you can lay on your stomach and not worry about suffocating or back pain...

you can lay on your side and realize the stomach that use to hold you up is getting smaller......

you can wrap a towel around you and it closes......

These are some of my weight loss moments to date what are some of your moments

    The jeans that you used to hide in the back of your closet because you never had any hopes of fitting into them are now the first ones you dig out of the dryer because they are the most comfortable.

    Yes, yes I forgot about jeans.

    Especially the one's you couldn't even get a leg into and now the only problem left to conquer is to button them..

    :laugh: Exactly! I know what you mean about the towel, too! I constantly searched for bath SHEETS while I was pregnant and then more after I had my daughter. Now I won't dry off with anything else because they're the only towels that close all the way! :tongue:

    You realize that "empire" waist lines don't make you look pregnant!

    You drop a shoe size

    You rush to MFP to see the calories of EVERYTHING you eat BEFORE you eat it!

    I hope to add many more to the list!

    Your plus size belt is now too big and needs more holes.

    Your underwear starts riding up because there's no butt to hold them in place.

    I love this tread. I need more though, but it's getting too late for my brain!

    When you look down and realize that what used to be flab is turning to muscle.

    When the pants you bought to wear for the summer aren't going to make it (well they may but they will fall off when you stand up).

    This is such an amazing feeling, I have so much more energy and feel much better and know that the more I lose the better I am going to feel and look.

    you can walk up a flight of stairs without stopping every 2-3 steps to catch your breath

    YOU CAN SEE YOUR TOES without pushing your stomach out of the way :grumble: :laugh: :grumble: :laugh:
    (although I look forward to the day where the obstacle is completely gone)

    your fat clothes are now for your fat friends that refuse to change there evil ways and hate you because you did

    you start looking for the tupperaware of clothes hidden just in case you did lose the weight

    you start to feel confident about yourself and the way you feel

    You know your losing weight when all your jeans you can take on and off without unbuttoning or unzipping them. It's time to buy a belt because I have 10 more lbs to go til a shopping spree.

    You know your losing weight when while running at 5:00 a.m. you have to keep pulling up your running pants and hope and pray that noone is up and watching you. LOL

    Kudos to all of us "losers"! Keep up the great work everyone!

    Your body has an actual shape. And it's not "round".

    . . . you have to get links taken out of your watch to keep it from wriggling around all day

    . . . you need new bras cuz the girls are shrinking

    . . . the bottoms of your shorts are actually baggy instead of making your legs look like squeezed out sausages

    I LOVE this post a lot!!

    Mine are I can wrap the towel around me the whole way and even had left over.
    My size 16 jeans go on and off without buttoning or unbuttoning them,
    The size 12s I used to fit into that I refused to throw away go up over my legs and button (even though I still need to do some more work to fit comfortably into them again)
    I get up and feel like going for a walk
    I get up and plan my meals for the whole day on MFP (LOL)
    My co-workers havenoticed and mentioned my weight loss (we wear all black so that was a big one for me)
    My boyfriend tells me im the hottest thing ever (he does that anyways but Im stating to actually feel like it now)
    More to come Im sure....................................
    CONGRATS LADIES (and gentlemen)

    here's one that works for me...


    ........there's a LOT less jiggling while walking, and your thighs don't take as long to stop jiggling after you've stopped walking!

    Your wedding ring practically is about to the point you need it resized because it's almost falling off your finger :bigsmile:

    LOL this one's funny it happened last night.. you go out for a nice walk with your hubby and you have to tell him to walk fast because he's walking so slow.. and you challange him to a run to see who can run the furthest and he doesn't want to.... but you still do :laugh:

    Love this thread

    For me:

    You take a power drill to your belt to create new holes
    you can remove your pants without undoing them
    you have a bunchie waist line on your pants 'cuz your belt is so cinched up
    you wear outdated clothes 'cuz they're the one you bought 10 years ago & they now fit
    seeing yourself in the mirror while brushing your teeth doesn't gross you out anymore from all the jiggling.

    I LOVE the longer jeans one! That happened to me (I was thinking--prior to losing weight--that I had to be really tall, 'cause all my pants were getting to be high-watered!) :laugh:


    Your *kitten* (or hips) don't run into the desk when you walk by somewhat close to it!

    You could spend hours looking in the mirror just to see your shape without clothes on.

    Your underwear no longer folds over or rolls over at the top waistband.

    You get to shop in the main section of the department store; not tucked up in the "plus" department.

    Sitting in chairs with arms and not being afraid of them sticking to your hips.

    But, the towel wrapping around me every morning is my favorite!!

    After a long day of heavy eating, copious water drinking, and bloating you step on the scale, fully clothed with your heaviest shoes on and you still weigh less than your start weight.

    LOVE the bathtub tidal wave and the ones about jiggling. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
