i have knees!

So I was sitting in the bathroom today at work and I noticed something that made me smile and made me ridiculously excited:  I have knees!!

I know what you're wondering.  Haven't I always had knees?  How can I walk around with them?

Okay.  Yes.  I've always had knees.   BUT NOW!  I can actually see some definition!  I have knees and not just fat blobs!

Can you see it??  The definition??  (It's easier to see in the left one.)  I have knees!

Also, I have elbows! (please ignore the rest of my fat arms...)

And look at these size tags in the pair of pants and shirt I bought at Goodwill last week:

The scale is still being stubborn and not moving as much as I want it to, but there are other things changing in my body.  I'm trying to change my focus from the numbers to these other indicators that I'm doing good things and I'm on the right track.
