    I only started last wednesday but have noticed 2 things. I havnt touched any chocolate which is a pretty big deal since i used to eat so much. Also this morning i had to use a tighter hook on my bra. I know its small but I am so proud of myself.

    OMG I thought I was the only one that did this with the towel. Too funny!! Today was the first time I realized I was able to cross my legs comfortably also. How silly is that?
    Boo52, yes! I'm so ready to be able to do this!!! Good for you!

    -Running a 5k
    -Having a friend I always considered lovely and thin tell me I looked "so skinny"
    -Going out to buy some shorts for work, grabbing a size 6 and being worried they wouldn't fit, only to realize I needed a size 4
    -Being more flexible
    -Finding the courage to do what I thought was hopeless and impossible

    I have this fancy (fancier than I typically wear) shirt that I bought for a wedding last summer. It fit but was pretty snug on my hips. When I sat down, I would pull it up a little so it wouldn't rip.

    I pulled it out of the closet for a job interview this week. Not snug anymore.

    I'm keeping it and when I lose all this weight, I'm wearing it as a dress. : )



    Oh, and I got the job!

    The cashier at a gas station asked to see my drivers license when I paid with my debit card. She did a triple take because I look nothing like the picture anymore. She had asked if I lost weight (I have no idea who the person was, it was in a town about and hour from my home). Normally, I would be offended, but she just suggested that I should get a new license so people don't think I'm trying to steal someone's identity. lol

    When I started working out two months ago I could only go 15min on the elliptical at 3mph on level 1 and it was a struggle. Today I did half an hour on the elliptical at 5mph on level 3 and it was a workout but I didn't feel half dead at the end. I am so proud of that it really means more to me than any number on the scale. Being in shape and fitting my smaller clothes is why I want to lose weight, numbers are a great way to see progress but they don't mean anything!

    Buying a little black dress and looking hot in it! Also I tried on a dress that I wore in college the other day and it fit beautifully! That is after 3 kids and 14 years :)

    My hubby and I have started working out together. A few days ago my hubby asked me if I have been working out without him. I said, No. He said that I look like I'm loosing weight.

    Even though the scale is not moving I can tell a huge difference in the way my clothes fit now. Plus I no longer have to take heartburn medication anymore!

    I know this isn't exactly for me, but I've been hoping that my transition to healthy(er) eating would rub off on my husband. He used to drink about 2 12-packs of Vanilla Coke a week, if not more. Around New Year's I bought him a Camelbak so he would stop using mine. He drinks water now when he -never- did before. One of the last times we went grocery shopping, he was looking at the soda. He actually checked the nutrition facts and decided to get some canned sweet tea that is much lower in calories and sugar. :happy: Not only that, but we bought it a month ago and he's only had like 3 cans of it so far. Getting my husband to care about his health makes me happier than losing weight myself.

    1. One of my students from November didn't recognize me as I walked past them in the hall.
    2. Went to buy some new shorts for spring, fit into a 34. ( started @ 40)
    3. Coworkers saying I inspired them to do something about their weight issues.
