    Well first I want to say that I don't think anything about 51 pounds lost or breaking 300 is a small victory! That is an AWESOME victory and you should be proud of yourself for what you've accomplished!!

    I have a small victory - this was my first week of the Insanity workout program and I completed the workout EVERY DAY so far! This has been a busy week and the 5am mornings were tough and this morning, despite being a little slow to get around, I still got up and did it and even noticed some progress over the course of the week from Monday to this morning. So I was pretty darn stoked about that!

    Completely agree its a huge victory hun!

    My small victory happened today on the scale. My weight fluctuates by about 5-7 lbs throughout the day and I always record the higher number as my official weight, but today I got on the scale the 2nd I woke up, and weighed 239.4!!!!!!! I've NEVER seen 230 something in my adult life. NEVER! It'll be awhile before I lose enough and this becomes my official weight, but I'm super jazzed!

    Don't downplay your accomplishment! Fantastic job!

    Mine really was a small victory. I have lost 5 pounds since I joined MFP and 10 pounds since I started getting serious. Feels great!

    You should weigh yourself first thing in the morning. Thats your real weight. Your weight fluctuate depending on the weight of the food you eat and fluids you drink.

    Congrats on the 230's

    I'm wearing this spaghetti strap puke green dress (it's pretty, promise!) that ever since I bought it, I've had to suck in my gut everytime because it's unforgiving fabric that shows my "pudge". Today...I don't have to suck in!!!

    That is a huge victory, Congrats!!! I know I felt great when i hit the 200's. My small victory is that I can now fit into my husbands shirts. Sounds silly I know but I never thought I would be able to to that. Keep up the good work.

    Yours is not a small victory!! Way to go!

    Mine is quite small but gave me a little lift. I put on a shirt that’s normally very tight on my upper arms. It’s a short sleeve button up I wear under vests so I usually suffer the tightness. I grabbed it to wear one morning this week fully expecting the same discomfort in my upper arms all day from being squeezed and……..IT WAS LOOSE! I obviously lost some inches in my arms. That was a nice little small victory.

    That is AWESOME and a BIG victory! Celebrate by buying a new outifit! My heaviest was 275 and I was 226 when I started MFP. My first mini goal is to get to 199. When I hit I just might cry because I haven't been under 200 since 1994; the year I got married.

    Congratulations on your fantastic achievement :-)

    Thanks for all of the wonderful comments, everyone! I know it's not really a small victory in whole, but after being at a plateau for about a month, the 2 lb loss to get me over the hump was great! Congratulations all of your victories! :)

    Congrats I know when I hit that 299 I was pretty dang excited. 51 lbs is awesome..and I know believe me when we have ALOT to lose and a long way to go (biggest was 390lb) we often don't give ourselves credit for the little things...I still have 100lbs to go but i've lost 120 so yippi for me. And yippi for you..you're going to enjoy being below 250 and 200 and ect. Keep it up!
