    1) when I ran 20 minutes without stopping (yesterday)

    2) when I looked in the mirror and wanted to take pictures of my arms because they've gotten muscular!

    3) last night when I ran into a friend I hadn't seen in about 3 months and her jaw dropped when she saw me ;)

    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.

    When I started "swimmin' in my linen." Really. My old 4x shirt is like a robe now...or part of a bay window curtain...or almost half of a tablecloth...

    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.
  • Oh my gosh, I have a lot! But the most recent one was this morning, I was shopping for summer clothes in Forever 21, and there's this really cute top that I really liked. I was looking for a size medium but they don't have it, so I tried on the small one, and it fits! Months ago, I get frustrated when I step in to that store and nothing fits me. I almost cried in the dressing room.

    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.
