Is it crazy that I want to see my collar bones?? LOL...I can feel them with my hand but I can't see them unless I flex a little and then they pop out..lol..At first they wouldn't even do that so I am making some progress!! What is it with collar bones that us girls want them to show so bad?? lol I just want mines to always show themselves off..I am down my lowest 34 lbs so I know they are going to make the grand appearance soon...When did yours start showing or do you even remember? This is so funny but I had to post it, surely I am not the only one obsessed with wanting to see my collar bones or just one bone? lol :blushing:

& yes I put this in Success Stories because it is a success that I can feel them and couldn't before..lol Will be an even bigger success when I can see them. :)

    We all have those small victories we're waiting for. I actually don't care for my very pronounced collar bones! I feel like when I picked up my exercise, they really popped out lol. I dont remember exactly what time. But somewhere around -28ish lbs is when people started commenting. Now they're REALLY out there, and I honestly don't like it...lol

    But...yours were showing before you lost all of your weight correct?

    me too! i use my collar bones as an indicator of weight loss...especially if the scale isn't moving the way i want it to :laugh: i am no where near goal but mine are starting to show now. hopefully i will see more of them in the near future. best of luck to you!
  • That's actually the one thing I don't like about losing my weight. My collar bones stick out a lot and I just have never found that attractive on me. However, I do like the fact that I can see my hip bones!

    I never used to be able to see my collar bones at my highest weight and always wanted to be able to see them but now they jut out a lot! I can't remember at which point they started becoming prominent but it wasn't too far into my weightloss - I'd say they started showing up a bit after I lost 14 or so lbs and started becoming VERY prominent around the 20lbs+ lost mark, if that makes any sense!
  • I love this post! YES! YES! YES! Collar bones are something I notice on others...and I want mine to be showing for the whole darn world to see!! Crazy? Maybe, but I'll own it!

    As for hip bones...I can't see mine yet, but I can feel them! They are rightthere...just waiting to see the light of day!

    OMGOODNESS, I NEVER IMAGINED ANYONE ELSE FELT THIS WAY! .. When I first starting gaining weight, I would take a deep breath (if someone and I were ingaged in a face to face conversation) and hope ppl would notice that my collar bones would show if I breath deep ( like see, IM not totally FAT) ... But with 34 lbs gone, mine are starting to reappear! ... I was going to tell my husband about it just the other night but I thought he would think I was cookoo (we're newly weds, so Im trying to break out my crazy moments at a moderate rate (LOL) ... But yea, my collar bones are important to me and dangit THEY MAKE A NECKLACE look soooo much better! I am ready to get my back ... I think I will post that as a NSV as soon as they are all the way out ... Hopefully in the next 2 months !??!?!?! WISH ME LUCK!

    Oh girl, I think that everytime I pass by a mirror I'm checking different angles just to see if their more visible than before. I still have a ways to go on this journey but they are reappearing. I just think collar bones are one of those things that make us women sexy in sense.

    i never saw my collarbones until maybe at my 50+ pound loss. It freaked me out because I thought something was wrong with my skin (Again I had never EVER seen my collarbones up until this point). You'll see them eventually! Good luck to you! ^_^

    I've been thinking about my collar bones a lot lately. It's something I notice in the before/after photos people post.

    Now I look forward to seeing mine too! It's gonna be a while but eventually I'll see them!
  • LOL....tooooo funny. Ever since I gained weight, one of my jokes has been that, "I used to have collar bones". LOL I can't wait to see them again. WOOT

    I am starting to see the ribs on my chest when I lift up my arms. I don't think I have ever noticed it before.
  • I think I felt them around 30-40lbs and since then they just keep popping out even more.

    I just talked about this to my husband also!!! I can almost see mine.

    I am at 176 now and think by the time I hit 170, I should be able to see them without "flexing". I will call it a huge NSV when I can see them full time.

    I just recently realized I can finally see my collar bones too. I was starin at the mirror tryin to figure out where iv been losing weight at since its not my stomach and I realized that I'm losing it all in my neck/ chest. I can't wait for overall results, but for mow I will be happy about the little change I do see. :)

    No you are NOT crazy because I am THE SAME WAY! Im just now getting to where I can see them a tiny bit, especially if I put my hands on my hips, I can see them. Im the nerd who goes into the bathroom mirror and puts my hands on my hips just to see them, lol. I haven't seen mine in about 10 yrs!! I feel like re-introducing myself to them! ;) You are making progress so it will definitely come!
