Most annoying NSVs..

Fighting4Healthy

This Topic is the most fun ever. Armpits - check, Tiny Tata's - check. However my real annoyance lately has been the uninvited "Oh, you're still losing weight? Shouldn't you stop now? You don't want to get too thin." <- this cookie still has plenty of body fat % to go. Thanks for the concern. But I am enjoying my bottom being sore when I sit. Keeps reminding me to keep going.

Yep....I agree... are your friends trying to feed you bad food.... mine are :noway:

THE BAD FOOD!!! yes! You can have a cookie, it's just one cookie. Well yes, I could have a cookie, and some days I very well may, but not every day and not every time you're eating one!

I lost 30 lbs before starting with MFP a couple of weeks ago.

Not quite boob shrinkage - my back size went down and my cup size went up by 2, it's almost impossible to buy bras in my size anyway in the UK and now I need all new ones.

Feeling cold a lot more plus calorie restrictions meaning I don't warm up by eating. I've still got 30 lbs to go so I am dreading next winter if I've managed that by then.

Being between sizes and that horrid part where you don't want to spend a lot of money on what you hope will be a transition clothes size.

1. Mine grew as well, and I thought it was WEIRD. I am so glad that I'm not the only one, and very glad you posted first. :P It's annoying that this size is way popular at VS; I go to dig through the bra drawers, and this size is EMPTY. :grumble:

2. I'm not sure if the cold is more from the weight loss or my anemia, but the latter is definitely coming back now that I'm losing the weight. I get shots because eating iron-rich doesn't work for me, so I wonder if the extra pounds just held onto it easier than now.

3. Def between sizes, and between brands even. I'm somewhere between 6-10 depending on where I am. I'd be a low 8 in most places (M), but then there's the ones where I'm still a 10 because of my hips and a 6 in others because of my waist. Referring back to comment #1... shirt shopping is a bit disappointing.

Knobby Knees - I have to arrange my legs funny when sleeping so my knees arent on top of each other and hurting me!

So glad you said this! Once I get under a certain weight, and it is literally like a 3 pound difference that I notice it, my elbows and knees just always seem to bump around and feel uncomfortable. My elbows are always getting hit on tables and my desk, and I have to sleep with the blanket or a pillow between my knees.

The upside to being overweight was I actually had boobs, now that I am losing the weight i am losing my boobs again. I am going to fix that before I am thirty! I'll buy a pair that doesn't shrink! Also, I get cold easier. I've lost my extra insulation! But I'd rather buy boobs and wear more clothing than be overweight!

This.

The difficult part is changing your thinking to remember that you are going to be cold no matter where you go! For so many years I left the house without a jacket and dressed light because I knew I would be hot. Changing perspective seems to be taking longer than losing the weight, which at times also feels like its taking forever.

Another perspective I am having a hard time changing is when I go out to eat, it's ok to not clean my plate. I hate wasting food, I was taught growing up that it was rude to do so. And if I'm eating out, it's usually at least an hour from home, so the "pack up half and save it for tomorrow" plan of action doesn't work for me unless I want to carry a cooler everywhere I go. Anybody got any suggestions for that?

Also. For the one who said they didn't like their collar bone being bony.. LOVE IT! I love my collarbone, and the way my hips jut out when I lay down. Woohoo!

As a guy I kind-of like women's collarbones... not sure if that's common or not...

For me, the wedding ring and my watch were the biggest annoyance. I had to re-size both twice. My wife was NOT happy with me getting into shape and being without my wedding ring (took about 3-4 days each time), LOL... not that she has to worry, the girls at the gym are NOT looking at the nearly-50 yr old grey-haired married guy...

1. Being between weights on the machines at the gym.

2. Being between sizes. (2x is too small, 3x is too big)

maddiey

Thinking, YES I did it! *goes out and buys clothes* and then Damn I got smaller again... no money for new clothes :sad:

sandi117

What are yours?

Mine are as follows:
1. Loose skin
2. Being inbetween sizes
3. Clothes becoming loose quickly
4. Shoes getting big
5. My ring keeps moving constantly....(especially when I workout)

Success at a price

Numbers 2, 3, and 5 for me... I actually lost one of my favorite rings without realizing it till it was too late. I had it on when I went to the store, and when I was about half-way home, I realized it was gone... Store said no one has turned it in.

irishblonde2011

I really wanted to lose weight in the chest area. 36 pounds down and nothing has changed. They look bigger than ever because I'm smaller!! I'm sure people think they are fake. Sometimes my sister who I see every day just blurts out holy *kitten* your boobs are hugh. Eh thanks. So trust me ladies sometimes smaller is better. Getting tops to fit are a nightmare. :devil:

Natihilator

Not knowing your workout pants are too big until you are moving around in them, running or in the middle of a Zumba class, tripping all over the place on the too-long pant bottoms. Spandex is dangerously deceiving.

Shoes getting big can also be dangerous. Losing weight is hazardous.

pinkraynedropjacki

Feeling the cold more. It's got to 27 here today & I'm rugged up. I'm freezing my *kitten* off. I miss layers of fat for warmth. Other than that..... not a damn thing. I even love the damn veins I can now see that are popping out on my arms.

ejean62

OMG....my bras all get so loose, which means sagging breast that jiggle.

the wonders of primark gone from a uk 22/24 to a uk 10/12 i have the problem that everyone else is that size so if looking for summat special most likely will have sold out but manage to get me a goal size 6 t shirt for a quid (never gonna happen) also wish my boobs would disappear, and the cold yeah i look hot but am cold more

vkw1

The boob shrinkage.

I hate that too...

worse when one is affected more than the other

WhaddoWino

When some people see me they say, I'm obsessed with working out, and I want to tell them, no your just f@#king lazy.

Heh... that's great!

tnsumner

1. That I have all these clothes that I can't wear anymore. They'll be finding their way into my friend's closet soon enough.
2. Wanting to shake people that ask me, "How did you lose so much weight?" Eat less. Exercise more.
3. Not having to go to the plus size of the store is AWESOME!!!!
4. Actually being able to find my size on the sale/clearance rack was also SUPER AWESOME!!!!! Big sizes get gone first!
5. Having people use words such as "slim" and "skinny" to describe me instead of "the big girl" or "the fluffy one"

Honestly the most annoying NSV for me right now is being in between sizes......

Just want to say Im totally for getting those boobies you want! Alot of people are going to give you a hard time, tell you to love yourself etc.. but if youve got the money/save the money to do it, and really want it, GO FOR IT!! Its your body and no one elses!
:drinker:
Just my two cents!

alycat1990

I am in between sizes at most places right now in my pants .... like for example i bought a pair of skinny jeans a couple weeks back - just a cheap pair to tie me over.... the 12 wouldnt do up... and the 14 is tight around my legs but loose around my abdomen... like too loose almost... weeiirddddd.

totally know how u feel about the boney upper and muffin top - same here!

EmmaReed84

I never thought I would be annoyed at a NSV.

I started losing weight to get in to a better shape for my holiday in 10 weeks. I bought loads of clothes for my jollies one size less then what I actually was as I was just SO confident I would fit in them by the time my holiday arrived!!

Why am I annoyed... THEY ARE ALL TOO BIG!!!!

They are not too big that I can't wear them, but some of the fitted stuff now just hangs lol. DH is not impressed and seeing as I have another 10 weeks to go I need to be careful not to lose too much more inches.

DalekBrittany

After reading all of your annoyances, I have to say...

I can't WAIT to be annoyed by so many things. :bigsmile:

I have this too... Now need to sleep with a pillow between my legs!

majinuni

I really, really don't have the money to buy new clothes for work (business casual is expensive!) and so everything is falling off of me. Half my work pants don't have belt loops either, so I can't hitch them up.

I only had 10-15 lbs to lose so I wasn't thinking about this!! Now its actually kind of irritating...but lets be honest, not irritating enough that I want to gain the weight back :-P

Mine are as follows:
1. Loose skin
2. Being inbetween sizes
3. Clothes becoming loose quickly
4. Shoes getting big
5. My ring keeps moving constantly....(especially when I workout)

All of these are a bit annoying! However, when I compare them to THIS list:

1. Huge muffin top.
2. Trying to find a 16/18 size pants that hide my belly most effectively.
3. Swollen hands/rings cutting off circulation.
4. Out of breath and feeling like I'm gonna pass out and die from walking up a couple flights of stairs.
5. Shopping for hours and hours to find ONE top that doesn't hug my fat rolls in all the wrong places.

+1000 more reasons I hated being fat...I'm really glad to have my new problems :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

Amen to that!

sportyredhead01

I fell down a flight of stairs last week and all I could think was that it probably wouldn't of hurt as much if I had that 22lbs back for cushion

Ditto.That's the only time I've missed my extra padding! :happy:

Amy106Days

Bye bye boobs

VeeBethTris

The flocks of women I now attract :laugh:

Agreed. My bride has to walk around and beat them off of me with a stick.

Haha! Lucky, I don't have anyone to beat them away from me. I guess I just have to deal with them myself

Taking applications? LOL
