I am noticing many dresses, jackets, shirts are too big in the shoulders. I never would have anticipated losing girth there. Not complaining, just was surprised to see the extra fabric in the shoulders of so many garments...

    My waist. Not complaining, lol. Just didn't expect to be able to get down to 25.5" waist after 3 kids and over a decade of obesity.

    I'm envious. Mine would be lost in B-cups. I think they packed up and left town about 20 pounds ago. ::sigh::

    My back. It's weird comparing older pictures I have "back fat" and now my back is skinny/muscular which is never an area I thought about before

    BOOBS. But only because I haven't lost weight, just gotten in better shape.

    On the good side, it's a lot easier to fake boobs than to fake skinny, LOL

    My elbows. I think I've lost all 50 pounds there. They are so pointy that now I can't lean on my thighs with them without getting tiny bruises lol

    I am losing inches in all the places except where I really want to (belly). My wrists are smaller and my watch is too big. My feet and ankles are smaller. My fingers are smaller, but I have a diamond ring on that I haven't worn in years so that is a bonus. My face is smaller and that I expected. My butt is smaller but I have never had much of a butt, so that is annoying too. I guess I shouldn't really complain... In this case, size matters and smaller is better..heh.. :laugh:

    I can't believe how much thinner my fingers have gotten. My ring size has gone from a size 7 to a size 5.5. And, my boobs. They're in sad, sad shape. lol

    This, I'm a lab scientist, so I wear gloves a lot and I was surprised when I went down a size. Shoe size also was weird.

    I guess I sorta expected to shrink all over so I'm not surprised really. First place I noticed was my shoulders. My bra band fits well and cup size hasn't changed but the sraps annoyingly slip off my shoulders all day long. even on the tightest setting. need to pin them puppies untill I'm ready to go down a band size.

    My hands have gotten really thin, but I'm most surprised by my poor little boobs. They have disappeared!

    My hips & thighs since I'm a pear and when I felt my hip bones the first time, I really couldn't believe it. But of course I feel soo happy about it.

    That's one thing that I hate to lose coz it means that I need to buy a cork just to fit into my fave shoes.

    Any place where I have bones I had forgotten about....collarbone, elbows, knees, hips, RIBS and that tiny little circle bone at the bottom of my ribcage...I think I love that one the most! :)

    haha yes me too, but I must say the one little bone I wish didn't pop up was the TAILBONE, I can't even sit thru a meeting at work, a movie, anything without excrutiating pain. sucks.

    (OK that is supposed to be a quote from another poster but I messed up the quote thing...)


    Yeah, I have the slipping problem too. Just didn't notice it so much b/c I lost 2 CUP sizes. Good thing my husband's a great sport and doesn't seem to mind the little things...
