I have recently noticed............

lyla29

that my shoes are getting to big. Must be because they were stretched out to fit my HUGE, swollen feet. I also have ankles and my rings no longer fit right.

My feet have also gotten a little smaller. I couldn't wear the nice high heels that I bought last summer for my 10 year anniversary last month, and had to find another pair to go with my dress.

Today I noticed that I am no longer what I would consider a fat guy. A co-worker had commented on how much I had lost and said that he is pretty sure he weights more than I do now. I asked him how much he weights and turns out he weights 10 pounds more than I do and is a couple of inches shorter. That's when I realized....I would never consider this co-worker to be a "Fat guy" so.... being two inches taller and weighing less....I suppose that means I'm not a fat guy either. Sometimes in my mind I am still 319 lbs....It's nice when I notice that I'm not.


:drinker:

That is awesome Andrew!! You are NOT the fat guy any longer! We could all see that already!

Today someone at work made a comment that none of us in our unit were 'hot stuff" I turned to her and said " Speak for yourself missy!!" in front of my coworkers AND the boss!!

That felt gooooooood!:smokin:

I happen to have bought a good pair of leather sandels 2 weeks before I started this change. I loved the way they fit and finally had a pair of higher shoes I could feel comfortable in.

I put them on 4 weeks later and my foot slid to the front:noway:

I guess it is from all the sodium and not moving my body so the water exits!

WOot to smaller shoes :flowerforyou:

(and bras:blushing: )

While my feet are smaller, I still have to wear a size 12 (Same size as when I started) Its not that my feet havnt shrunk at all it's just that I have freaky alien feet that are as wide as the ocean. lol Damn freaky martian feet.

I've recently noticed that my arms and legs are starting to look really good and toned. Got some definition in my arms, no more chub rub, and my calves and thighs now look proportional!

My boobs are getting smaller.... along with varius other body parts

Mine Too!!! I just noticed this yesterday. I was standing up and I folded my arms and didn't feel like I was squeezing myself! :laugh:

dcrump

The slacks that influence me to diet had gotten really tight around the waist 2 weeks ago, and today I am wearing them with ease and feel much more comfortable in them.

I can actually tell that I have kneecaps.:laugh: Before there was too much fat around them.
My face is also much thinner. Sometimes I will just look in the mirror and notice how much younger I look. Sometimes I don't even recognize myself.

clothestoburn

I don't have 2 chins anymore, I have smaller boobs, and I have added more holes to my belt to make it tighter!

arewethereyet

Oh YEAH....the outline of my knee caps........I CAN see them!! Thanks!!

And the 1 chin I have now is so awesome!!

I look at myself in awe in the mirror sometimes - I have gotten smaller everywhere! I'm fitting into my much smaller shirts, and due to my legs being MUCH smaller, I don't mind wearing shorts anymore!!!

My shoulders--I can feel the muscles in them and can see that my arms are skinner!

When we were moving boxes into our new place my BF told me to leave the heavy ones at the bottom of the stairs and he would get them...I wasn't sure which ones were the heavy ones so I figured if I could pick them up they weren't that heavy so I started picking them up and taking them in....He came out while I was half way up the stairs and said "Guess you're turning into a regular he-man aren't you?" :blushing: I didn't even realize I was carrying one of the 'heavy' boxes. :bigsmile:

Sooo..today I looked at myself in the mirror, ACTUALLY looked at myself in a full length mirror...And I'm looking pretty good. I haven't felt that way for a while. But I thought maybe I was just seeing things, so I weighed myself....

I have lost ELEVEN pounds!!! I'M BUYING MYSELF FLOWERS!!! :flowerforyou: :drinker:

I have recently noticed that even though I re-upped my supply of pants-that-fit in January, they are now diminished once again, which means I have to KEEP SHOPPING for more, even though I wasn't finished finding what I needed the last time. :grumble: I literally only have 4 pairs I can pick from for my work wardrobe....

I'm getting that way too! I have only one pair of jeans and one pair of shorts that fit me, and all of my work pants are starting to look like mc hammer pants :grumble:

I totally sympathize.... I am right there with you. I have 1 pair of capris and 3 pairs of pants right now unless baggy bum capris become the in thing :laugh: . If it wasn't for my numerous skirts (which you can wear longer before they look too big) I would have a serious wardrobe issue. As it is I am running out of tops that fit and still look ok. The capris I bought as part of a reward outfit in April are already too big! Shopping trip planned for the end of the month so lets hope I can make it till then!

As frustrating as it is, it really is a good thing

My face has finally started to look thinner I am told.

Guys around my son's age (18) have been telling him, much to his embarrassement, that his mom is hot! (we need a little emoticon for hot):flowerforyou: :laugh:

My feet are getting smaller...I can comfortably wear a lot more size 10 (from 11) dress shoes and sandals than I used to!
