I noticed my adams apple today - for the first time in a long time.

I was able to pick something up off the floor board in my car without having to use the steering wheel for leverage.

    Always clothes for me, Old ones that I havent worn for years/months that now fit! Belts that need an extra notch used. Also when friends say, have you lost weight? Thats a great one.

    right now, it's me having to keep pulling up my pants. I've refused to go buy new clothes until I get to a size 13( im in 15/16 now). I had found about 7 pairs of size 13 jeans from when I was a senior in high school (almost 4 years ago), and most of them still had tags. So I said there is no point in buying more jeans until I get out of the 13s..
    Little did I know..I'd get quickly irritated by pulling them up all day.

    I am going shopping tonight, I'm gonna try on a few sizes, so maybe I'll be able to say I droppexd a size..we will see!!

    I was able to carry around a 20 pound bag of dog food today at walmart today while grabbing a bunch of other stuff... never would have been able to do that without just throwing the bag on the closest aisle and saying forget it before. Felt good.

    In my face. I have a picture from July and one from November, and you can really see it. That double chin is gone! ha. I have also had to put two new holes in my belt (after having to *buy* a belt!). And I'm more confident in wearing tighter clothes. I don't like the way I look, swallowed up by my clothes.

    I definitely by how my clothing fits. For the longest time I didn't even own a scale or full length mirror. I tried on a pair of last summer's jeans and no such luck yet -- it would require laying down, grappling, and perhaps some pliers -- to get them on. I will try again in 5 more weeks. :tongue:

    Also, the elastic bands in my "fat" pants aren't stretching to the max.

    Instead of going out to dinner with my friend, and consuming way to much high fat food and alcohol, I side-stepped dinner, and suggested bowling instead...that's progress of the BRAIN!!!! :noway:

    My wedding rings fit. They are a size smaller than the ring I've been wearing.

    I am more motivated to be active during the day. I clean, do laundry, cook, play with the kids. The couch no longer has my butt print in it.

    I haven't worn my "Spanx" in 3 weeks. I even forgot I had it.

    I am fitting into some older jeans. YAY!
