    I love this thread. Brings tears to my eyes. I can relate to so many of those moments.

    When you fit into a hot red dress you haven't worn in 8 years. And as a bonus: random guys (yes! plural!) ask if you are single and would like to go out sometime.

    Your rings start falling off and you need to get them resized.

    That moment when you notice some faint definition in your abs... and it TOTALLY inspires you to keep up the good work!

    That moment when you are soaping up in the shower and you feel your arm muscles bulging out.

    DITTO THAT!!!! I'm so excited about the FAINT definition, bragging to everyone. And the guns :)

    The moment when a co-worker says "that's a great outfit, is it new" NOPE! Just can fit in it again!

    That moment when I wore the same sleeveless dress to Valentine's Day dinner as I wore to a December work holiday party and my boyfriend said-- wow, your arms are looking toned!!! Have you been becoming best friends with Jillian Michaels lately? I couldn't believe he could tell a difference without me even mentioning it!

    That moment when you realize that you are actually looking forward to that 6 am workout with Jillian Michaels and what she's saying actually motivates you to push harder. :bigsmile:

    That moment when you can run and your moobs aren't smacking you in the face.

    When your 10 year old hugs you around your waist and says, "Hey mom, I can touch both hands together real easy now"! SO you hug her even harder! :)

    That moment when you can sit on your bf's knee without having to feel the burn in your legs from trying to make yourself seem lighter than you really are (or were!) :bigsmile:

    YES!

    Okay, I haven't really lost much weight yet, but had a HUGE victory just from the bit of walking and elliptical I've been doing the past weeks:

    When carrying your sleeping 50-pound child up a flight of stairs for bedtime doesn't make you gasp for air!

    That moment when your walking and your jeans just fall off and you laughed, got teary-eyed, told your MFP friends immediately about your NSV about how your jeans just fell off, and then shed a tear of joy!

    True story! November 2011. I remember that day and I was down 23 pounds realizing I was half way to my goal weight! I had to buy more jeans because I went from a 15 to an 11 :)

    That moment when you realize you are sore all day from your morning workout and you love it.

    That moment when... I realized I'd actually lost half my body weight.

    *I have to add, the moment when I was shaving my legs in the bathtub and realized my stomach wasn't sitting in my lap anymore*

    I've had several great ones...

    That moment when you reach for the clothes you've been saving for "some day when you're skinny" and they don't fit because they are too big! :laugh:

    That moment when you find out you've inspired a friend to start her own journey.

    That moment when you discover you do actually have hip bones and ribs.

    That moment when you realize you are leaving the bar with four (yep 4!) new phone numbers from guys. :smokin:

    That moment when your best friend expresses disbelief at your willpower when it comes to not eating the kids' treats. And says she could never have that kind of stuff in the house because she would eat it all.

    That moment when you see a number on the scale you didn't dare to dream of seeing, ever.

    That moment when you realize you are wearing a size you didn't think it was humanly possible for you to ever fit in.

    ....I realised that the steering wheel no longer rubs on my tummy as I drive, and the power steering isn't affected by my tummy being jammed against it!!!!!!

    someone referred to me as "that thin girl you work with the short red hair".... aaaahhhhh, that was a great moment

    Two that stand out so far:

    I can tie my bathrobe and when I exhale it doesn't untie itself.
    I don't have a sock line at my ankles at the end of the day.

    Looking forward to many more "moments"! :)

    You need to buy all new clother (undies included) because everything looks like a circus tent.
    Are lying in bed and are concerned with a bump....and realize it's a bone.
    Waking up to work out seems natural and on a rest day you feel off all day.
    You motivate coworkers to start a biggest loser competition, beg you to join, and then beg you to quit.

    ...when you look in the mirror and actually see someone attractive staring back at you.

    You look in the mirror and suddenly realize you do not recognize that tiny face.

    That moment when your tightest pair of jeans are now shrugging off you when you put them on :)

    When I bought two pair of jeans, not the stretchy kind and they were 5 sizes smaller than the ones you couldn't get into anymore. That's when I finally realized I have lost weight!!
