    Everyone's comments remind me of so many things.

    - Getting up from my chair, instead of making my DH fetch something for me.
    - Being able to step up and down the curb instead of looking for a ramp.
    - Sitting down without fearing the chair will break (big one).
    - My boss noticing first that I move quicker now at work, then me realizing that I move like a "normal" person now. (When did that happen?)
    - Taking steps (shower, wet pavement, etc.) and not worrying about losing my balance and falling.
    - Rushing to catch the shuttle (used to try to "shuffle" as "fast" as possible & end up watching as it went by).
    - Being able to stand while talking to someone, instead of looking for a chair, leaning or holding on to something.
    - Thinking about going to concerts without worrying if there is seating.
    - Walking easily between cars in a garage without having to sidle sideways to squeeze through.
    - Not fitting in my work chair because the armrests were not next to my body; followed by: fitting in my work chair because my body and arms both fit inside the armrests.
    - Not filling up the seat of an upholstered chair - not hanging over the sides of a kitchen chair.
    - Asking work to get cushions for the hard wood kitchen chairs and being called "bony butt" (with a smile).
    - People looking me in the eye now when they casually/comfortably say "Good Morning" and sound sincere.
    - Tripping and being able to catch myself and avoid falling. (Not walking as carefully = more chances to trip = no big deal.)
    - Only buying ONE airline seat ticket.
    - Being amazed at how big my car is inside, and how far away the steering wheel is from my belly.
    - Having energy to do things again.
    - My DH hugging me, saying "you're so skinny" and meaning it (nicely) even though I'm still 80 pounds overweight.
    - My MIL complimenting me on my appearance... often.
    - Walking again... Long walks, short walks, not thinking about it, just walking.
    - Looking at people's shadows and realizing mine is straight up-and-down like theirs are (just a wee bit wider).
    - Having my clothes hang straight.
    - Fitting normal shoe widths.
    - Coworker telling me to quit wearing a jacket 'cuz it's too big.
    - Realizing I look dumpy because the clothes don't fit anymore.
    - Ordering clothes a size too small and having them fit when they arrive (oops).
    - Taking up five links in my MedicAlert bracelet to keep it from falling off.

    I was riding my bicycle by my daughter's high school on the way to the gym the other day.

    There was a whole gym class walking across the street in tight formation from the football field. As I found a spot pedal between the tight formation, my daughter yells "Hi, Dad!".

    When she got home, she promptly told me how the talk of the class was how "buff" & "ripped" Chief was.

    Keep forgetting to wear a belt to work, and pants coming tenuously close to falling down . . .

    Friend told me yesterday that I look significantly slimmer.

    I was kinda embarrassed and upset when my track pants (that I got when I started working out) started sliding down my hips at the gym and the bottoms swept the floor. Then it occurred to me that I've been losing inches!! YAY!

    My fabolous NSV at this point is being able to wear L size clothes. That means that I can go to any store and find nice things. Around here only H&M and C&A carry big sizes, so buying clothes was restrictive until this weight loss.

    Person at the gym asking if I'm here to GAIN WEIGHT! Was a first, I laughed for a good 5 minutes, trying to catch my breath.

    As of this week I fit a size X-Large t-shirt. When I started, I wore a baggy size 5- X to hide my belly! (-;

    Wonderful! That such a great feeling, isn't it?

    Yes Girl! It sure is a great feeling! (-:

    As I was reading this thread it reminded me to try on some jeans.
    I just fit comfortably in my next smaller size jeans.

    This is an odd one as I have worn the same size shoe since I was about 12 years old ... you know only about 10 years ago :wink: .... anyway, I'm now consistently wearing a smaller size with my weight loss.
