Fun thread. You know you lost weight when

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

when strangers stop and say I don't know what your doing but its working for you , I had my surgery 12\8\14 and I have lost 54.7 pounds

3 years later when you are cleaning out your closet again and you find that one pair of pants you kept to always remind you of your accomplishments! So you step into them and pull them up and let them fall off!! LOL - just because you can! keep it up everyone - staying the course works!!

When you have worn queen size pantyhose all of you're adult life and now wear a size A. Who knew they had a size A

When clothes shopping doesn't suck!

When you can actually buy clothes off the rack, and they fit without alterations.

When you tuck in your tee shirts because it looks sleeker.

Heck, when you even have the guts to wear shirts that aren't oversized tents.

I'm tellin' ya, this procedure makes a whole world of difference!!!

You get a backache from a long drive - because your fat no longer fills in that lumbar support need! I have to get one of those pillows now I guess.

You try on multiple outfits in the morning to find something presentable, but this time ruling out all the TOO LOOSE outfits instead of the too tight ones! (Yay!)

LOL - you can't make the recliner sit back upright just by leaning forward any more! I have to reach up with both arms and pull now. Too funny last night as hubby saw me trying to get up.

YESSS!!! This happened to me this morning. I buttoned up a size 16 1/2 shirt and it was too big. (I used to wear an 18.5.) So I moved it to the back of the closet and put on a 15.5. This is freakin' awesome!!!

When your co-worker tells you that you need to go buy smaller scrubs... and the ones you're wearing are the smaller scrubs you bought a month ago!

When u are sitting on the couch and all of a sudden your ring falls off!!!

I can't wait for this stuff!

While out on my walk during break time i caught sight of my reflection next to my friend (who is probably about 120ish) and i didn't want to crawl in a hole and die. In fact i felt quite proud.

Also... i now weigh LESS than my husband!!! First time in my life I weigh less than the guy I'm with.

Still very very far to go, and am a chronic slow loser, but I'm enjoying every little NSV!!

I took my son to Buckle to get a watch & the sales guy thought I was there to shop for clothes. He said so you need M tops & 27 or 28 pants right? Btw... A 27 or 28 at Buckle is nothing like a 22 at Lane Bryant! I was so happy to just be seen as me by someone who didn't know me before!! & the guy was completely correct! He is really good at his job!????

When you get your old clothes out of storage that are 4 sizes smaller (12's vs. 18's), and they not only fit.......some are too big!

Luv this page......sleeved Aug 29/15.....first time I was able to go to a "normal" cloths store and buy a large ....not XXL or xxxl or plus store XXL! !!!!...felt a rib bone...lol...got my first size 14 dress pants....not plus size 24 or stretchy 28!!!!! Luv my smaller me and luv that I'm healthier

When you don't worry about someone else parking too close to you in the parking lot for you to get into your car.

When you don't worry about someone else parking too close to you in the parking lot for you to get into your car.

As a corollary.... When you don't waste time driving around the parking lot looking for a closer space, because it's faster (and healthier) to grab a farther space and walk in. Furthermore.... When you run upstairs to get something – whenever you need it – rather than waiting until you have a bunch of reasons to climb that mountain. Okay, one more.... When you compare the weight you've lost to other heavy things -- I've lost just about 3 bags of mulch! I mean, think about that... I'd have trouble picking up two bags of mulch, let alone three. Imagine carrying three bags of mulch everywhere you go, including upstairs! Ouch!!! And freakin' YAY!!!
