    You have an unlimited supply of energy,
    It takes a lot of exercise before you even feel slightly fatigued
    Everything is fun, like a child
    Everything looks positive and beautiful.
    You want to talk to people, wear nice clothes, help other people reach their potential
    Colourful fruit and vegetables are appealing and make your mouth water :D

    I really realized how much weight I lost when I could no longer sit comfortably on hard surfaces because my butt was GONE. Haha. Also dropped like 3 cup sizes.

    When you go from a size 14 to an 8 and now even your 8's are a too big so you wear your teenage daughters skinny jeans till you can get to the store. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    Your joints don't hurt
    You can take the stairs without huffing and puffing at the top
    You can wear heels and walk around all day in them
    You can fit into clothes you haven't worn in years
    You have to make more holes in your belts
    Your yoga pants are too long and you have to continuously pull them up
  • No more "back boobs"
    No more bra extenders
    Work out shorts hold onto hips to stay on cause they don't touch the waist

    When you think your undies are on backwards they are so loose....yes!



    Ha! I have checked so many times. Finally I broke down and bought new undies this weekend :)

    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?

    Did you really drop a shoe size?? So exciting ... I'd love to get my big feet out of 11s and back into 10s...

    you obsessively rub your hand up and down your collarbones which you didn't know you had.

    you can cross your legs without using any hands!

    ain't that the truth

    When I stand up straight, my love handles are barely noticeable. I like to feel them, lol, and I'm sure I've gotten weird looks from rubbing my hips. xD

    You dont know how happy I was when my ring size got smaller,
    I was just in the store trying on some rings and I try a size way smaller than my usual size. I think I might of jumped up and down and screamed.

    When you can pick an item of clothing off the rack and know it'll fit without trying it on, sure enough it does.

    When your big old belly doesn't get in the way of stretching anymore.

    When you don't have to take pictures at certain angles just to look "okay"

    When you go down in shoe size.

    When you can feel your hip bones when you lay down.

    When the lady that cleans your office leaves notes asking you what your weight loss secret is.

    When the ring I already had resized smaller needs to be resized AGAIN!

    When my blood pressure became normal, my cholesterol is normal, my iron is normal, my glucose is normal, when I can look good in skinny jeans, when I gave away my size 24 clothes, when men say you have a big round nice booty...

    When you're bending down to pick something up and no longer have to hold onto a table or chair to pull yourself up. :)

    **and when you don't make that big over dramatic sound when you get off the couch.

    When you intentionally buy a size smaller shirt than you normally would expecting it to be too small and not fit over your boobs as usual but when you put it on it slides right over them! I still don't feel comfortable wearing it but at least I was able to put it on! I'm keeping it for motivation :)

    You walk up the stairs instead of yelling for the kids to "Come here" :-) And the sports bra struggle... takes less time to rearrange :-)

    When someone asks you if you've lost weight and your mother jumps in before you can respond to tell the person that you have and how you did it because she's just so proud of you!

    When you have to tuck in the back of your shirt so it doesn't look like a night shirt!

    When you dont mind taking pictures with other people!

    When you will sit in front of people instead of stand!

    When I put on my pants, which were too tight, and they bunch up around my waist.

    When I sit in my car, my assgroove in the seat feels strange because it's too big.

    When my shirts now feel like I am a kid wearing their dads' clothes.

    When family members I haven't seen in a few years were amazed when they saw me.

    When people at work ask me for fitness advice.

    When your grocery store is at the bottom of a steep hill, and carrying 40 lbs. of groceries back home doesn't even wind you anymore, and you used to get tired walking dooown the hill, totally unburdened.
  • You smile when looking at the scale. Even though my loss is relatively small atm, it's steps and for that I am happier! (also considering this my *bookmark post.)
