    I have only lost 12 pounds, but:

    I have gone from a size 8 to a size 4/6 (4 in shorts and skirts, 6 in pants because of thighs).
    I can, and have, run a 5k. Going to run 2 more in October.
    Have gotten a little better with portion control.
    Don't even miss major fast food restaurants!

    I've only lost 25lbs, but....

    My jeans don't squeeze my belly fat as much
    I barely recognize my thighs since they don't eat up my pants anymore
    I have experienced a runner's high and have CHASED it
    My preference for candy bars, chips and soda have changed to apples, cucumbers and water
    I can feel my new strength in crazy ways - the effort I DON'T have to use to open a heavy door, the crates of charts I can lift without struggle, the fact that I can sprint a short distance without being winded when before I could barely trot for more than a few seconds.

    Only 25 lbs my booty! I've clearly gained much more than I've lost :drinker:

    Great thread!

    I have only lost 82 lbs, but I......

    Am now a size 10 INSTEAD of a size 22!
    Can now wear Medium tops instead of 2X!
    I can feel my hip bone lying down...and standing up.
    I have muscular calves and lean thighs instead of dimples.
    I have ran a 5k and am signed up for more.

    AM A DIFFERENT PERSON!

    i have only lost 35 lbs
    but my *kitten* looks FABULOUS in the size 10 jeans instead of the 16
    my feet actually got smaller ( a whole dang size, still hard to find cute 10's ut alot easier than 11's)
    i know what my body needs to function at its best,
    i feel like i belong when i go to the gym, not like people are staring at me

    My feet got smaller too! Lost 145 pounds and dropped from a size 12 to either a 10 or sometimes even a 9.

    LIAR! Think hard. :) Something has got to be different in your life.

    I eat the same... My clothes are the same fit... and I still sleep most of the day or play video games. The only thing that has changed is I exercise a little bit more. I don't understand why I haven't lost any size in dress pants.

    Then what's with the picture in your profile, showing off a pair of jeans too big? ;) Besides, you look fabulous and happy.

    I have only lost 2 pounds, but...

    ...I can feel more muscle under the32 pounds of fat I still need to lose.

    ...I can see less cellulite.

    ...I have more endurance.

    ...I'm more committed now than I have ever been. It's a lot like when I knew I was a non-smoker...that I had quit for the last time. I know that last month was the last time I will weigh 169 pounds.

    I have only lost 21 pounds BUT...

    I can see my c-section scar
    My too small pants that I was squeezing myself into like a sausage are loose and need replaced
    I can walk over 2 miles at a brisk pace and not be completely miserable (even look forward to it)

    I have only lost 24 pounds but:

    I have already dropped one pants size.
    I can consistently walk 1.5 miles without stopping instead of .5 miles when I started.
    I take my healthy lunch and snacks to work instead of eating vending machine junk.
    I drink water instead of dozens of cans of diet coke a day.
    I feel guilty if I don't get at least 5000 steps a day.
    I walk during my lunch hour instead of sitting on my behind.
    I can reach items on the floor so much easier now!

    I have "only loss" 9 pounds but.........

    I now have to wear a belt with all of my trousers.
    The dresses that I bought that were to small are no longer too small.
    I am finally getting back to running after a 5 year hiatus and I can see that half marathon a little more clearly.
    I am not having those chocolate smothered cravings.
    I am not so completely obsessed with my weight and how I look leaving the house everyday!
