That my boobs finally take more room (even if slightly only) than my belly. It's nice to stand from the side in front of a mirror, and not see that stomach bulging and appearing before all the rest any more.
I already feel like I have more energy. I actually want to go outside and walk!
My clothes fit better; some are really loose while others fit like they are actually supposed to. For the first time, I have to wear a belt with most of my jeans or else they might fall down!
My face is going down, even if only a little so far. It's one of the things I am most self conscious about and seeing some reduction in my cheeks and chin is a real motivator!
Also, I just plain feel like I can do this! It's the most progress I have ever made. If I've come this far, I can accomplish my goal!
I like that I'm in the single digits again (even if barely), only need to lose 5 more pounds to stop being overweight, and almost have one chin now instead of two.
-Even though I'm 50 pounds away from my goal I feel amazing
-I'm in the best shape of my life right now
-Food is no longer a major factor in my life...no more overeating
-My jeans fit again

Wow Glitterlicious... I take it your avatar pic is you, no? Is that a current pic? You look GREAT! AND you look slim and fit already, seriously, I can't imagine you 50 pounds less, but you're the one who sees your body in reality and knows what's best for it
I have a favorite T-shirt that I had since I was thin(ner). It's one of the mid sized ones. (More fitted than a normal baggy t-shirt, but bigger than a baby T. Like hip length.) Well, it fit the way it was supposed to when I was thin, but when I got heavy, well, it became a bare midriff shirt that I would only wear around the house. I put it on today, and it actually covered my stomach. I was so happy. *^_^* I need to wear a belt more often. I get less lines from my jeans. And I actually got hit on today by a stranger. The 1st time in years. *^_^*
I just got back from vacation and i was flying alot. I LOVED that the airplane seats were not so small around my hips. I actually fit nicely on my long flight back home!!!

Congratulations! That's one of my goals. Hubby and I fly back to the states next year and I want to be comfortable on my 10+ hour flight!
What I like about me now....it's hard to think of something!
My arms fit better in the sleeves of my shirts (no more tugging them down when they ride up).
I'm actually noticing a difference when I look down my body. My tummy's starting to shrink and I can see things again...like toes!
I love that:
I can see my hip bones and definition in my abs
I have less cellulite
I comfortably wear tank tops all the time
I get compliments on being curvy in a good way cause I have a little waist
I could go on and on...
Only downside is that my boobs are a little smaller!
I have lots of real motivations for me, but one sticks out more than the rest..
After losing about 20 lbs, DB and I were in bed and he had his arms around me, and he said "You know, I can actually put my arms completely around you now." Sad as it is, he couldnt before,
Considering we have been dating 5 years, starting at my all-time high (250) I could have stayed the same and he would still love me.. but the fact that he appreciates my efforts, and enjoys them, helps me keep to it.
Other than that, I like having cheekbones. And collarbones (which stick out a LOT, rofl) And I like being able to run. Yea. The running part is a big part of it for me.
I like that I am the one that says, "Yeah, I USED to say that too. If anyone can do it I can. You just have to take it one day at a time." when people ask how I'm losing weight and what I'm doing and then they tell me how they can't.
I love that I just bought size 12 pants and wasn't ashamed as I walked to the check out if someone say the size tag.
I love how everyone commented on my cute outfit last night. I'm the one that always wears the frumpy....don't look at me....clothes.
What I like about myself.........
