My face looks much thinner; trousers that I had to squeeze into are now very loose;
I have much more energy;
I can wear rings that had been too tight before November 2014;
I find that I can't eat as much as I used to because my stomach has shrunk;
Today I was trying on clothes two sizes smaller than before.
Hooray!!!!
Congratulations on your success. That must feel wonderful. Hooray is right!

Awesome - shapely legs are a real confidence boost!0 -
Something that has changed is my undie size. Yesterday at work the started slipping down, and by the time I got to my destination they were as far down as they could possible go! Thank goodness I was wearing pants!0

I tried on some jeans I've had for 16 years yesterday, I've never worn them as they've always been too tight (stupid designer sizing) and I got them on. Ok, I wont be wearing them out as I had to lay on the bed to do them up and I couldn't breathe, plus they gave me the BIGGEST muffin top - BUT I GOT THEM ON! Yipppeeeee0

I'm down about 42 pounds now. When I started, all of my clothes were super tight. I only had two pairs of jeans that fit. Now those jeans literally fall off my butt. I now fit a pair of jeans I haven't fit into in 5 years. One more size down and I won't have any clothes that fit.

Ladies I can relate, I have undies and jeans in all sizes and I'm kind of glad that I'm a clothes hoarder because now that I'm on my way back down, my wardrobe is increasing. Tonight I tried on a pair of new jeans I bought too small and they fit, I cried.0

Haha, that's funny. I thought you meant jeans in general too! How fantastic to fit into a pair you couldn't before. I have a few pairs I'm waiting to get back into.0 -
Time to shop, most of my wardrobe is too big, wa hooooo!0

When I did the Fleet Feet challenge i did it with a friend. She was 20 pounds less than me. We both lost 16 pounds. I inherited 2 really cool pairs of jeans from her that are now too big for her. Size 12! Hope she buys cool size 10 i can inherit soon.
And have fun shopping!! That's so fun trying on smaller sizes!!0 -

I still laugh when I read this. It really does sound like the first EVER. I can see you going "ohhhh what is THIS??"0 -
@zacksnana it totally sounds like that, what a geek!! I have to admit, I didn't wear jeans as often when I gained weight but now it's a different story.
Today I wore a pair of pants to work that are like a legging kind of, anyways they were falling down!!! I actually do need to shop this weekend but I have to admit I'm scared that the size won't be different or they won't fit. It's so discouraging but, it has to be done. I can't wait until I'm closer to my goal, getting there. We all are 0 -

Lol if your clothes are falling down you will for sure need a smaller size. I know what you mean though. And I'm sad my favorite yoga pants do the saggy thing at my crotch but I'm afraid to try on more because smaller won't fit. Too bad we aren't all in the same town for a clothing swap! With everyone at different points in their journeys we would have a ton of clothes to trade.0 -
That would be awesome! I have to say I need new clothes but don't want to buy too much until I'm at goal. Would be lovely if we were closer, also to meet! Who knows??!!!0
