    The moment when you realize you're doing this and succeeding. You never gave up and you're really stronger than you ever thought. There's no more "starting my diet tomorrow"...you changed and are never going back. YES!!

    ...someone called you their inspiration.
    ...you needed a whole new wardrobe.
    ...people do a double take when they see you.
    ...you like what you see in the mirror.
    ...you realize fat is not leading your life anymore.

    Great thread!

    ...you are finally able to RUN all those 5 miles for the first time!! Incredible feeling! You are feeling like a totally different person and you want the World to know what you've accomplish and what you have been working so hard for!

    The moment when you know there is no going back. You've made it this far and you know you may have hiccups again in the future, but you will be able to pick yourself up and keep motivated, keep strong, keep pushing to live the life you want to live and not fall back on old habits like you've done in the past, no matter what happens.

    The moment when people start asking YOU for advice and get excited to share progress stories with you about their fitness goals and achievements.

    The moment when you have absolutely no clothes left in the closet that fit, even from 10 years ago, because you are more fit now than you've been in your entire memory.... (Going clothing shopping next weekend!)

    The moment when you realize exercise excites you and nutrition fascinates you (I started MFP when I downloaded the app to track calories. I thought tracking calories would bore me to tears, but the more I learn about protein, carbs, fat, calories, sodium, etc the more I am completely fascinated by it).

    The moment when your goals change from "losing weight" to "being fit and healthy".

    You are shocked to see your leg muscles when you wear shorts instead of capris. Who knew those muscles were getting so defined?

    You look in the mirror and recognize the "old" you.

    Ditto, adding pants to this equation

    .... you take a dress out of the wardrobe to try on in order to see how much you still have to lose before you can wear it, and it fits perfectly
