When and what did you first notice when you lost weight?

Hi! I just wondered what should I look out for or notice when losing weight?
What was your first 'milestone'? How did you feel?
I've not had a 'happy jeans moment' or a 'wow! that bikini looks hot on me' moment yet.
I have notice the reduction in cellulite (yay!!) and sadly shrinking boobs :-(
My first milestone is to fit in a coat my boyfriend bought me and I've never worn as my arms were too fat for it and it's been too embarrassing to tell him I can't fit in it. I'd like to be able to get in it for our anniversary.

protruding hip bones!
I was reading in bed and felt this like hard lump on my side. I freaked out for a second. Oh! its just my hip bone haaha0 -
back fat, yay and shrinking boobs0

Being able to zip up a hoodie my sister gave me without sucking it in and feeling like the jelly in a stuffed donut!0

When all my frickin clothes started falling off. I don't see me looking thinner but my clothes speak otherwise.0

Looking at an old photo of my face side by side with my face today. It still isn't settling in.
Edit: As in, I can see it, but I don't feel it.0 -
All of my pants being baggy in the hips.0

No kidding. I don't feel any different (just healthier and less winded) mentally, but even my self judgement made me go get some non parachute clothes. The sizes are smaller now, but I'm still waiting for my brain to catch up!0 -
When I saw my jaw bone, collar bone, and my boobs went down a size.0

My feet!0

I noticed that I had adonis lines coming in just recently. Then I noticed that I could see and feel veins that I couldn't before. My clothes don't fit so well anymore also.0

no rubbing legs
less cloths ripping/wear
i like shopping more
happier.0 -
I just realized this last night, actually. My walk to get to class is up a slight hill and I'm always struggling with it. Last night i wasn't winded, but I thought it was because I wasn't really paying attention because I was on the phone, but I walked the same way tonight and it wasn't as hard as it used to be.0

my ribs...or really i should say that from my waist to my arm pits became smaller, also my face gets thinner when i lose weight (the dreaded double chin is gone is photos!).0

After about 10 pounds, I was able to wear my wedding ring again. That was a biggie for me.0

A few years ago I weighed 300+ pounds (click on the link to show all my profile photos to see one taken then--I put it out there to remind myself how far I've come!) and somewhere after losing 70 pounds I realized I couldn't wear my favorite skirt anymore without being in danger of it falling off! I bought another just like it in a smaller size and it was the first time in a long time I hadn't purchased something in a plus size. I was thrilled!
And then there was the time my husband and I went shopping and were briefly separated. He saw me, but he looked right past me because he didn't recognize me!
I've lost more than 100 pounds since then, but I still have a ways to get to to my final goal with the help of MFP.0 -
I guess - going from a size 22 to a tight-ish size 14, when I slipped the pants on I literally laughed out loud in the Old Navy dressing room. Just like a crazed loon. And when I felt like I lost enough fat in my face to get a pixie cut.0

The first milestones seem to be just fitting into smaller clothes.
Then it's seeing anatomy that has been buried under fat all those years.
The face and everything gets leaner, the fat behind the arms goes away, the waist goes down.
It takes awhile for the bikini to look good.
What I like is that the muscles finally show, and the abs.
It is totally fun. It's still work to maintain. It's been a little over a year for me but I don't mind the effort of watching my calories because I don't EVER want to go back to what I was. I have a new life. Everyone teases my husband that he has a new wife in middle age (and he didn't have to divorce and remarry), he is the envy of his friends, and that makes me happy that he could have that. He always says it's like I got a 2nd chance at youth. And many of my health problems have subsided and my chronic back pain for 15 years is completely gone. Guess carrying around a huge 60 lb back pack on my small 5'1" frame was kinda hard on my back and hip joints.0 -
Lost 10" on my waist
Lost 4" in my bra size
My hands, shoulders, and ribs do have bones... i've never seen them before
Every single piece of clothing I own is too big, even the stuff I bought 2 months a ago
But when I look in the mirror, I don't see a change,,, but the other things say more than the mirror.0 -
One day (after 3 months of starting with diet) there were no clean t-shirts so had to look to those untouched clothes that people have gifted me on past birthdays (and never went to change for bigger size) and magic, they fitted.
Would like to tell something else, but I'm realizing that particularly today, the (few) english skills I have are not working.0 -
I don't know that it was a "milestone", but 5lbs in I could tell my jeans were looser. That motivated me to keep going.0

First major thing was when my pajama pants started falling off. I always buy them on the roomy side anyway, but they never used to fall off while walking from one room to another! Also, a pair of pants I wear to work a lot are almost at the point of falling off. Gonna have to try to find something at a thrift store to tide me over since I'm FAR from done0
-
Besides the unfortunate side affect of my boobs getting smaller lol, I fit into a pair of size 7 jeans I had been determined to get back into. Saved them for like 5 years!! I was a size 11/12 when i started my diet0
-
For awhile it was difficult to sit on hard surfaces for longer periods of time because I had lost a lot of cushion in my butt. After a couple of months my body got use to it but ouch!
I also noticed people who hadn't seen me for months sometimes had a hard time recognizing me!0 -

Totally this! I bought a mini trampoline Friday to aid in workouts. I took half a dozen jumps before my workout pants literally 'fell' down around me! Glad I was home alone...but it felt great!!0 -
When my double chin slimmed down. I found out that I had a chin and a neck, and they were seperated. They weren't this huge giant piece of skin connected from my face to my chest.0
-
Bending over to tie my shoes without feeling like I was being suffocated.0
-
For me it was my belts. Started noticing that I was moving holes. My first real NSV was needing to buy a new belt. Followed closely by new pants.0
-
My elbows. They looked bonier a week or so after starting the healthy eating regime.
I was not thrilled. >.<0 -
I noticed my pants were looser and thought my face looked thinner.0
