Just wondering if other have the same feeling after losing weight.

When I was at my high weight, 245lb, gaining or losing 5lb was no big deal and honestly I usually couldn't even tell!! Now, after losing 70lb, when I gain even a few pounds or even 5lb, I can TOTALLY feel it!!! I can tell by my clothes so much more with just a few pounds gained!! I can feel it in my body too, like I'm heavier. It's so weird!!!! Before, I could gain 5lb and not even notice!!

Just thought I'd share that funny tid bit....LOL

    My heaviest was 155 but i never could tell them from gaining and losing but now especially when tom comes to town and i get bloated i feel fat again and tom goes away and its like cool im back to my body lol i totally notice now that ive lost my weight!!! But i think in a way its an insintive to never get off track so your not alone :)

    I agree with you. Seems like when I gain 2-3 pounds I don't even have to step on the scale and I can tell. It is weird and like you said its like a heaviness so to speak!
