      You can get through a Zumba class and not feeling like you want to die! AND you look forward to the next class and lots of other great workouts!
      You aren't afraid to take a Zumba class, or take a walk in the woods for more than 20 minutes because you can workout for 45 minutes +

      When you think "I'm so stressed, I really need a workout" instead of "I'm so stressed, I really need a *insert food here*"
      When your skinny jeans are the only ones that fit (really loving this at the moment)
      When your hubby hugs you and his arms seem longer because your waist is so much smaller
      When your relationship with food is healthy enough to warrant eating a taco without guilt
      When you deliberately stand with your hands on your hips more often (also loving this at the moment)

      I can cross my legs, like a lady at the knees. Instead of ankle to knee - if that makes sense!

      totally makes sense and I can't wait to cross my legs knee to knee

      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

      bump!!

      When you can fit into your old jeans when you can use the belt holes you used to use when people start telling you you've lost too much weight(yet your in your healthy range lol)

      When you think "I'm so stressed, I really need a workout" instead of "I'm so stressed, I really need a *insert food here*"

      This.
      Feels weird, but so true. :)

      When the shirt I worn on 2008 fits again and it's time for new jeans

      when you go shopping for beach clothes, only to find the nice styles in your new size are all sold out because thats the "normal" size!!! I could've bought plenty in my old size, but not this size :(


      and I totally relate to the constantly feeling the collarbone and hip bone LOL

      When you need to buy new workout clothes because your yoga pants almost fell off during training (ALMOST. Phew).

      When I have to yank the belt tight - almost into the bone to hold up my pair of jeans xD

      I love this.... So inspirational!!!!!!!!!!

      Way to go everyone :)

      When you lay down on your back and could actually feel your hip bones.
      Sadly but true, when you drop a bra size :(
      When your six year old stops saying " Mom is your baby going to come out of your tummy soon"


      these are mine.... Keep them coming, love to read these, is passing the time at work

      Wait I have another one....

      When your hubby or partner goes to put their arms around you and say " Look at this, I can reach my arms right around you now" Love this one, because their always the last to notice when they see you everyday. :)

      I have to actually TRY to get the double chin look. Used to have a double chin while looking at a skyscraper. :P

      Some think I've started a drug habit.

      Yes and you realize you have hip bones again!

      Your husband starts wanting to watch you exercise ;)
      You need a new wardrobe
      You can jump without everything jiggling
      You can wear shorts again

      I just ask my co-worker can you lose weight in your feet. I feel like I have boats on today. I do not wear these shoes very often, but they have always been the right size, now I feel like I have on someone elses shoes. I did notice my belt is on the last loop today so I guess I better start looking for another one or put some extra holes in this one. :tongue:

      You can look down and see your feet.

      Your girdle doesn't roll down to your waist.

      I'm going to try on my swimsuit tonight (which I haven't worn in 2+ years)... then maybe I can check back and edit this post.
      ;-)

      You forget to take your cane to run over to the pharmacy and not only keep up with your 11 year old, your knees don't kill when you get home.

      First time in a year I haven't absolutely needed my cane to leave the house. I was actually walking faster than my son a couple of times even. Normally, I have to tell him to slow down so I can keep up. :)

      Shopping for regular-sized ladies' clothing instead of plus sizes! When your skinny (and mean) sister-in-law actually pays you a compliment on your weight loss and wants to know what your secret is. :wink:

      When your boobs are getting smaller. :(

      When you put on a large shirt and it actually looks large.
    • Posts: 33 Member
      Your girdle no longer fits (its too large).
      You no longer need a girdle.
      You no longer have to schedule mommy daughter pamper nights cause you can now paint your own toenails.
      You have to buy new underwear because the old ones are now too large (yeah, even the bras).
      Your feet have shrunk in size and width.

      You go into a store and you realise you can buy pants in any colour, even with patterns on, and not just black. I have lived in black pants for ever and had a shock when I saw some red ones and realised. - I can wear those now! !!!!

      You need to invest in a belt for the first time!

      When you walk by a mirror and have to look twice because you almost didn't recognize the person.
