    I've only lost 8 lbs, but.....

    I'm not afraid to step on the scale.
    And I'm okay with it coming off slow as long as its coming off.
    I've developed patience.

    I've only lost thirty pounds, but...:

    My bf% has dropped dramatically
    The waistline of my pants got as loose as the sleeves of my t-shirst got tight.
    I can lift a significant amount of weight in relation to my bodyweight, and I have the energy to continue to push that envelope while maintaining a caloric defecit.

    BUT the aspect of body-recomposition that I'm proud of the most is the massive amount of knowledge I gained through my (continuing) journey regardling diet/anatomy/physiology/musculature/supplementation/my own body that, before I came to the realization that a guy my age shouldn't have his own zip code, I was completely obvlivious to and ignorant of. That knowledge has been a helluva lot more helpful than 80% of the stuff on the interweb.

    Oh, my gosh-the moment I read about the "back boobs," I grabbed my back and realized-mine are mostly gone now, too! Then I laughed, because that's pretty funny.

    By the way, you all are my heroes!!

    I have only lost 5 pounds but......
    I am so much more motivated and in such a better mindset
    I am finally doing it the right way without diet pills or crash diets so it will actually stay off this time
    I have completely stopped drinking pop
    I can already see a difference from losing the 5 pounds and the bloat from the pop
    I am proud of myself because I know I am going to be so much happier and healthier for my kids
    I will actually wear my jeans this week. A week and a half ago I wouldn't put them on because they were so uncomfortable
    My very competitive husband not to be outdone has cut back a ton on the pop and is eating much healthier. I LOVE him just the way he is but for cholesterol and health reasons it will do him good to eats healthier and I want him to live forever:)

    I have only lost 3 pounds but...

    I feel better - no more heartburn, reflux or GI issues (this from going veggie as well)
    I can wear my favourite pants without the button popping on them when I sit down
    I've had to tighten my belt two notches with all my other pants
    I seem to found a way around my eating issues and feel like I have found a way of eating that I could definitely live with for the rest of my life

    I have only lost 1 pound in the past month, but...

    I have been in the gym 22 of the last 30 days.
    I have entered and become a regular of the (previously intimidating) free weights section of the gym.
    I am down 3.5 inches.
    I have stuck to a weight lifting regimen and learned the lifting basics and can lead myself in a strategic workout.

    I have only lost 116lbs, but I......

    Am now a size 3/4 INSTEAD of a size 18/20!
    Can now wear Medium/small tops instead of 2X!
    Can do 60 real manly push-ups rather then 2 or 3 girly push-ups.
    Can sit in the bath tub and not feel like there is more of me in the tub then water.
    Can see how beautiful I really am without all the fat on me.
    Most Importantly --- I have fallen in love with being myself and I have done something that so many people only want to do. I may have 15 more pounds to go, but I'm smaller now then I have ever been and I feel amazing!

    Bathtub thing mad me laugh so much, but true!

    I have only lost 41lbs, but I...

    Am at XL, not XXL
    Am a 36 waist, not a 40
    Have smaller wrists than before (need to get watch link taken out)
    Can run longer distances without stopping (5 miles+)
    Have less body pains
    Have a reason to flex in front of the mirror
    see the light at the end of the tunnel

    Have a reason to KEEP fighting everyday, I am doing this for ME and no one else, and dammit 41 lbs is pretty damn good all on my own!

    I have only lost 18 pounds, but...

    My clothes are fitting better.
    I don't really miss watching TV.
    I don't mind seeing myself naked.
    I finally have enough energy to tackle things that have been on my to-do list for more than 3 years!
    I can (and do) slip, and completely fall off the wagon, and get back on track again without having to "start over".

    Most importantly, after 3.5 months I am STILL EXCITED about losing the pounds I have left, and I'm even excited about the work I will do to get to my goal (and maintain)!

    I have more confidence.
    I feel strong and have more energy.
    I have inspired people around me.

    I have only lost 31 pounds but....

    My wedding dress needs to be taken in at least 2 sizes (the consultant who sold it to me told me not to buy it smaller because "everyone says they will lose weight and most people don't"....

    I wore shorts for the first time in public after YEARS of sweating in jeans in the florida heat.

    My face is the shape it is supposed to be; not surrounded by excess fat

    I fit into a size 12 everywhere, and it actually isn't just a fluke due to a brand running big.

    I don't need to turn to food when I'm having any issue other than hunger itself (most of the time! i work on it everyday)

    I feel so much better in my skin. 30 pounds to go, but extremely proud of the first 30 gone.
