    The ladies have shrunk (a lot!) but even more - I miss my insulation - I am cold all the time!! I never used to need even a long sleeved shirt, now I need a long sleeved shirt over a thermal shirt and under a sweatshirt - only time I'm warm, working out :sad:

    Isnt that the truth!! I have lost about 20 lbs and man.. I can tell. Now Im almost always cold. (Doesnt help that I have bad circulation)

    Boobs.

    I've always had a butt though, even as a 100lb ballerina.

    Ready to turn my overstuffed 36D+ back into a 34B though.

    This may be a result of still being on a long term caloric deficit. I am very small and have a fast metabolism and I am almost always very warm and generate heat (my husband snuggles up to me for warmth). When I am exposed to actual, true cold, I do get very cold and shake/shiver, teeth chattering (more than most people), but it warms me up and then I feel comfortable.

    I agree with this, I do get colder than I used to when it is ACTUALLY cold right now, but when I was on a long term VLC diet, I was constantly freezing, even when other people were warm. I am normal now, I think, if anything back to being warmer than some people.

    boobs. butt. and the time spent to push myself to be more outgoing, friendly, funny and charming. (most) guys will go talk to a thin girl with no problem - i had to make them want to talk to me, so i had to offer more, personality wise.

    also, i'm almost always warm :)

    A lot of girls are saying that theyre boobs got smaller, but when i lost some weight my boobs got bigger- or i just measured wrong but originally i was a 36D, now a 36DD !! I'm cool with that, but being bigger i wouldn't say less fights for me, maybe because I am a female but I actually got into a lot of them, but on the plus side I always won them :wink:

    I even gotten into a fist fight with a guy because he kept calling me a fat *kitten*, and I just said oh yeah? watch this fatass kick yours! and i did :wink: almost got into big big trouble, but eventually he was embarrassed and let it go lol....

    i've always been kind of average with a little extra (all belly), but I also know how to feels to be ridiculed and know to not EVER ask a woman if she's pregnant unless I know them!!! THAT people have asked me a couple times and right then and there was when I would be like OH HELL NO!!! time to lose some weight!!! Very hurtful, but I know with the people who have asked it was not intentional so I only had myself to blame. When it comes down to I was pretty comfortable with myself at 5'10 170lbs and never with a flat stomach, but i got to 200lbs and hated life i am now at 185lbs and trying to get back to 170lbs!!! so I have pretty mixed feelings on it but miss my 170lbs flat stomach or not!!! :happy:

    I really miss my butt. My son told me I am now a flatback. I was confused. He said it is a person with no but. I am very sad about this. I really enjoyed my butt. Plus my boobs have gone from a F cup to a DD. If they shrink anymore I might cry.

    I would imagine hips and butt because if i was curvy that's what i'd want.

    <~~~ Black girl with no hips or butt :grumble:

    I tend to be shy so being bigger meant being invisible. Of course, when I didn't want to be, it could be frustrating. But most of the time, I liked being able to stay in the background.

    With weight loss, every time I've done it, comes more and more attention. At work, it's a constant topic of conversation, people wolf whistle me, compliment me, even touch me, ask me questions, every day. It's NICE and I appreciate the support, but if you are kind of shy like me, all the new attention can be exhausting. Makes me a little self-conscious. I'm not complaining though! I felt self-conscious when fat in an entirely different way though at least no one particularly noticed lol.

    people take me more seriously when i was fatter than when i was thin. that's one of the MAIN reasons i purposely wanted to be bigger.

    i also feel safer. that's about being big

    as for being curvy, i was that even when i was a size 4. curvy is more about body proportions than body size. i know plenty of overweight women who still look like sticks, just larger ones

    My boobs are awesome. I'd be really sad if I were this fat and had small boobs!

    As someone who was big w/ small boobs, I think I'd be sadder if I had big boobs that were lost when I got thinner. Saggy, deflated boobs.

    I had more friends, people seemed to talk to me more

    I liked my face better when it was more plump.

    I was warmer

    People weren't trying to feed me all the time...I still have like 30 pounds to go and the constant offering of food I should not be eating really takes a toll on the willpower after awhile.
