I don't know if I am posting this where it belongs, but I thought it might be a fun thread to see our weight loss victories...

That is an awesome victory! I've noticed I don't get winded as easy and I don't have to hide in the hall a few mins after I climb stairs so people don't see how much they kicked my butt!

I've only lost 21 pounds but I dropped a pant size from 18 to 16 and although it doesn't seem possible I suffer from lower back pain, and since my weight loss it's been diminished greatly. It's not as often and it's not as severe. I wouldn't think 21 pounds could make that much of a difference but either it has or it's just a huge coincidence.

ditto on the stairs! Theres a huge staircase leading up to my gym - and just recently i've noticed I'm not as out of breath when I get to the front desk and hand them my card to check in - I can actually say "im fine thanks how are you?" without gasps of breath in between words!

What kicked me was when it was time to put the summer capri's away... my winter jeans were tight...real tight...and that is what got me going...and now they are back to fitting correctly. This is a mini-goal I had. My jeans are somewhere between a 26 and 32 and I have worn them for years...but when they got tight I knew I had to do something! Cuz this is pretty much as big as it gets for jeans.

My bedroom is upstairs, and I can run up those stairs now and NOT want to fall over on my bed right when I walk in the door...oh yeah, and I can breath while I'm doing it too. lol

What a great idea for a thread! 
I can now fit into jeans that have been "put away" for 3 years. I no longer suffer from acid reflux. I actually have a couple of outfits that I feel "cute" in. Before, no matter what I bought or wore, I always felt enormous. I can see light at the end of the tunnel!

I can kneel in my tub when I rinse the color from my hair and my knees don't kill me. I can also climb back up from that kneeling position without using every single fixture as a hand hold!!
Acid reflux gone... hunger pangs gone... also, was walking around my property a couple of days ago with a thin person and noticed he was winded as we climbed the gentle slope back up to my house... and I wasn't.
Hah!!!

The other day I had to squat down to tie my student's shoe. I was amazed at how easily I was able to stand back up.

Oh! Oh! Good idea for a thread!
3 months ago.....
I could barely run 3 miles without stopping. In fact, I couldn't. Last Saturday I just ran my first 10k (6.2 miles) race without stopping to walk!
3 months ago I was wearing size 12, now I'm a size 8.

I can walk into a store and not feel as self consious when a sales person asks me if she can help me find my size! I know that might sound a little self centered but I always wanted to lie to them, like they couldnt see how big I was... funny the way our minds work

I never THOUGHT I walked like a fat person, but I'm definitely walking differently now. A friend who hadn't seen me in a year noticed this in me as well so it's not my imagination.

I am at goal and weigh the same as three months ago, but I can count another 3 months that I haven't regained or fallen back into the trap of habitual over-eating.
