catch your breath

YOU CAN SEE YOUR TOES without pushing your stomach out of the way :grumble: :laugh: :grumble: :laugh:
(although I look forward to the day where the obstacle is completely gone)

your fat clothes are now for your fat friends that refuse to change there evil ways and hate you because you did

you start looking for the tupperaware of clothes hidden just in case you did lose the weight

you start to feel confident about yourself and the way you feel

Hey, girl.This is true.
You know you are losing weight when you .......don't need help to stand up from a chair.
....... dont get tired while walking.
.......look at the mirror and you don't
see anymore that round belly in front of you.
......were a size 20 and fitted on one 16 button up.

Your kids point out that your side profile has change, double chin has decrease

Your boods stick out further than your stomach

Your butt has lifted up and looks like a butt

The muscle in your arms, thighs and calf are slowly starting to make an appearance

TMI here, you have to pee really, really bad and realize you can just pull your pants down without unbuttoning them

Being able to tie my shoes without having to hold my breath!

This is my absolute favourite thread on this board! These small, humorous benchmarks are what keep me going.

BxMom

You are so right because they remind of the things we couldn't do before because of our weight.

Everyone should give themselves a pat on the back for accomplishing this small goals

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

The best thing for me is i do pushups while watching tv. i'll do 10 modified push ups, then 50 leg lifts and 25 cruches...then repeat until you have 100 push ups total. some nights i do 200 push ups. :-) it REALLY helps.

...you can kneel during a church service and you don't have to wonder if you will have to call an usher or the local construction crane company to come help get you back up on your feet!!:laugh: :laugh:

barbiecat

You use your driver's license for I.D. and realize that you weigh less than it says you do.:bigsmile:

You don't cry when you try on clothes at the store.:bigsmile:

You go to trim your "area" and can see it by looking straight down :embarassed: :blushing: :embarassed:

When you are getting a peticure you look in the mirrors and take a second look - to be sure that the smallest chick sitting there was you ?! I do a double take when I catch my reflection

You know you're losing weight when you realize that your belly no longer sticks out as far (or farther) than your boobs!

You know you're losing weight when the clothes you gave to your mom because they were too tight actually fit you better than they did when you bought them, so now you want them back!

You stop grabbing the afghan or couch pillows to hold in your lap to hide your middle when sitting on the sofa. Has anyone else ever done this?

Wishful

OH! and the side seams in your pants go straight down!

ThatDollSally

Your watchband starts fitting looser.

You walk up to a store and think about how skinny that girl walking out is and you realize it's your reflection in the glass door.

You go to a restaurant with a large group of people and you're told to sit on the skinny side of the table.

You try on your prom dresses and realize that they all need to be taken in.

Your mom tells you where the box of her skinny clothes is in the attic.

I always used to do this!! I also always wear a bigger cardigan so when I go to dinner and sit down I can cover up my stomach rolls.

Now I only grab an afghan when I'm chilly.

You can watch the Biggest Loser without feeling guilty because you're actually working on yourself too.

how about... you lose more calories at home than at the gym, because your hubby won't stop chasing you around!:blushing:

You know you're losing weight when you have to get rid of all your fat clothes on a weekly basis and give them to your sisters and friends. lol. And all the clothes you gave them because you didn't think you'd ever be skinny enough to fit in, they give back to you. :-)
