    I have only lost 13 pounds.
    But I have also lost 13 inches in my arms-stomach-legs!
    I feel great even though I have more to lose.
    Whenever I get that sweet-tooth craving I drink a diet A&W root beer,
    I know its not grea to drink pop but oh well!

    I have only lost 36 lbs but I...

    Now wear a size 16 instead of a 24.
    Can feel proud of myself everytime I look in the mirror.
    Am the happiest I have ever been even though I am not the thinnest.
    Feel a million times stronger than I did a six months ago.
    Can play with my son without getting winded.
    Wake up every morning excited about my new lifestyle.
    Wonder, if I feel this good now, how great is it going to feel when I lose 60 more lbs and reach my goal?

    like that last part....

    I have 'only lost' 55 pounds but..

    I now have a neck (my double chin is going away)
    I wear size 20 shirts instead of 26/28.
    There is definition between my breasts and stomach, when before it looked like one giant lump
    I don't get as many boils, cysts and rashes between the flabs of my skin
    I don't have as many migraines
    I don't sweat as much
    I can go to the lake and not be terrified someone is going to see me
    I wear tank tops outside of the house. I used to be terrified of what people would think of my arms. But I don't care anymore.
    I can fit in a chair at the theater (and in November I'll find out if I can fit into a plane seat)
    I can say no to that plate of fetticini alfredo and venti frappuccino
    I bought my first pair of skinny (stretch) jeans four sizes smaller
    The other day a man stopped me to tell me I have a beautiful smile. That's never happened.
    But most of all, I'm not so afraid I am going to screw this up again.

    I have "only lost" 17 lbs, but...

    - I'm the smallest I've been in at least a year.
    - I can see my collar bones!
    - My clothes keep getting bigger and bigger (I figure I'm only a few pounds away from being able to comfortably fit into a size 14 pant, I'm a 16 now and I can pull some of my pants off without unbuttoning them).
    - I don't remember my last real binge. It's been at least 2 or 3 weeks.
    - I haven't had fast food (other than Subway and I made sure to get veggies on my sandwich) in over a week, and I've discovered that I don't really crave it lately.
    - I LOVE feeling sweaty and gross after a workout.
    -Oh! I also have less back fat and muffin toppage.

    I've kept them off, even though I really lost them in June/July!
    The pants I ripped sitting in a car in May are now a little baggy!

    It's a start. :)

    I have only lost 31 pounds but,
    I started this in April, and it's only August
    I am now a size 20 not a 22 in my bridesmaid's dresses
    I am making progress everyday
    I can walk walk 4 miles in just under an hour
    I have more money in my wallet because I don't eat as much fast food
    Or junk food
    I've learned more about good nutrition (still not expert by any means)
    I get complimented by co-workers everyday, and in turn I have inspired a few
    I'm now more interested in being happy and healthy than ever before.
    I went from a 40H in my bra size to a 38G and I'm still getting smaller. Maybe someday I won't have to spend a fortune on a bra. :-]
    I can wear a large instead of an Extra-extra larger shirt (well sometimes I wear an extra-large, depends on how much room there is for my ginormous boobs).

    I've already posted in this thread, but I thought of some more/had some NSV's

    still 128 pounds gone, never to return, EVER...

    I am now wearing my original wedding band, not one of the 3 larger sized ones that had replaced the original
    I need some of my favorite rings re-sized, because they are too big even for my thumbs!
    My old comfy shoes are literally sliding off my feet
    I no longer hate mowing my yard - I used to end up exhausted even using the riding mower, but now that it's broken, I actually look FORWARD to mowing for 3 hours with the push mower!!!!
    One of my son's teachers told me tonight that he didn't know what I have been doing to lose this weight (he's known me for many years) but that I am looking really good (He wasn't hitting on me, he's like a son to me in many ways, as he is one of my older son's best friends)

    I am 15 pounds away from my goal of 150. After 25 years of being fat, I never dreamed I'd ever have that number within reach. It's almost surreal.
