    I know I've lost weight WHEN....

    1. My fat pants are waaaaay to lose
    2. The thought of going shopping for pants doesn't make me cry
    3. I feel comfortable wearing a dress after over 6 years.

    no more holes to use on my belt. kinda mad tho, b/c me and that belt have been thru a lot together. i was very attached to it. at my heaviest, i was on the biggest hole, now i was going to make my own holes until my dog chewed the end and made it unwearable anyway.

    i, too, can pull my shorts/pants down without unbuttoning them.

    wrapping a towel all the way around was nice too!

    I know I lost weight when... I can sleep with my wedding ring on & not wake up with my hand/arm asleep from cut-off of circulation! LOL Plus I have to wear a belt with all of my old pants now!

    I don't feel a roll around my waist. I have a very short torso so it happens easily unfortunately.

    Same! It sucks :(

    Ditto!!! :grumble:

    When I walk into a changing room in the shops with two of the same outfit - "my" size and the size I want to be - and end up returning the one that's "my" size and buying the other one since it fits so much better...

    The collar bones were an initial sign. Then the deflating "girls". . .ugh!

    But this morning before I headed out for my morning run, my 6 year old son saw my shirt from a previous race and stated, "You look even MORE skinnier in that shirt!"

    Out of the mouth of babes.

    My belt is too big, i don't line up with ANY of the holes. Yay! Who wants this cute a$s belt?

    I LOVED this. I had two different brown belts that didn't have holes, they just clasped at the front. They FALL off now!

    When airport security in London told me to put my hands up when they did the body scan (my belt already had to be taken off so I was holding them up with one of my hands) and my pants fell down in front of all! Since then I have bought new pants and they are too big, lol
