I had to share this- I think I may be getting a three pack----just kidding! last night I was getting ready for bed and in the bathroom w/o my shirt on I noticed when I sucked my stomach in- normally I see a roll- now I have 3. I know why would someone get excited about this? I think it is a sign that my abs are getting stronger and trying to show themselves. I laughed so hard and was super excited. Anyone else ever have something strange like this happen as their body changed?

weirdest thing that happened when I lost weight is my shoe size changed.0

I was leaning over with one leg up on my chair while I was tying my laces and usually my gut/frontal buttocks would spill over. I felt air and looked down and it had disappeared.
I believe Mr. Gut took my breasts hostage however, because they have also disappeared:laugh:0 -

LOL seriously? I honestly have always wondered about this.0 -
I'm losing weight in my fingers, and I don't have fat fingers to begin with =/0

I have spaces between my fingers and really bony wrists now....and I'm getting very vascular....not sure if i like that LOL0

Unfortunately, for me...I lose weight from the top down. My chest (what little I have) goes down and then my stomach and love handles then, if I make it this long, my hips and butt. Ugh. Why can't we pick where we want to lose it and pick where some of it can go?

me too, but mine are pork sausages so thank god i'm losing them...my engagement ring is way bigger than it was when he proposed lol0 -
I used to say I had a keg for a stomach (big and round)...I noticed the other day as my stomach is getting smaller, my upper abs are starting to show...I commented to my daughter that instead of a full keg, I now have a pony keg with a two pack sitting on top.0

I went to try on a strapless dress for a wedding and I noticed i suddenly have notches in my shoulders. I was like is this me?0

My shoes are loose, but the funniest thing is my earlobes are smaller! Who knew you stored fat in your earlobes?0

Yep, I experienced the stomach thing for sure. Especially when I'm bending over doing dead lifts. Another thing I noticed when my back got much smaller/flatter was that I have a slight discoloration in the middle of my lower back that I never noticed because there was a fat roll there. LOL
Hmm what else? Oh! And I noticed that when I lie down on my back in bed and lift my legs in the air, there's a "dip" or inward curve in my inner thighs that was *never* there before. I assume it's because I'm losing inner thigh fat. Sa-weet!0 -
funny - but I would love it if my fingers would shrink- I have always hated how stubby and fat they are. I am told I inherited this- I don't know if this is true-but it would be a bonus for all of the hard work:)0

my head is smaller. I know I would look thinner in my face but literally my glasses fall off my face all the time now. It is so annoying. I need a new pair of glasses.0

Me 2 I've gone from a 12 to an 8 so far with 50 left to lose thankfully I have free resizing
* edit to note talking about ring size my phone is stupid0 -
I never knew i had another muscle the other side of my quads! But now, i can see it clearly!0
