We all know abut the cold- You feel cold while loosing weight.
However lately I have been noticing that I don't feel cold all the time anymore - My internal heating system seems to have kicked in - I am very near my goal and within my optimum BMI and been doing weights training. It is as if my body/heart muscles all of a sudden are learning how the heating system should work vs counting on that fat to keep it warm.
I'd hoped this would happen, but I'd not seen anybody mention that it could.
Secondly - I went through a few periods that my hips really really hurt. They are fine now but all of a sudden I noticed that my ewwalk has changed - it is straighter less wide. So I think the pain was related to my hips realigning themselves because I not longer have to walk wider becasue of my thunder thighs.27 -

- how much confidence it will actually bring, especially when strangers start treating you like royalty all of a sudden!
- Sitting (particularly in baths) and laying (particularly in beds) will become ever increasingly uncomfortable.
- how vain you will become! I can't walk past a mirror without checking how I look nowadays!
Your turn!
This and more.
- how much more energy you feel you have
- not feeling so tired when you wake up
- how you don't struggle so much to think about and deal with simple daily problems
- how much faster you can walk!
- how much further you can walk without getting a sweaty bumcrack!13 -

That's reassuring to read. I'm still the 'cold all the time' phase, but I'm also still quite a bit away from ideal weight (15-20kg to left to lose).1 -
I've seen numerous posts about people's feet size and width changing. I haven't seen this one. The arch in my foot is closer to the high side again and needs more support. When I younger/lighter I needed shoes with higher arch support, but I had to go away from those shoes as I had gained weight and gotten older. My right foot near the arch had been seriously aching and the left one was starting to as was over the last few weeks and I couldn't figure it out. I wore my old sneakers yesterday that had a generic insert (dr. scholl's something other) that I had to help with self-diagnosed plantar fasciitis and the pain in the arch went away. I hadn't put inserts into my new sneakers, because my heels weren't bothering me, but apparently the inserts had enough additional arch support to help, so in they went and no pain.13

@ladyreva78 before LCHF weight loss made me cold. This time around I a working to increase the mitochondria count and their health inside each cell. Disease followed by death seems to come only after we fail to keep our mitochondria count and health high.

You mean we need to be strong in the Force?
Oh, wait... that's something else...
Edit: @aerochic42 I finally noticed some change in my feet - not a great deal, but they must have got narrower because I can get into a pair of shoes that were much too tight for me last year!6 -

Actually we have a life Force. When our cell voltage drops from 70 mV to 50 mV we are starting to fade. At 20 millvolts cancer and other stuff turns out our lights. Some random sites found by Google.

I've been doing this to the inside of my thighs... it's very noticeable there.10 -
That it is actually possible to get blown off your feet, something that never happened when obese

that people would be able to pick me up and carry me around like a rag doll. Like if someone wanted to kidnap me, they would easily put me over their shoulder and carry me away without breaking a sweat.A bit concerning i have to admit.
Also i can feel my spine from the neck down, bone by bone.10 -
I have had to sleep with a pillow between my knees for my back, but I have now discovered if I don't sleep with my pillow legs, my knees knock together and bruise now that I have lost a lot of weight.9
