    Sitting on hard surfaces is considerably less comfortable without all the *kitten* padding.

    ^So true

    Ditto!! I thought it was just me!

    Ugh! I have the hardest time orienting myself so my butt bones/tail bone doesn't hurt... Have a hard time doing roll ups too!

    Loving this thread! :)
    I noticed a lot of the same things. However, I think the one that surprised me most was when I put my hands on my hips one day & realized I could feel my hip bones.
    On a similar note, I did notice my hip bones are poking through and I can see them in the mirror. :)

    I can't see mine yet but with all of the gym workouts I've been putting in I can actually feel them!

    hmmm well my watch is smaller too. i lost 2 belt holes. my clothes are looser, and old clothes fit a little better (not where i'd wear them comfortably out and about but you know lol), and my rings feel looser as well which was the biggest surprise. i thought it was kinda random.

    oh, and when i was doing jumping jacks my pants fell right off after doing 3 hahaha.

    Here's one that I noticed at about 20 pounds lost: My *kitten* no longer unbuckles my seatbelt when I turn right! Woo-hoo!

    My arms no longer brush the sides of my body when I walk, or maybe it is the other way around? My body doesn't get in the way of my arms, when they swing, when I walk. That one was one of those out loud "HA!" events.

    Oh, just remembered another one while I was in the shower. I noticed that shaving my armpits is considerably easier without having to maneuver around all the fat folds.

    My arms used to brush against butt fat when I walked, and now they brush against hipbones!

    My tummy doesn't jiggle when I'm riding in a car anymore. It used to have "secondary animation" on it based on the bumps in the road. Actually, I secretly miss this one because it felt funny. (Teehee!)

    My head looks way bigger than it used to; my proportions seem off to me!

    My calves don't bonk together anymore when I run.

    I keep knocking my knees together when I rotate onto my side when I'm lying down. No more built-in pillow! :P

    Carrying some boxes from the car when my trousers slipped down. Standing in the middle of the street with my hands full, the neighbours certainly would have had a shock. When I got in the leather punch was put into action and more holes were added to my belt to anchor my strides to where they should have been!

    I play semi-contact flag football on the weekends. Our season started 2 weeks ago. I used to only play defense, because I didn't have the energy for offense and defense. Now, I'm playing both and not tired.

    Also, I'm thought of as a slow player. But, last weekend, I ran down someone who'd intercepted a pass. I had to chase her 50 yards. I was a little winded from sprinting after her, but I was catching up to her and wasn't exhausted by the time we got to the end zone (my teammate collapsed on the ground from exhaustion). The best part was the other team kept saying how shocked they were to see me running so fast down the field. I never used to move like that and I've been playing football for 16 years.

    The more weight I lose the more this really weird thing happens to my face. It's ...like...well, both sides of my mouth seem to be going up a lot more than they used to!!!! :)

    I was driving one day and realized I was having trouble reaching far enough to push the gas pedal very far. I have short legs anyhow but I thought it was weird. I readjusted myself in the seat and was uncomfortable. Then it hit me! I am sitting on a whole lot less "padding" than before and I'm sitting farther down in the seat, hence my legs don't reach as far! Hubby and I laughed about that one! He's teasing me about needing a booster seat--hey, I might as long as I don't have to have it strapped to my butt all the time like the fat was!

    I love finding my veins in different body parts, hands, feet, wrist, arms etc. Some that I haven't ever seen and ESP when they come out during/after a sweaty workout:-)

    Plus finding my ribs, bones, collar bones and feeling my shoes getting looser! Ahhhh heavenly feelings:-)
