    YES!! Especially when I see a muscle flex that wasn't there before...the new muscles in my thighs continue to amaze me!

    They're pretty amazing. :flowerforyou:

    I do this too. Sometimes it surprises me when I feel "new" bones. The biggest shock for me was absently rubbing my mid to lower back and feeling weird poky things...my spine...I'm still at 173 lb so I didn't expect to ever feel that. Very weird. It also kind of freaks me out the way I can kind of feel like, my esophagus, I guess? if I have my hand on my neck and swallow. Ok, that sounds freaky. lol

    I pretty much still grab whats left of my gut and scowl at it in the mirror when getting ready for work!

    One day...you'll be gone....one day! ;)

    Good grief, this is me too. Ha!

    When I lie on my side I can feel my hip bone so I do tend to touch it (just to see if it's still there?) And of course everybody has to flex and poke at their muscles, right?

    I totally touch my belly in bed and my hip bone all the time. I play with my belly fat in a "wow look at how much less it jiggles" kind of way. I also keep touching my collar bone (I've never had visible collar bones and want them soooo bad) and, for some reason, my legs when I'm on the couch. Actually, we were watching a movie last night and I kept moving my legs to different angles to check out my calves to see if they look any thinner and then rubbing them.

    My husband just gives me the "WTF are you doing" look when he finds me doing these things.

    I intended to have a witty reply, but all I can do is sit here and giggle like a 13-year-old boy about "touching myself." Guess I'll grab a bottle of wine on my way home, since I know what my plans are...

    I stick a couple fingers between the buttons of my shirt at work and pretend I'm scratching my stomach but it turns out it isn't itchy and I am feeling the groove between my abs... like a boss.

    Sometimes I even touch myself in public. I try not to because it seems to make other people uncomfortable for some reason, but at times it's too hard to resist.

    Yup. Why not? Be careful though, if you do it too much you'll go blind.

    It's rare that I won't walk past my mirror at home and not lift my top up (if I'm alone).

    ummm....yessss, but not the same way most people here seem to. for me it's more like grabbing handfuls of human playdough skin and lamenting about how disgusting it looks and feels. sadly, nothing to be done about that.

    I started to read this- and got really excited :blushing: and then I noticed children in the profile pic and felt ashamed... but this thread title had so much to offer.

    Yep, my sides and back mostly. I've also started running my hands along my hips since I've noticed the shape of my curves changing recently. It's a lot smoother than it was before :happy:

    I love feeling my ribs and my pelvis! I can actually feel my skeleton now that I've got less padding and it's pretty neat! Oh, and I love touching my triceps and my collar bones. I love the fact that I have collar bones and my triceps are more defined. I still have a long ways to go, but it's all about loving yourself. Right?

    Yeah, I run my hand over my arms to feel my biceps and triceps and how firm they are getting, or over my pecs. Starting to do it on my shoulders too as they develop, or just grabbing around my waist and feeling the hip bone for the first time. Glad I am NOT the only one.

    I think everyone does it... no need to feel like a weirdo :) I've been flexing a lot lately...have been focusing on my arms and I can see some progress lol! but i feel on my hip bones and ribs a lot. Unfamiliar feelings for sure! Keep workin hard girl you're doing great :)

    I do the exact same thing, and since I don't measure (I wish I had. You should if you aren't yet.), it's the best way I can tell that I'm making progress. The scale is nice, but sometimes it doesn't move...and yet, I can still feel progress.

    So go on, touch your bad self! ;)

    I touch myself all the time. My shrinking waist, my shrinking chest...Everything's shrinking.

    Not weird at all! I keep realizing I now put my fingers in front of my hip bone and hook my thumb behind, feeling how sharp and shallow it is. When alone, I used to grab the roll of 3-baby belly that was still left no matter what I did, but it's starting to flatten out, so I've stopped. Lying down I rub my hipbones and sometimes my ribs, almost as if to make sure they're still there. It is weird at first, or if someone points it out, but these are the trophies we REALLY want, right?

    Absolutely! Mostly my neck, because there is one less chin! :laugh:

    I can't believe it took this many posts for someone to say it - thank you! Makes me think of Austin Powers personally!

    This made me laugh. I think it was the like a boss bit.

    I like feeling my waist!

    Yes! Because I now have hips that I don't need to search for!

    Then I tell my belly that it too will soon be gone :)

    If it's weird, I don't want to be normal. I'm only at the beginning of this journey, but my favorite right now is wrapping the fingers of my right hand around my left wrist. A big NSV will be when my fingers can touch!

    When I lay on my back, I love to rest my hands on my hip bones. And I touch my bum curve A LOT to make sure it didnt disappear since the last time I looked in the mirror!

    Oh the replies here should be fun...

    But yeah, guilty. I remember when I first started getting fit I was in the gym shower and was soaping up my chest and I was like, "Holy crap, there's muscle there!"

    After that when my V was more defined I just could not stop running my finger along it, without even thinking about it. I'd be in public and have to stop myself.

    Hashtag fitproblems.

    I can't stop running my finger along your V either.

    Oh *cough* ummmm I mean.....

    I don't think there is much of the day when I don't touch myself and also check myself out in any and all mirrors. I actually just made a status the other day about how every time I go to the bathroom I check out my booty. I mean, just in case it changed from an hour ago, ya know....:laugh:
