    When you don't cringe and weasel out of taking pics with anyone, even your kids and husband because you just hate how you look but now instead you readily get in those pics and even suggest taking them! That was my reason..as vain as it sounds..was to be able to and want to be in pics with my kids and husband on our vacation last month so my kids would have those memories! :) Glad I got to that point!!

    Now my next awesome moment will be looking good and feeling confident in a bikini next summer as a 40 year old woman!! :)

    my 11 year old daughter wrapped her arms around me and told me she could reach around me all the way>>>and when my husband was able to pick me up "carry over the threshold" way

    Mine is: That awesome moment when I was able to litterally jump into my boyfriend's arms and kiss him when he returned home! AND he didn't drop me!:love:

    you can go to waterpark with grandkids and not be too embarrassed in bathing suit and actually have energy to ride the rides with them. Priceless!!!!

    Two!

    1) The moment you look in the mirror and realize...YOU HAVE RIBS!!!; and
    2) The moment you look down and realize you no longer have ****ydo! (Boys will understand)

    It's freakin' awesome!!!

    P.S. Trying on a medium shirt at Dillard's and having the guy say, "Maybe a small in the custom fit would be better." I nearly kissed him. LOL (I used to wear XL!!!)

    you are completely blanked by your friends as you walk towards them on the beach. They are all looking at you but no one smiles or waves - really quite uncomfortable. Then I get closer and they are all 'OMG, we didn't recognize you, you are TINY!

    I can suck my gut in again. I haven't been able to suck in since high school! I want to actually loose it all so I don't have to, but still knowing that i can is great! Also my boobs measurements are 3 inches more than my belly!

    ... people ask you for advice on weight loss because they realise you can walk the walk.

    You're greeted by your friends saying "hello skinny" :)

    This has happened so much over the past few weeks, even had a lady argue with me whether or not I had weight loss surgery!

    I have so many. I love the changes to my body!

    When you rediscover your hip bones
    When you can sit on the floor and put running shoes on without being out of breath
    When you can hug your knees
    When you don't wobble while standing on one foot
    When you can carry more groceries into the house than your sports obsessed brother
    When strangers compliment your body instead of suggesting you 'have pretty eyes but should get healthy'
    When those same people ask you what you are doing to look so amazing
    When family members don't recognize you
    When you can jog for 5 minutes without requiring inhalers or ER visits (was a severe asthmatic)
    When walking/jogging you don't end up with heat/friction rash on the inner thighs because they don't touch anymore
    When you can run and let your mind wander to something other than breathing
    When you can climb a 2.5km hill without being exhausted afterwards

    You look at a pair of slacks in a store, think, "Those are way too small to fit me," and then see that they're your size!

    You're the most fit person in the room instead of the fattest.
