What was you "Oh crap this exercise stuff really works" mome

lol I have had that too! It happened for me when I zipped up my jacket and it was baggy. I was like "ohh wow, they can shrink"! lol Congratulations on your results!

years ago i was doing tae bo and i went into work one morning and a co worker said... geesh you could kick my *kitten*... LOL

this go round... i am noticing my clothes fit better.. and i come around the corner & my 12 yr old says "wow mom you lookin fit!"

So the other day i was looking in the mirror and I flipped... i noticed my tummy didn't hang anymore and my boobies have gotten significantly smaller... lol

What was you "Oh crap this exercise stuff really works" moment?

I believe there is a ton of wrong information in the fitness community. I never had that moment you described. A lot of people on this forum who don't know much about how food affects biochemistry criticize my eating methods. My eating methods go against the grain big time. I eat once a day, in the evening, protein for 2 days in a row, then i load up on carbs on day 3. Yesterday I started to add more fat to my diet. I ate a big salad around 2am yesterday morning, with about 1/4 cup of olive oil. I felt full till 5pm. I went to go and eat my meal with a ton of carbs. I just felt bloated. I thought, "maybe the fat intake was too high, or i ate too many carbs, i'll see how it goes this week on my weigh in" Today when I woke up... I went to the bathroom looked in the mirror, and my clothes are fitting loser then ever. I thought to myself... "hmmm this is weird as hell, but it's working wonderful." Keep in mind i ate about 4k calories last night.

When my back fat roll was no longer there. I never even realized I had a back fat roll until it was gone. And I looked in the mirror one day and thought, holy ****, there was a ****ing fat roll on my back before! But that's attributed to the combination of good nutrition + exercise. Not just one or the other.

I wore a sleeveless shirt to work one day and ALL of my co-workers / bosses that came to talk to me that day kept staring at my toned arms!

When I noticed that the driver's seat of my car was set too back for my leg length. My first thought was "WHO has been driving my CAR!!!???" but then I realized the "who" was me. Me with a fat bohuncus. That afternoon I went shopping for smaller jeans than I'd been wearing and learned that I'd completely skipped over size 10. I went straight from 12s to 8s.

My tummy didn't hang anymore either. I'm still pot bellied, but firm. There's gotta be a six-pack under there someplace.

When I workout and feel AWESOME afterwards. Gotta love those endorphins!

Obviously, my clothes getting looser, but even more the day I was able to make it through a Biggest Loser workout DVD without having to take a break and sit down.
