    your "skinny" jeans are too big. :)

    This is one I'm really looking forward to.

    I have to explain this a little bit...my daughter is 10 and 5 foot 2 inches, and with that height she has a LONG torso and long legs...

    so I actually have to buy her adult women medium and (depending on the company sometimes even large) pants and shirts for the length...otherwise it looks like she's wearing crop tops and capris...

    Seriously...:grumble:

    we pay for a lot of tailoring in this house...

    now *I* am 5 foot 6 inches...and that awesome moment came when I could wear her t shirts...and her stretchy leggings...

    anything structured and tailored I can't wear because we tailored it to fit her long lean body, and I have 80 pounds yet to lose, but I will get there...

    but the untailored t shirts that hang on her, fit me beautifully (who tailors a 10 dollar t shirt? so she gets to look really baggy in them.. and I get to fit them....same with leggings, she gets to have a bit of bunching around her ankles where as I fit them)

    so *I* had that awesome moment when I was able to share my 10 years olds wardrobe...i cried....and I think she had a bit of a WTF? moment...

    LOL

    Mine was this:

    We were at a friend's house while my BF was fixing their AC. It was hot as HELL in that house! I asked my friend for some shorts to wear instead of my work clothes. I had been borrowing clothes from her for years! She hasn't really started making the changes that she needs to be more healthy. I put them on, and before I made it to the bathroom door, they were around my ankles. I put my work clothes back on, slipped into her 16 year old daughter's room and asked her if SHE had any. She pulled out 2 pair that looked rediculously small. I took them to try on, already resigned to the fact that I would have to just melt in black work pants. I peered at them, had a whole conversation about how they were not gonna fit, and to not beat myself up about it when they didn't. I closed my eyes and pulled them up, expecting to be stopped just above the knee, but I wasn't stopped. At the thigh either. Not even the butt!!! These shorts that I had just held up and had to have a "self worth" talk with myself about, fit. They actually fit! They fit well! They fit DAMN well! I was so proud! I took the other pair back to her room and she said "Damn! I haven't been able to wear those in 6 months!". I didn't say anything about it to my friend, because I didn't want her to feel bad. She already beats herself up because I am doing it and she cant find the motivation. But, I wore them to bed for a solid week, just because I could!

    you realize that the weight kit you use for upper body bi/tricep work in Jazzercise (32 lbs) is less than half the weight you used to drag around on your body.

    I looked in the mirror and realized my boobs stick out farther than my belly now.

    No more boobie-do for you!! (you know the boobie-do? "her belly sticks out more than her boobie do!" lol)
    my belly still sticks out a bit more than my boobie to but I am starting to see where the definition between my rectus abdominus and my obleques is going to be!

    That moment when you look in the mirror & realize your thighs & calves have muscles showing :):):)

    ...and when you realize you can see light between your thighs cause they're no longer rubbing together.

    This will be my greatest awesome moment when it gets here!!

    you put on that dress you've been saving for when you're smaller and its TOO BIG!

    Totally agree! I bought a dress just a couple of weeks ago at a consignment store. I wore it right away, and it fit perfectly. I have it on today, and it's very baggy. I may not be able to wear it again! Glad I didn't pay full price for it!

    I looked in the mirror and realized my boobs stick out farther than my belly now.

    This! Also, when I realized that I had lost enough weight to be the equivalent of my 2 year old daughter (35 pounds). Now I'm only 15 pounds away from "losing" my 8 year old nephew (65 pounds)!

    Too many women have agreed with my hip bone reply. Which either means I'm getting more in-tune with women or turning into one. :huh:

    Bahahahahahahaha ^^^ That's funny! Women hold a lot of fat in their hips....when we can see the hip bone we're pretty darn thrilled!

    When I could take my "tight" jeans straight out of the dryer and put them on and not have to do lunges and squats in them to stretch them out a bit and make them more roomy to wear....cuz they're already roomy if not getting too big! :flowerforyou:

    2) and getting the old "someday I'll be small enough to wear these again" clothes out of the back of the closet after YEARS of being too large for them.....and you can get them all on, zipped, buttoned and looking good!

    * when you look good in most photos taken of you
    * when you don't have a double chin
    * when you actually want full body shots
    * when your skinny clothes are WAY too big
    * when you can strut around and just know you look fabulous
    * when I can go into any store I want and know it will fit
    * when people I rarely see tell me I look great
    * when guys pay attention

    I could go on for awhile,,,, weight loss has done a world of good for me!

    Ok, here's mine. My best friend has always been the one with the rock'n curvy cute body. She wore really cute jeans to my birthday party in October that I just loved. I started this "journey" in November. I stayed at her house in February and needed to borrow some jeans. She came out with those pair. I thought "are you crazy, those won't fit me". I tried them on just to appease her. Wouldn't you know, they fit. And they fit GOOD. She gave them to me that night.

    The best part now, I can take those jeans off without unbuttoning them.

    That was an awesome moment. :happy:
