I can walk up the stairs, while on the phone, and the person on the other end doesn't ask me "What's wrong?" because I am so out of breath.

I can eat 1 of something.

I can eat 0 of something.

I haven't gone down a pant size yet, but I can pull my stretchy capris right down without unbuttoning them.

My dress pants are loose.

I can zip up an old sweatshirt I haven't been able to zip up, ever, since I've owned it.

I don't need to sleep 10 hours a night.

I don't yet look forward to it, but when I am doing it, I enjoy my exercise walks.

I have lost almost 20% of my total weight loss goal.

I am aware of what I am putting in my mouth, and think twice before making a horrible, derailing decision.

I can get off the couch without turning, supporting, lifting, groaning.

I believe that I may have stopped snoring.

I've logged in 45 days here, the longest I have ever committed to weight loss.

I would love to hear your small victories, and the things that happen in your lives daily that help you know your efforts have been successful!

I love this!!! We have alot of similar ones but here goes.
- I have this "Love Boston" hoodie I got last summer and it has always been tight and eventually got to the point I wouldn't wear it bc it rode up so much. Finally I can wear it pretty comfortably again

- My feet DO get cramps now BUT they hurt less from basic stuff. Like I used to work a 4 hour shift on my feet and be hurting (I know ridiculous) and now I don't even notice it bc I'm always on my feet:)
- I can almost keep up with my tall friends when we go walking together:)
- I don't feel as sluggish bc my diet is not so ****ty:)
-Clothes are getting looser, I have not lost a full size yet either though.

-I feel comfortable making working out a priority and enjoy getting my girlfreind, friends and family involved:)
-I am 42 days in on my fitness pal and this is MY longest time:)
- Last spring I started MFP got to a 20 lb weight loss and hopped off the wagon, this time I'm 18 lbs down already and feel like I'm just getting started

-My girlfriend has always been about 20-25 lbs lighter than me and I am almost caught "down" to her weight, so then we are going to have a household weight loss competition when we are even!!

-I CANNOT help but update ppl on my weight loss lmao even if it's 2 lbs I spread that **** like the latest news and every time I tell someone my weight loss amt I think wow just a few weeks ago I was saying how much I was down and it was like half where I am now:)

here's one that happened 2 days ago..

I had a salad at a family gathering while everyone else was eating MY FAVORITE PIZZA!! that was seriously hard to do, even though i enjoy a good salad now.. the smell of that garlic butter cheese crust was killing me!

I've been logging here since mid April. Not as long as you but for me it seems like a sure thing.
Today I tried on a size XXL Target trench coat which I bought ... in 2012 and had hoped I could lose weight in 2013 to fit it. It was very snug, I could put it on but not button it. I tried today and yes still a bit tight but I can button it!!

I can now squat down to get things out of the dryer without calling for my husband to help get me back up!

I can wear relatively smaller sizes.

I no longer feel like a whale walking next to my slim friends.Well,I still feel fat,but not whale-ish.

Not related to body,but it's much easier to save a part of my internship earnings now cause I no longer indulge in excessive consumption of junk food.

I can clean and wipe myself better "back there" when going to the bathroom.

To the fat and determined; celebrate those small victories!
