    I will start even though I was asked to create this thread. Tonight i have been referred to 4 times by different people at work as the incredible shrinking man. Works for me.

    My wife took me shopping for new bike pants, I asked the standard question "Why? Do the pants make my *kitten* look fat?". The answer was actually along the lines of , "No, but the pants look like they belong on a fatter *kitten* than the one you now have"

    She is also insisting I go and buy new work out shorts and trakky daks for the same reason.

    I love my wife, but I know never to make the same comments back :-)

    Out-lifting and out-pacing a group of high school seniors through a 60 minute circuit. They may have looked prettier, but they didn't get the compliment from the cute trainer.

    I bought new shorts the other day and they were size 34 and they fit. Before MFP in January I was up to a 40 or 42. I have also drilled 3 holes in my belt.

    Being able to fit in a booth at a restaurant rather than having to ask all the time for a table. I've also had the whistling co-workers. :)

    Gave my dad a couple of belts that I had "UNDERGROWN". A couple of days later her gave 'em back, said they were "too nice to give to him (?). " He said he cut about a third of it off and moved a medallion on it, and repunched some holes. Fits great now, and I have more shrinking room in it too!

    One of the owners of my company who is NEVER in the office was in town when we moved offices and she asked me "What happened to the rest of me?" It was a great feeling especially since she hadn't seen me in over a year.

    I have a two'fer to contribute. Saturday Morning I ran a 5k to benefit the Michigan State Police memorial fund. I ran the entire three miles, cut three minutes off my time and beat a pal that was also running in the race. Best part I felt good and smiled the whole way. The second NSV was the T-shirt I ordered a 2xl which I put on after the race, it is too big! I'm not sure that an XL would have fit, I tried a different one I had in my closet on and it is still a little tight but the 2XL doesn't fit well either.

    All Hail The Hat. I'm really glad I have this group, you guys understand.

    I can bend over and tie my shoelaces instead of throwing my foot over the other knee to tie them.

    I can squat down at the grocery store and grab something off the bottom shelf. The NSV is that when I stand up my knees don't crack and hurt.

    Bought work pants late last year, I had to get them all taken as it looked like I was wearing my Dads clothes when I was growning up. Also being able to buy and wear the slim fit work shirts and not feeling like I am about to shoot someone in the eye with a button.
