    When my (used to be) super tight yoga pants fell off in the middle of a cardio work out. THANKFULLY I was at home. Bra isn't filling out as much, needed new belts and now I have quite a few shirts that actually look 'wrong' when I wear them they are too big.

    When I was at work and smilling to myself and some one walking past complimented me on my grorgeous dimples when I smiled. I don't have dimples, so I went to the loo and checked, sure enough I had awesome dimples when I smiled. My face fat was covering them :)

    My waist and boobs shrunk a lot! Plus, and this is weird, but just 5-6 pounds down a lot of people (even strangers) were telling me I was beautiful, but confidence might be part of that.

    I was breathing easier after climbing stairs to third floor apartment. That is more of a conditioning thing, but I was losing my breath a lot more easily at my peak weight, which is why it was noticeable.

    Pants sagging like a hip hopper...the last hole on the belt, and I can pull my pants off my hips easily.

    When the scale went to 141. I had been fluctuating between 142-145 for months. When it finally slipped down to 141, I knew I was losing.

    I lose weight form the top down, so the first sign of weight loss was in my face. I was on a Skype call with my father and he noticed :-)

    The signs that I noticed were that my honestly too tight size 16 pants were not only a comfortable fit, but started to get loose (especially in my thighs, they've shrunk like mad!) and require a belt. I also stopped using a bra extender because I've gone down two band sizes, my rings are starting to spin around on my fingers because they're getting too big (anyone know what it costs to resize a ring with a platinum band?) and that part of your stomach right below your boobs has really started to flatten out on me so that my chest looks a lot bigger even though I've gone down in band size!

    Signs that other people are starting to notice just came this week, a couple of people have mentioned that I've lost weight in my face and a co-worker asked me why my work polos were so big , so I tried on the old size larges in the back of my closet and not only do they fit, but I could have fit into them a couple of weeks ago!

    This is from a previous 20lb loss prior to MFP:
    When I walked up the road without a belt on and my (formerly tight) pants started shimmying down past my *kitten* and I had to hold them up (my belt at the time was a webbed belt without holes so I hadn't noticed the difference)

    I bought a new dress for a family wedding 8 weeks before the big day, and had to send it back to get a smaller size TWICE! And the matching shoe which I tried on when they arrived and then left in the box until the day, fell off all day :laugh: Ended up dancing bare foot

    the inches are coming off alot faster than the lbs. I have had to add three new holes to one of my belts. I am new to fitnesspal but have been losing on another program as well:)

    I think the first real sign was when my silicone watch started getting loose. I had an 18cm band and barely 3 months into this I had to buy a 16cm band that's now just starting to feel slightly loose. My rings were another sign. I bought a size 9 ring and had to get it sized to a 10 because my ring finger was too big and now it's loose so I'm going to have to get it sized down again.

    Clothes were the last thing I noticed but that's because a lot of my shirts were loose from age more than anything but I was going through old clothes to see what fit and what was going to a charity and stuff that back in high school was tight suddenly was comfortable or even loose. And the only time I notice a face difference is if I hold my license picture (taken back in January just before I started) next to my face and look in a mirror. I don't really look like the same person. (and since my profile pic is over a year old, you can imagine the changes)

    anyone know what it costs to resize a ring with a platinum band?

    I think they make bands you can slip onto your ring within the ring to tighten it up. I'd go to a jeweler and I bet they'll have them.

    I noticed my belt was getting longer from losing weight, and now i have one notch left on it, and my jeans were getting baggier as well. My appetite has decreased from the weight loss too.
