    Seeing the number 12 in my pants.

    All joking aside, that is the best feeling ever. I've not been a size 12 in so long I don't even really remember it.

    I notice that eating right has decreased the "roundness" of my stomach. That in turn allows my pants to fit SO much more confortably! I used to avoid jeans like the plague. Now I don't mind wearing them at all.,.......and I find I smile so much easier. But I also notice a mental acuity I lacked when I was eating too many carbs and sugars. I too have a lot to lose, but am very happy over all and that is keeping me on track.

    i've only lost 20 lbs and have 70 more to go, but someone said they saw it in my chest, which makes me really happy :bigsmile:

    Don't say "only" - - 20 lbs is a great accomplishment.

    Can button up a shirt that wouldn't even button when I bought it and it's loose on me now. I fit into a smaller size now and it's awesome. Stuff that was tight is now really baggy.
    Also it's easier/quicker to shave my legs. I'm more flexible.

    And sadly my boobs are a lot smaller.

    . I can get nicer cheaper clothes
    . My engagement ring is sooo huge.
    . I'm not as hot and bothered when the sun shines.
    . My boobs went from DD to C :-(
    . I went down a shoe size and width
    . Much fitter
    . Could have surgery laprascopic instead of open :-)
    . Sure my recovery from said operation is going to be easier.

    Loose clothes was the first thing I noticed, then it was how this winter was insanely cold without my insulation, then I noticed I actually *enjoy* being outside. Congrats on your success!

    Almost all of my pencil skirts when from va va voom to frumpy. Some of my skinny jeans went from snug to almost like straight leg and baggy.

    I am down a band and up 2 cups in bras and other underwear has had to be retired because it is too big.

    I've lost 3 lbs but I've also lost an inch off my waist and 3 inches off my hips. I sleep better, I don't feel tired all the time. I have more energy and I actually feel happier. What an added bonus that I hadn't expected!

    I've only lost 14 pounds so far, but what I notice is that I don't cry like a little schoolboy when I put my socks on. Haven't used my puffer in weeks. 30 pounds to go.:wink:

    I noticed that I have probably the girliest wrists and ankles out of anyone on the planet.

    I finally understand why smaller people wear jackets when it is in the 50s-60s.
    My *kitten* hurts when sitting on things with no cushion.
    I get really tired of sitting in one place for very long.
    I pee 1000000000x more than before (that's probably just all the water)
    My nephew can actually hurt me when we play-wrestle, because he can actually get shots on bone.
    How frigging huge my hat is. It fit great a month ago. Now it's super loose.

    I don't notice anything, because I don't loose weight.

    I can tie my shoes without holding my breath and I HAVE to wear a belt with jeans that I previously had to squeeze into.

    Funny you should ask, only this weekend my wife said " you are walking more upright" so the old belly had been pulling me forward! On the downside because of this I have had a stiff back the last week or so. Maybe it's because I'm unwinding ? :huh:
