    I had to punch a new hole in the belt I use every day, two inches from the one I used to use!
    (I broke a nail doing it, but it's worth it)

    I posted some of these on another thread too but.....

    I can feel the wallet in my back pocket while I'm driving.
    When I sit in my chair at work it doesn't sink down low enough to roll under the desk unless I bounce on it a bit.
    My NEW jeans and shorts are getting loose and I plan to get some new ones again soon.
    I had my wedding ring resized and it fits without feeling like it's going to fall off now but the tightest spot is the knuckle.
    I've also noticed my heart rate recovers really quickly when I'm done exercising.

    All good things.

    I have much more will power than I thought, and exercising can be very addictive.

    I have noticed that I actually feel kinda sexy now! I feel like I want my husband to look at me naked instead of insisting that the lights be off! *giggle*

    I have noticed that things are a little easier to do such as going up the stairs, carrying my 25lb baby or playing with the dog.

    And most recently I fit into a pair of jeans that I really, really, REALLY didn't think I would fit into. Funny how your perspective of yourself stays with your 'starting' size!

    I've noticed several things: rings are too big, shoes are too big, and had to get new bras & panties. I'm actually enjoying shoping now!

    As of yesterday I found some clothes from senior year of high school and I could fit in a pair of cut-off blue jean shorts I bought for my senior trip - over 8 years ago! Totally made my day!:bigsmile:

    I wrote this in my success story, but certainly worth repeating:

    NO MORE MAN BOOBS!

    OH I want this so bad. I hate bathing suits for this one thing. I hate the skin fold where the bra stap usualy is.

    Ever since I started exercising regularly, I just feel less flabby! Hello, muscles, where have you been hiding all these years? ;)

    Things I've noticed after losing 30 lbs:

    I can bend over and tie my shoes without having to come back up for air.
    I have more cleavage because my shirts hang lower.
    When I looked down I see boobs and not my belly.
    All my shoes are too loose now, even my flip flops.
    I can actually feel that I have muscles hiding under my fat.
    I can lie on my back while exercising and not suffocate myself with my own boobs.

    Changing shoe size sounds strange, but I've heard it a couple of times now. Feet don't look like they've got fat on them. Everyone just change one size?

    I can buckle my seatbelt and not have the shoulder strap instantly jump up over my belly and choke me :laugh: It's so close sitting where it's supposed to..Oh how I look forward to that day ...

    Pants I got three months ago to celebrate losing ten pounds are now too big after losing the second ten.

    A jacket from college I thought I'd have to get rid of now fits loosely.

    I'm down from a 34x32 to a 30x32 and I can fit some 29's.

    I can do 25 handstand pushups.

    I can stretch further. Not because I'm more flexible but because there's less gut in the way.

    People describe me with a whole new vocabulary, like "slight".

    I've inspired others to sign up here and they've surpassed me. That makes me happy.

    My watch.

    It's like, overnight it went from fitting fine - not even tight - to slipping all over my arm with massive amounts of space between the strap and my wrist and skin. haha

    noticed when I was shaving this morning. When bending my knee 90 degrees my calf and thigh do not meet.

    I can now tie my t-shirt in a double knot around my waist with my sleeves while jogging on hot days. I couldn't do this before

    My compression shorts don't compress much anymore


    BTW, there are some very interesting and amusing things posted in this thread. Congrats to all of you

    Just a few of many:

    I was at the barber's the other day and sat in the seat and there was room - first time in many, many years. Same at the cinema. Can't wait to get on a plane, dare I hope I don't have to ask for an extension belt any more? ;)

    I can bend forward on the minibus that takes us to work every morning - the seatbelt was at its absolute limit at my heaviest and I was worried about needing an extension.

    I'm not out of breath when nipping to the offices upstairs.

    I noticed on the (full chari) stationary bike that peddling was a lot less painful when your knee's don't hit your gut on every rise.

    Wow! I never thought about it until I saw something about it on Good Morning America this morning...
    I DON'T snore anymore. I used to be a very heavy, every night kind of snorer. Since I've dropped the 30+ lbs, I no longer am a "window rattler".
    By all appearances, I was not a heavy person. But if you looked at my BMI, I was over-weight. Lost the weight = Lost the snoring!
