My clothes are fitting better - the shirts I wear for work don't feel as tight around my midsection.

I actually JOGGED today when I was on a field trip with the kids - I haven't felt comfortable doing that in forever (or able to do it, either).

My ring has started sliding around on my finger.

My shoes feel bigger.

Everytime I find a new proof that I am losing weight and getting healthier, I get so excited!

1) My size 18 (UK) dress is so loose on me now and my bra is looser. Another tight fitting dress I had looks so loose on me now - its amazing.

2) I too have noticed a surge in my libido

3) I can walk up the hill towards my home much more easily now without feeling out of breath.

4) More energy

5) Excited when I see myself in a mirror instead of utterly depressed!

6) An increased motivation to do fun exercise: ie: dancing!

And finally someone mentioned they are much more comfortable in a plane seat now. Going to be on a plane in January next year and so looking fwd to the joy of feeling small in a plane seat because I hope to have lost a lot of weight by then. Its so worth it to feel good in a plane seat because it can harm your confidence and holiday mood big time! So to be free of that bad plane seat feeling is excellent ! ! !

Well, I don't own a scale, so I have to use these things to know

I can see creases on my face, when I smile(when putting on make up, I don't sit in front of the mirror smiling at myself ) that I haven't seen, in a while. I'm finding a bit of trouble grabbing my top two rolls, even sitting!

I know this may sound weird, but sometimes I try and pick up my belly but now I don't have to use my whole arms, I only have to use my hands now.

I haven't really noticed a clothes change, but I don't really own small clothing items, except one pair, which I know I can't fit into yet. I always bought clothing bigger than my size so I could hide my fat.

KayKay, no worries - I pick my belly up all the time! After 3 kiddos who were not terribly kind to my skin, I will always have a nice flap of whathaveyou unless I can afford surgery some day.

I noticed how loose my fat feels these days...it used to be rigid and hard...now its more moveable. And dare I say, soft lol.

I also feel like I am swimming in my current pants/undies. I've always been on the fit side...I can jog/sprint for a mile before I feel like I will die (hehe), but lately, I realize, the only reason I stop is because the bewbies want to run away due to increasingly enlarging bra size (or shrinking bewbie sydrome: SBS) lol.

I just can't wait to feel NORMAL again...I feel so out of place and awkward (have for a long time now).

Coconutz:

A for sure, real sign of losing weight is having to buy smaller underwear!
Keep up the good work.
