I though bringing this up would be a great motivator for all of us to stay on track and not go back to our old ways.

The things I have noticed;
Sleep- is much more comfortable. Not as terrible to sleep on my stomach.
Tieing (I know it is spelt wrong but I am having a brain fart)shoes- Much easier I am not holding my breath anymore.
My office chair is getting bigger (I take up a lot less room on it)
My favorite Chicago Bears hoodie is getting big on me.
My winter coat is getting big from last year.
My shadow isn't as big! lol
My feet got a little smaller. (Weird right?!)

Ok, your turn!

    I have clothes that feel more comfortable on me and jeans that fit me again ( I feel like I basically have a new wardrobe)! I also noticed I fit better in the waiting chairs at the doctor's office and I have tons of energy!

    I used to cringe when I would walk up to a storefront and see my reflection...not so bad anymore :)

    I'm closer to the sink when I wash the dishes now! LOL

    When I walk my dogs in the morning, my shadow is not so bad anymore!

    And when I walk by a mirror, I sometimes back up to make sure it was really me that I saw!

    All my winter clothes are too big!

    Ive got a ways to go, but I'm feeling fantastic already!

    The seatbelt in the car doesn't rub my neck raw anymore.

    I don't have to hold my breath while bending to do my own pedicure.

    The button on my pants doesn't dig when I sit, but the "back gap" is huge.

    I haven't lost much weight but I'm toning and losing inches.
    My 'big' jeans wont stay on without a belt.
    My fav old jeans fit again, almost no muffin top... just a lil more to go
    I feel more comfortable in my own clothes and going out with friends
    I'm smaller than my husband (atleast until I stop making him brownies... :devil: ):laugh:
    I don't walk around with my arms crossed infront of my stomach
    My uniforms for work are fitting better... good cause those suckers are expensive

    I have noticed sooo much :)
    i can actually run up the stairs and not be out of breath, my clothes are way too big like i have to pull them up so high or if i don't the crotch will be mid thigh on me, i have gone to the smallest hole on my belt, so much more energized, I used to always wear a sweater when I went out even if it was burning hot outside, now i can go out with just a shirt(although now its getting cold) I don't go into hiding when i see a camera, sometimes i like looking in the mirror. :)

    I love the pillow thing, which I still do BTW(bf's mom, who keeps noticing my tummy)!

    1) I today wore a sweater to work which only used to fit me in college 3 yrs ago. And received compliments for it.
    2) My clothes fit better and my jeans are atleast an inch lose at my thighs :)
    3) My calves are tighter
    4) My collar bones show now, and I can't stop feeling them
    5) I can walk long distances without so much effort
    6) i now make better food choices and have reduced mindless binging
