Share your small wins!

I have a few of them:

1. Although I haven't lost a lot of weight (yet), I am making healthier choices, and saving money by making new delicious and healthier recipes at home (and my 6 year old is eating them without reservation as well!).

2. I pushed myself to run (albeit slow) a full 2 miles yesterday on the treadmill. Normally I would stop at a mile (since I delightfully found my slower pace), or stop anytime it felt too hard. I pushed myself through!

3. I am drinking more water than ever. I still allow myself a diet soda and coffee in the morning, but before that was ALL I would drink. I now drink 64+ ounces of water just at work, and only water at home from my Brita pitcher.

Every Monday, my daughter wants a strawberry julius after hockey practice, and my son chocolate milk --- I stop at Dairy Queen on the way home, I don't think twice about not ordering anything.... I am totally over eating "because my kids are" or "because I"m there". I eat when I am hungry, and eat what I want, in moderation if bad!

I've gotten my very first pair of skinny jeans, size 36 European.

My small wins so far are
i) After being embarrassed trying on belts in the store to find one that would fit (2x) I now need to buy a new belt.
ii) Being able to comfortably wear a snap cuff bracelet a friend bought me last year. I was busting out it and now it is on the the smallest snap.
iii) People commenting on how I have lost weight, even if i am hiding in my baggy clothes.

Trying on a size 16w dress and thinking that I could really get it. Considering last year this time, I was making my way above a 22/24W

I'm bumping this thread because it's awesome.


And because I have to add today's small victory - I bought a new bra (from an actual bra store with an old lady there doing fittings), and was able to go from a 42 band to a 38!

After busting my backside including lifting heavy weights. I've lost 5 pounds in the month of January. So, so happy about this achievement. Cant wait to see what February brings

I can cross my legs better and better. I find I sit like that most of the time now. There are some chairs where it is sitll uncomfortable...but fewer and fewer.

I totally remember this! I remember being so fascinated at how thin women can cross their legs with their knees on top of each other and when I tried it I would feel my circulation cutting off LOL now I can cross my legs like that :bigsmile:

this image is how I mean



By the way, I just tried it on my low couch and it was uncomfortable as **** lol make sure you're sitting in an actual chair XD

Okay first, I WANT THOSE SHOES!!!!

Second....even though it's only been 8.2 pounds, a pair of jeans I have that I would put on and have to do two squats to loosen up a bit before they felt comfy, I didn't have to do that this morning. In fact, they were just a smidge loose on the butt and thighs and I had to wear them with a belt today.

I realized that I have had to keep pulling my pants up every few minutes to keep them from sliding right off!

I already dropped a jean size and bought new pants last month. I now have to roll the top of those new jeans over to keep them from sliding all the way off as I walk ( I don't have a belt yet. I always thought the buckle made my waistline look bulkier than I already was lol)

Also, the number on the scale had been dropping and my clothes just seem to keep getting bigger but I couldn't SEE the difference in my body until today. I have been taking pics to document my weight loss but I could hardly tell the differences even though I KNEW I was losing weight. Today, I can see it in the pics for the first time!!!


Before ( 2 months postpartum )


Today ( 4 months postpartum ) I can see it! I can see it!!

Congrats to everyone on their awesome small wins! I had another weird one today... At work we use those ridiculously ugly rubber thimble-looking things on our fingers when we sort through large piles of paperwork, and while I've always needed the "GRANDE" size (no joke... it really says that on the box), today mine kept flying off my fingers. I had to request a new, medium-sized one. Ahhhhhh yeah! :smokin:

I've been exercising for almost two weeks now...and today I jogged...yes JOGGED up the stairs at work. Usually I'm huffing and puffing my way up them and can barely breathe by the time I get to the top. I did a little happy dance at the top and was only panting a little...haha!

I had to work in surgery yesterday.
I didn't look like an over stuffed sausage in my scrubs.
January has been a good month for me.

Someone in my daughter's school stopped me yesterday and told me I looked good like I had lost some weight. Its only about 6lbs, but hey someone who doesn't know me that well noticed!!!!!

My small win so far is that I had to make the band on my hrm smaller twice since I got it. I've had it about 2 weeks.

Love reading everyone's small wins!!
