    I know I'm losing weight when my phone slides out between my thighs when I hit the breaks while in my car.

    Stopped being HOT all the time.

    Could wear pants without elastic.

    Stomach no longer jiggled during jumping jacks.

    When knees touched before thighs made contact.

    When bras no longer caused back fat rolls.

    When all my bras rode up because my band size is so much smaller--AND I realized my books were falling out of the bottoms of the sports bras!

    WAY less thigh chafing when walking. I hate that they still touch at all when my feet are a normal distance apart. (NOT together, without footwear!!!!)

    When I looked in the mirror and the first thing I noticed was my eyes...not my (formerly) big cheeks

    I knew I was losing weight when I was out for lunchtime jogging, bumped into my brother in law near his office and his jaw dropped! He hadn't seen me in 2 months!

    Classic!

    Well...

    I knew I was losing weight the morning in the shower when I couldn't figure out what was on the floor of the tub. It was MY TOES :smiley: Now I just keep them happy with bright pedicures (coral, hot pink, aqua, lilac, whatever strikes my fancy) every two weeks. Because while the weight keeps going down and the clothes keep getting smaller and I can fit in some of my old stuff again, nothing makes me as happy as wiggling my bright toes at myself! My inner child is still alive and quite well apparently :p

    Hilarious! At least you didn't try to step on them!

    Awesome! :smiley:

    I knew I am getting healthier when I start getting restless if I miss my workout!

    I'm sorry but this made me laugh out loud because I can identify. It didn't actually happen to me but it was close a few times.

    I knew I was losing weight when I had to keep hitching my shorts up every few yards. In a way it was a good sign but it became incredibly annoying. Now my smaller shorts are starting to feel loose...
    I knew I was losing weight when I noticed how prominent my rib cage is when I'm lying down.
    I knew I was losing weight when I suddenly started feeling my collar bone again.

    I knew I was loosing weight when I had to make holes on the XXL belt! I still use it to keep me motivated. It's a little ghetto I know but I love to see where I was two years ago and where I am today! I hope to keep adding holes to it! :p;)

    I knew I was losing weight when everyone started asking me what I was doing because I was disappearing :-)
    I knew I was losing weight because I had to dig through my closet (along with my friend's LOL) for smaller clothes
    I knew I was getting stronger because I can lift more and actually run now
    I knew I made a lifestyle change since I have kept this up for about a year and I don't really get off track anymore (If I do I don't freak out anymore either)

    I have a ways to go but this is a great thread to keep everyone motivated on the little things!!!

    I knew I was losing weight when I first saw my collar bone.

    I knew I was getting closer to my goal when I started seeing my abs pop through.

    I knew I was getting fit when I started running longer and faster.

    I knew I was losing weight when my class ring from high school wouldn't stay on my ring finger anymore.

    I knew I was losing weight when I asked my daughter who was in the picture with her. It was me.

    Okay so this isn't the cleanest scenerio but I knew I was losing weight when I became "easier to throw around" during sex. The hubby said so. :wink:

    Absolutely love this. Cracked me up. :)

    My first "aha" moment was when I didn't have to perform acrobatics when I was taking care of the downtown. Oh and when I discovered that I had actual arm pits, instead of fat slopes.

    I knew I was losing weight when I gave my fiance a "koala hug" and he didn't want to put me down! :)

    (a koala hug is when you jump up on someone and wrap your legs around them while hugging)

    1) When my face started slimming my eyes and lips seemed to become bigger and bigger.
    2) I don't think I'd ever seen my collarbones until last July. We are now well aquainted, lol.
    3) I reversed the fat rolls that were developing around my elbows(!!!!!). I am happy to report that not only are they gone, but my arms now meet my standard for sleeveless clothing for the first time since I was in high school.
    4) When it became easier to move naturally!
    5) When I could leave a boy tripping all over himself on the first date.

    I knew I had lost a lot of weight the first time I understood why women complain about shaving their arm pits and knees. It is way harder without the chub filling in the gaps.
    I knew I was losing weight when I lit the sleeves of my robe on fire because it was hanging so low on my arm I didn't notice it was in the flames.
    I knew I was losing weight the first time I panicked thinking I had forgot to buckle my seatbelt because I didn't feel it cutting into me.

    I knew I had lost weight, when I started taking my jeans off & pulling them on without unbuttoning them :-)

    I knew I was losing weight, when people wouldn't stop commenting about me being crazy, looking like a Dachau survivor etc. Now they finally ran out of bad puns..
