    i can almost fit back into my jeans! and my goal weight is the the same as your weight even though i am 5 8. when i took my pics after six wks even though i havent lost that much weight i can totally see a difference in my body!

    I had thought the same thing. I can't SEE my improvements but recently my bf found our starting measurements for the failed P90x experiment and I had lost a ton of inches! It was real proof staring me in the face that I couldn't explain away like I would usually try. Weight is only a number... results are what are tangible.

    Having a golf shirt that used to be snug in an XL now being long enough to cover my bum. And someone asking if I was wearing my husband's shirt by mistake.

    Easily fitting into my size 10 Levis again. I was forcing my way into them previously, but that was what started this whole weight loss thing - I didn't want to go shopping and dangit, they fit a year and a half ago! At the rate I'm going, I will have to give them away and start buying 8s or maybe I may be able to manage a 6.

    Finding that fitted shirts are actually fitting like they were intended rather than being stretched just a wee bit too much.

    Also, being able to see myself in the mirror when getting ready for a shower or whatnot and not cringe and pull in my belly because I felt so self-conscious in front of only myself.

    Being able to do 400+ situps in a row and know that I can keep going and make my goal of 1000 on New Years day.

    Surprisingly, my resting heart rate is sometimes in the 70s now. It was always in the 90s when I got this HRM, and that was only a couple of weeks ago, so things are changing fast.

    Also, I catch a glimpse of my face in the mirror and it's looking thinner already. Sad to say can't see much difference with the rest of me, but then again, I've avoided mirrors for so long now I don't really know what I look like.

    When I wrap the bath towel around after my shower it now goes all the way around - no skin peeping out where the towel comes together.

    YES!!!! A regular size towel that can now completely cover me!!!

    RHR in the 40s; as in 44-45.
    Whenever I'm sitting and I see my lap or my legs, I just don't recognize them as mine. It's nothing I EVER would have thought about... I haven't even cared about my legs, but they are so shocking to me that I think they will remain my favorite NSV.

    Had to present at an event recently and they were taking photos of all the presenters. Was dreading getting the copies...and believe me I'm no model...but I didn't have a double chin in ANY of them!

    Every time someone says "Girl you are killing it!" and "Sorry, I couldn't help but stare at your butt". Feels great!

    2. My wedding ring falling off and my watch needing to have a link taken out of it.
    3. My family on Christmas coulnd't not stop talking about how good I look!
    4. My favorite pair of Jeans no longer fitting AT ALL
    5. Doing 1 hour of exercise and barely breaking a sweat!
    6. I started wearing a 2XL shirt, and tight 18 jeans, now size 14 jeans, and my hubby bought me 2 sweatshirts I am going to have to take back that were XL that I need to exchange for a L. Yeah!

    Here are some things I have experienced differently since I have lost weight...
    When I hold up a pair of jeans or shirt and think "noway are these gonna fit" and then they do.
    Collar bones? never knew what they were til I lost weight.
    The stalls in the public restrooms seem much bigger...I can actually move in them haha! Horrible i know-but its true
    Not being totally out of breath after the first flight of stairs
    Being able to wear a belt in womens size rather than mans
    I actually have a boyfriend who is bigger than me now and can pick me up!
    My legs arent broken out in rashes all the time from where they rub together constantly-I can actually wear a skirt now!
    I freaked out the first time I could sit on the ground and wrap my arms around my legs!
