    I got a pair of trousers and 2 pairs of jeans that are a UK size 12 (US size 8) when I've always needed UK size 14-16.
    I can also run for half an hour straight on the treadmill these days :smile:

    Oh, and being able to feel my ribs without sucking in:tongue:

    My biggest victory was being able to do a full press up. Not a girly one. Not one where I pretend I've gone all the way down but a real FULL nose touch the floor and back up press up :)

    I have about a gazillion non-scale victories I'm very proud of, but here are some:
    - I can now buy bras from most clothing stores in this damn little town (stores here usually have sizes 70A-85D). It's now easier to find bras and they are cheaper than those from underwear stores. (I've gone from H to D.)
    - I can do several military push-ups. Last autumn I could hardly do any "girly" push-ups.
    - I don't sweat every time I move a little bit.
    - I can easily squat more than I weigh.
    - I can bench press more than 50kg.
    - My asthma is not as bad as it used to be (knock on wood).

    I'm in a different boat to most - not looking to loose "weight" as such, but a few of Mine:

    Having to buy new, Larger clothes, and NOT because of the Belly!

    Gaining 6KG and Being told I look SLIMMER!

    Being tagged as the Squat King in my Gym!

    One morning I put my belt on and it was so loose for me on the "last" hole I had to get a hammer and nail and I punched a new hole about 2.5 inches in from the last one! :smile:

    My first one is being able to fit into size 20 jeans and being able to buy a few pair of them at the thrift store. Second is my husband's compliments and encouragement.
