Fun thread. You know you lost weight when

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

When four year old grand daughter asked you. What happened to your pregnant belly?

When you can go into penny's and buy a 44R sport coat off the rack when last suit was a 54R.

When you realize your mpg is going up due to less weight being carried in the car.

When you can wear your 24 yo daughters American Eagle clothes!

when you go to your sons class for back to school night and you fit in the kids desk that is attached to the chair without pushing yourself in and pulling of fat to fit, and you get out of it without the jaws of life lol

You have the courage to sign up for a pilates class. I was always afraid of getting down on the floor and not being able to get back up

Here! Here! I had the same fear about yoga...not anymore!

When you stop being afraid to put your jeans in the dryer.

OMG!!! I LOVE IT! I didn't realize others had this fear too!! Now I look forward to it!

When your collar bones come out of hiding

I loved this one! It just made me feel more pretty and feminine.

I WISH! I have always loved collar bones that show, but mine never do -- no, not even when I'm super thin, they don't stick out at all. I broke both of them when I was a kid, so maybe they just didn't grow the same after that. *pouts* But I love semi-fitted t-shirt tops with 3/4 sleeves and biiiiiig scoop necks -- and collar bones would look so fab with them. *pouts again*

When not only do you approach push-mowing the lawn with enthusiasm, you throw on last year's sneakers to do it and just can't lace them up tight enough and they're still sloppy on your new, cute little feet.

When you put on a pair of jeans you haven't worn in forever and can still bend at the hips and tie your shoes (without gasping for air and turning bright red!)

When four year old grand daughter asked you. What happened to your pregnant belly?

Oooohhhh Lash -can't wait for that one. Tired of people asking me how far along I am!!!

I am really enjoying hearing all these stories. I need to get new pictures for my credit cards the clerks are starting to look real hard to identify me

Guys, you will like this one. When you are in the bathroom and you look down and see your long lost member.

(no pun on long).

LMAO!!!!!!

I LOVE this thread!!!! I am literally sitting here smiling. Congrats to EVERYONE. We did it!!!

I identified with quite a few, particularly feeling my bones rub and having to put a pillow between my legs in bed.

For me I'd say:

Being complimented a TON.

Showing people a picture of the "old" me and having them say "OMG I cannot believe that is you!".

Trying on a size small and having it fit.

Thinking a size of clothing will never fit me and then finding out it does, or is even too big!

Having someone call me "thin".

You stop worrying about weight restrictions for floating objects (rafts, boats, kayaks... all of which I would have never attempted)

Your stretchy size xxl workout pants literally fall off.

Shoes don't fit anymore

You have plenty of room in an airplane seat

When visiting my sisters home with my young kids, I JUMPED on the trampoline with them instead of watching from the sidelines. What a blast!!!!

How funny, I just came back here to post the same thing about the trampoline I love being able to get on there with my kids and not being worried about the weight restrictions or getting too tired in a matter of minutes.

Also, when you actually default to going into the "normal" stall in the public bathroom instead of the handicap stall.

OMG - So True!! I have caught myself doing this already.
