I have only lost 15 pounds BUT....
-I began 3 months ag
-my hips, thighs, and stomach are all noticeably thinner
-I went from not being able to get size 11 ****ies up my thighs (and busting a pair of 13's) to being able to shimmy into a pair of 11's (albeit with a muffin top).
-Anybody who has seen me recently who hasn't seen me in months comments on the fact I've lost weight

Great post!
I have "only" lost 39 pounds, but ...
I am proud that I have stayed on plan every day/week since I started in February.
I am truly optimistic and hopeful about my future.
I know I can and will stay on track and reach my goals.
My plantar fasciitis has all but disappeared.
I am down a full size in clothing.
I hardly ever experience heartburn at night anymore.
I have more energy and don't get winded as easily walking, climbing stairs, etc.
I am changing life-long habits of comforting myself with food, eating when stressed or frustrated.
I am losing this excess weight as a kindness to myself, because I deserve to live a long, full, healthy, happy, love-filled, joy-filled, prosperous life surrounded by positive people I love and who love me.0 -

I have only lost 7 lbs BUT
I am feeling so happy all the time
I have learned I can eat more and be more full with the right types of food
I am going for rice cakes as a snack instead of candy, walks instead of beers
I can actually wake up when my alarm goes off
I have more confidence and am feeling sexy all the time
And most importantly I know I am in it for the long haul this time and I will achieve my goal!
This website offers so much encouragement and inspiration. It makes my goals seem possible. And when I do start doubting, I just come to the success stories for a pick me up. (which is exactly why I came here tonight and, look, my first post and a reminder of how we should be looking at things! Love it!)0 -
I have "only lost" 35 lbs BUT
I have more energy
I have more confidence in myself
I have gone from a tight 22 to an 18
I don't deprive myself in order to keep myself on track
I get more attention because of the great confidence
I still sometimes see myself as the old person sometimes. It's in pictures where I can see my weight loss difference
I have had up and downs, but am here for the long haul.
Thank you to all my supporters and MFP!!!0 -

Bump for motivation.
I've only lost 19lbs (was 24 but then went on holiday!!! Damn)
but:
I've gone down 3 dress sizes
I'm fitter (i.e. I can run up the stairs without being all puffed out! - oh and can blow dry and straighen my hair without my arms feeling like they are about to fall off!)
Oh my latest - bought a size UK 14 dress from a 'regular' shop 2 days ago for my party and it fits (picture will be posted tomorrow or Sat)
Still have a LONG way to go.
