Getting out of the car doesn't require leverage.
I can finish grocery shopping and my knees and lower back don't hurt at all!
I can tie my shoes anywhere at anytime!
And yes, I confess. I also poke and squeeze my belly fat trying to density test and find signs of shrinkage.
i am so guilty of squeezing and flapping my overhang!!! i stare at the stretchmarks and gag!!! but its not such a big flap anymore!!
<.<
I poke and prod my belly fat too XD
And arm fat... I really poke that. I HATE my arms...
Anyway...
You know you lost weight when...
...people you haven't seen in a while notice, and comment
...suddenly you can fit into more of your jeans.
...your face starts looking like less of a balloon.
...guys start noticing you, and actually approaching you.
...you don't hate bra shopping and trying them on without wanting to cry.
the stomach poking thing I do too. It's not a flap, and its not the worst part of my body, but its definitely more grab a couple of handfuls rather than pinch an inch.
You know when you've lost weight when people notice!!! I went to a wedding and they were all commenting on it :-D imagine what'll happen when I get to goal lol.
Ok, all of your car comments made me remember:
** when I don't have to suck in or adjust my seat belt under my belly to get it to click!
Or:
** I can get off the sofa without rocking back and forth like I'm 9 months pregnant.
** I can now swim to the bottom of the pool. I cant stay down there long, but this is a feat for my buoyant self, struggling to go down when my fat wants to float like a life raft.
oooo.......... kkcurtin that's a good one, I haven't been to the bottom of the pool in years and years! I wonder what that would be like! and I am almost able to get off the sofa without rocking, down to one or two "hups"
(this is one I am dreaming of)
You know you've lost weight when........... you can ride a horse! There were horses in the parade this morning and they were so beautiful and I am just to big to ride one now, but someday I will!

when you don't have to have a sealtbelt extender to buckle up.
when your sandals aren't as tight in the straps
when you look at your face and you can actually see cheekbones
I will know I have lost weight when...( and it hasn't happened yet ) I can fit into an aircraft seat - I am SOOOOO looking forward to that!!!!! Is the most embarassing thing in the world.
But I know I have lost because the bath towel covering all my body!!!
When I can run up the stairs instead of hobbling up like an old man. Better still, going up the stairs without hobbling and not having to grab the hand rail for balance and support as if I am 50 and not almost 28.
When your pants just WONT stay on, and they were tight before.
Fitting into old shirts you got too big for
Seeing a 2something on the scale instead of a 3 something.
- when there's room for a dog to sit beside you in the big arm chair
- when you can put on your jeans without unzipping them - time for new ones
- when steamy hot weather doesn't bother you as much
~You don't have to hold your breath to tie your shoes anymore.
~You can sit comfortably in a booth in a resturant.
~When you look in the mirror and realize your double chin is only a chin and 1/4.
