    I might be imagining it, but it seems like the veins in my arms and legs, and especially in my hands and feet, are more visible. Anyone else experience this?

    Yes I'm getting that too. One thing that my wife doesn't like about my weight loss.

    Oh yes. I love it. Especially when I'm lifting, I can see veins that run all the way from my hands up to my shoulders. Makes me feel super hardcore.

    I tucked in my shirt today, and it actually looks better than untucked!! It feels kind of strange to have it tucked in, but I've received compliments on it, so tucked it shall stay!

    Because I'm short-waisted (seriously short-waisted!), now that I actually have a bit of slimming in that tiny swath of self between "bust" and "hips", I find that a sheath dress actually looks good on me, and better than a dress with a waist.

    Results being almost instantaneously. I already notice my stomach, legs, and even arm/arm pits are slimming down.

    Seatbelt isn't constantly choking you because it can't fit properly between your bewbs. It's getting better. Teehee.

    I went for a bra fitting recently. In total I have gone down many inches and cup sizes. I've always bought MAX SUPPORT. Now that I got measured as fairly "average" I asked the lady what style she would recommend. She replied "any". ANY??? That's amazing. So much choice. So many pretty styles and patterns. I still find it incredible.

    @woodybush I found a tolerable position when the upper-leg's knee rests on the bottom-leg's calf and the calf bone crosses the lower-leg's foot right by the ankle - You have to fiddle with the right angles, but it'll click after a while :smile:

    I realized the other day that I'm no longer afraid -- when I go out walking in the neighborhood -- that someone will yell something rude at me. Now I smile at people and they smile at me. I have lost 25 lbs since March -- feel like I am a "more normal overweight" for my height (still "obese", but only 20+ lbs to go till "overweight")

    Oh that I know. When you loose the weight then fat-shaming and normal sized people calling you names based on your weight is no longer an option.
    (I've just started my journey but I can't wait to feel as though no one is judging me. I also am looking forward to not being so self conscious and actually buying a bathing suit and sitting at the pool.)

    I never noticed that my elbows had fat on them before but they must have because they are so bony and pointy now whereas before they were rounded.

    Maybe not so unexpected but my boobs are now nonexistent much to the horror of my husband!

    Haha, I tell my husband he has a choice between boobs and butt. I can have a nice butt and small boobs, or bigger boobs and a bigger butt (and everything else too...). You can't have it both ways!!!

    You ladies are lucky! My husband is worried about the loss of "his" boobs and really doesn't mind the extra bits elsewhere.....leading to lots of food pushing! =P

    On another note, awesome thread! I love reading it. :smile:

    I bought some girlie shoes today. It never occurred to me I could go from wearing only wide shoes to being able to wear normal width, but I have!

    The ankle bone's connected to the...Oh, that's something else.

    I can't get over how skinny my arms look and how prominent my collar bone is now. Also, that I'm only 13ish lbs above a 'normal' BMI and still wearing size 14 pants.

    [*] No more chub rub! No more raw thighs!
    [*] No more cracked heels!

    No more chub rub is one of my big motivators. No more cracked heels though? I've never heard that, but it makes sense (less weight on feet?) and would also be great!

    Quite a bit more visible, especially the legs.
