Fun thread. You know you lost weight when

You have to get new shoes because they are to wide for the feet.

You need to tighten the straps on your sandals because they are too loose.

When I ordered new T shirts and had to go to a medium from a 4x. Go figure

When you no longer dread sitting in a booth at the restaurant!

I absolutely love reading these. I'm not there yet but will be. Congrats to you all!!!! Just amazing. So much hard work and it's paying off. Way to go!!!

Usually have to shimmy out of my pants when I was in an 18/16. Today when I undid my zipper and belt on my size 16 jeans they fell to the floor! Yay!

I think all of these comments are a ditto for me. With of course the ones pertaining to all of the fair ladies on the forum. Weightloss surgery for me was a great decision and a life saving one to boot.

When you can put your wedding ring back on! I have not worn my ring in many years cuz I was too heavy and refused to resize the ring. I was always going to lose weight! Well finally I have. Put it on for the first time today! Sooooooo happy.

My mother gave me a beautiful Diamond ring of hers for my 40th birthday four years ago. I kept meaning to get it sized but never did. Last night I was going to my safe looking for some papers and I saw the box I took a pretty ring out of the box and put it right on my finger it fits!

When you can turn on your side in bed and just let your knee fall beside your leg and there's some space in between. No more hiking your knee up to your rib cage!

I knew I was losing weight when I'd cleaned out my closet before vacation, and now that I'm back I find I again have hardly anything to wear that fits! Thank goodness for thrift stores.

I used to tuck my cell phone into the upper edge of my bra and use it on speaker while moving around - now if I do that even the slightest hint at bending over will topple it out - there's not enough of me in the bra cup to hold it in tight any more.

Next, when you choose to sit at table and chairs because the the gap between the booth and table is too far!

You know you lost weight when you go on a plane for for the first time in years you don't have to worry if the seatbelt will fitting . Plus there was so much extra space.

@mariavg I completely agree! i actually took pictures of the space between me & the belt... SUCH A GREAT feeling... I flew in Nov of 2013 and the seat belt bearly clicked - this time i flew... it was just awesome... no dreaded looks of "oh no she is sitting next to me" it was just nice to not worry about it... i just scooted into my seat... not only was the seat belt roomy... so was my seat! YAY US!!!!

When you become focused on counting calories in order to prevent further weight loss!!! First time ever in my life!

Or, making sure you cook eggs in real butter and ordering the full fat caramel frapp with whip cream because you need the extra calories.

I'm 18 lbs from my goal weight and have started tracking calories to slow the loss.

When a few months after the sleeve, a typical spring gust that used to end and dissipate when it made contact with my body, now nearly blows me of my feet and pushes me around. When this happened a few months after my sleeve, I think it was the first time the wind physically moved me since I was a teenager.
