Forget getting new clothes, you need new underwear.

Your ring size gets smaller.

You drop a shoe size

You no longer take up more than a seat on the train / bus / plane

Someone asks you what your secret is

You finally get off medications......

What's yours?

    haha... i just tried on my bell bottoms that have been too small since the day I bought them.. they are too big now.. which is great.. but sucks because i never got to wear them.

    I have to hold up all my pants when I walk...

    my work out pants do not stay up on their own anymore when I'm in class.

    when I go out.. guys fall over themselves to talk to me..

    My shoes are too big

    I fit into a shirt I haven't fit into in 10 years. (actually the one in my profile picture lol)

    I wore skinny jeans for the first time ever

    When you see people you haven't seen in a while and they gush over the new you..

    Push ups are doable (guess I can push up 195 pounds, but not 240???) lol

    The turbo kick class I take is now too easy.. I'm getting wrist and ankle weights soon to make it harder..

    I walk faster

    I stand up straighter

    I have better balance

    I feel amazing!!!

    Oh yes.. and the guns in my ticker?? Those are mine.. lol

    For me, I knew it when I realized I wasn't huffing and puffing after taking my dog out and walking around outside for less than ten minutes and then back up the steps to the front porch. That little bit used to completely wear me out. Now I walk her around out there for a good 20 minutes, and can go straight to the gym after to lift or do a good hour and half of cardio. It's this much better and I'm still around 250 pounds. I can't wait to see how good I feel when I get to 150!!!

    The skinny leg jeans don't fit because of calf muscles not fat!
    I had to buy a belt cause the pants fall off!
    I went in the women's section and nothing fit: had to go to regular section.

    This may sound absolutely ridiculous, but when you instinctively suck in your belly for a picture and don't feel one roll of fat folding over another - because you're down to only one big roll of fat instead of multiple ones on top of each other.

    you can tie your shoelaces without your belly getting in the way

    your butt doesn't leave a big indent on the couch cushions where you sat

    you don't have to shop in the plus size department

    your hammock in the backyard doesn't sag to the ground when you're in it

    I know exactly what you're talking about!!!

    And I want to know at what point in the journey does one sit down with no fat rolls? I'm starting to think that doesn't ever happen :wink:.

    Mine has been that my same height momma who has been the same weight for years had to stop giving me the clothes that were too big for her and start giving me the clothes that are too small for her -- glad she has a good fashion sense!

    I'm able to run/walk without getting winded

    I feel less of me jiggles when I run/walk

    I don't worry about that muffin top look when I sit down anymore

    I can wear a fitted shirt and not feel uncomfortable

    I can wear LIGHT colored bottoms because my butt/legs looks better

    When you smile at your reflection in the mirror because your proud/happy with what you see.
    When you walk with more confidence.
    When you are glad to wake every morning to strut your hard earned body you fight for everyday.

    When you can button your seat belt on the plane and then pull some excess to tighten it up ( as opposed to it being stretched all the way out)

    When you say your hungry at work and someone offers you chips. An you pass.
    When you are invited to a BBQ and you say sorry can't make it going to the gym.
    When your mom asks you to stop and pick up ice cream and you do for her and your son. Don't even think about eating it. (okay more my lactose intolerant there)
    When the first thing you do when you wake up is check MFP for updates.
