    I used to have really swollen ankles, especially in the evening from fluid, but I had them all day as well from previous sprains and adhesions. A doctor told me that woukd never go away. That has almost gone altogether and I never get fluid.
    My feet used to be awful and make summers really difficult as I could only wear trainers with orthotics or I could hardly walk. Sandals were a no no.
    Now I can walk for some time without agony, thanks to losing weight and concentrating on arch strengthening exercises. I used to walk flat footed, now I can walk normally. It feels great.
    Even my knee is improving which has been a problem since I was 16. I am 64 now. I do knee exercises every day.
    It is wonderful to have good mobility.:bigsmile:

    Bittersweet but I can no longer wear my wedding ring because it is too big. I will wait to resize once I am closer to my goal.

    My rings spin around my finger now! Definitely bittersweet!

    I have had this too, i had to get a new wedding ring because my original was cobalt chrome and couldnt be resized, my gold one i have now that i got 4 months ago is loose now too, i have to get it resized soon.

    I got up late today for the first time in WEEKS (that in itself is a sweet, sweet victory), and I made myself a big breakfast, with two slices of bacon, a couple of tomato slices, a handful of frozen peas, a fried egg and some onion (all for about 310 calories), and afterwards I felt SO FULL. Literally all I could do is sit here drinking water, trying to recover. About a month ago, I could have eaten twice that and still been able to eat more. Yay for shrinking tummies!

    Fit into my high school prom dress. Down a pants size and ran into my ex and he commented on how great I'm looking.

    It's not a very big one, but it felt like a big deal at the time: I had finished my lunch. Someone was cooking something in the microwave and it smelled delicious. And for the first time since I can remember or maybe ever, I appreciated the smell of food without feeling hungry. Plus, I actually recognized I was happily full, which has been something I'm working on too. Tiny victories!

    I was cleaning out and reorganizing my closet today. I found a sweater I received for Christmas 2 years ago, that I haven't been able to wear yet. I tried it on to see how much futher I had to go to fit into it. ...found out it fits me!!! I love seeing progress like this even more than seeing the number on the scale go down!!!

    Last night while watching a movie, I decided to spend the first half stepping on and off the Wii Fit board. But that's not the victory! When I was done, I sat down next to my hubby who's been telling me since I started working on my health and fitness in Februaury that he wants to do it with me, but hasn't even tried. With out a word he got right off the couch and did the same thing for the second half of the movie! I was thrilled and I hope his switch will click on just like it did for me:) I need him with me to enjoy our watching our girls grow up!

    My mother-in-law talked to me for about a half hour and didn't mention my weight loss at all, not surprising to me as it usually takes about 25 pounds for anyone to notice and I am only down about 15, but when she hugged me goodbye she definitely noticed. I got a "you are so thin!" Feels good!

    My NSV is that my husband and I ran together tonight. I NEVER thought this day would ever come. I always hated to exercise/sweat and my husband was so morbidly obese we could barely walk up our street together. We walk/jogged 2 miles together. Yeah us!!

    Donuts were brought to office and I really didn't have much trouble turning them down. They just aren't worth it and they never taste as good as my size 8 Ann Taylor slacks feel. I used to be size 22.

    These are FANTASTIC!! Thanks to everyone for posting. Such an important reminder that the number on the scale is not the only factor in our victories. If I can keep this in mind, I think I will be more successful this time. I will DEFINITELY be looking for more threads like this as time goes on! :bigsmile:

    I took the kids to the pool this afternoon, but I couldn't get in the water. My unfashionable, fat mama swim skirt is now a size or two too big. It falls right off when I climb out of the water. Since we go back to school in just a few weeks, I refuse to buy a new one, but I can't wait to see what size I am next summer. I'd love to go from the granny skirt to actual swim bottoms.

    I have fresh wild black raspberries in the fridge. You know, the kind that makes ice cream sing????? Yum.

    But. Today I didn't get my walk in and we went out for fish fry (mine was broiled, thank you)... so... I am waiting. Until tomorrow, when come hell or high water, I am having berries and ice cream.

    Maybe for breakfast.

    Got carded tonight. I thought my skin was looking better from all the water, and no make up to boot. Insert cheesy grin here. LOL
