For me, my happiest, proudest, best feeling of accomplishment was buying my 1st bikini in my adult life last week. :)))

5'11", and 26 lbs of baby weight GONE!. Leaving for vacation next week and finally finally FINALLY feel confident enough to wear a bikini.

now THAT'S a wonderful feeling ! :D

what's your proudest moment?

    Congratulations, you look so skinny!! :happy:

    Mine would be that today I am wearing a pair of jeans that I haven't been able to wear for 3 1/2 years. I kept them around because I would tell myself i'd be able to get them back on some day. This morning they zipped right up without any struggle whatsoever. A proud moment for sure!

    Enjoy your vacation!

    Getting to 154.6, which meant I had gone from morbidly obese (260) to a normal BMI in just a few days shy of one year!

    Being told by my doctor that I had lost enough weight that I no longer needed blood pressure medication. Next would be when I compared pictures of me from high school and I'm thinner now. That was 25 years ago.

    I shared this on facebook a few days ago to mixed reviews.... :D

    The 5 gallon jug of water I am holding in this photo weighs about 40 lbs which represents my weight loss over the last few months. My next milestone is 60 lbs which will put me close to my goal and interestingly is how much an elephant penis weighs. Don't expect any pictures of me holding that... I'm too bashful to do nudes. ;)

    When I realized I could fit into all my small clothes that I had put away in storage, and then lately I have been feeling really proud because my small clothes are getting too big :laugh:

    Being able to fit back into all my old clothes that I haven't worn in as much as 4 years for some of them. Also, fitting into some jeans that my sister gave me and realizing they are the smallest size I have ever worn for pants :D

    Funny thing is, I'm still 15lbs up from my lowest adult weight!

    I have lost 70lbs since November and did the Spartan Race this past weekend. Might do another in September. It took me 3.5 hours, but I finished. I had to choke back the tears at the finish line... I was a spartan, after all.

    I don't know.

    50 lb mark

    25% of my original weight

    Lowest weight since 21 years old

    Emptying my entire closest and having to buy new EVERYTHING including socks

    It's really hard to decide.. once I hit 50 lbs down.. it's just been really really great one thing after another. :)

    When I got home from Russia, after magically losing 15 lbs despite subsisting entirely on beer and pasta, my boyfriend picked me up and spun me around right there in the airport, like in the movies.

    Seeing a catty girl I hadn't seen in more than a year and she looked at me and said "You lost weight and I gained weight." In a not very kind tone. Sometimes just being is the best revenge :)

    From the time I bought my wedding dress to my first official dress fitting, they had to take off 11 inches from the waist! I think I had tears in my eyes! A very proud moment.

    seeing a "normal" BMI. buttoning single-digit jeans. teaching myself to run over 3 miles (when originally i couldn't do a half-mile). it's been a great journey. :)

    So far, being able to wear shorts everywhere without feeling self conscious about my legs.
