    When all your clothes are baggy but you don't want to spend money to buy stuff that will fit because you plan on losing more weight!
    Yes, that's me.:laugh:

    1 - Boobs got smaller
    2 - Cannot find any pants to fit (I am a size 0 - 2)
    3 - Even more sensitive to cold than I already was
    4 - No padding on butt (bad for bicycling, motorcycling, long periods of sitting)

    But.....very healthy!!! Just had annual physical and all my bloodwork, vital signs, etc. are great. 57 years old, nothing hurts, can run for miles, love life!!!!!

    I'm waiting. I'm wearing the stretched out undies...LOL. Who sees em? My husband gave me $2000 for a shopping spree (ok a mini one) when I get to where I want to be. Slowly but surely stuff is getting tossed from my closet and its such a good feeling. Hard for someone who hates getting rid of stuff cuz I hate shopping..really..I hate shopping... but about 25 more pounds and I'm there...or I'll have to go naked.... I wear the baggy jeans... the baggy shirts...will make the reveal even better. ;)

    In my case, I discovered a lot of slim clothes that I fit into now. But since I am planning to lose some more or get toned and lose inches( preferably the later), I will have to do with them for now instead of going in a shopping spree.
    I lost a bra size and very happy about it as I am petite and my b'belly seemed to have another curve attached. Ohh how I miss my size zero figure of 20s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think for me the worst thing is about how I see myself and mentally getting my head around the weight loss. I have never been slim as an adult, and I find it really hard to now judge what will fit and what won't, what will look good and what doesn't etc. I hold clothes up in shops and think they will be far too small, but they fit or are sometimes too big! I don't have a good concept of how I look next to other people and still assume I will be the fattest person in the room, even though that is clearly not the case and possibly never was.

    I don't always recognise myself when I catch a glimpse in a mirror, and it's quite disconcerting to have a stranger staring back at you when you brush your hair. People react with me differently now - I get flirted with more and don't know what to do about it. I think it all adds up to feeling like i've lost my sense of who I am a little bit and i'm not sure who this new thinner version of me is. I bought a size UK14 blouse on Tuesday and I don't think i've ever bought something that size in my life. I was triumphant, but a little part of me thinks that's really weird and strange. I told my friend that it was "a bit ****ed up" because it honestly feels like that.

    I look in the mirror, and once I get over the little shock I get every time, I see someone who I think is actually quite pretty, which I have never considered myself before. I don't know how to live as a pretty version of myself. I never expected weightloss to blow my mind as much as it has, or for me to find it as weird as it is.

    Worse than that: my boobs are shrinking at slightly different rates for some reason. One-armed push-ups??

    1. The 'girls' have suffered big time since starting weight training....what use to be DD is now a C, and since I get those slightly padded ones, could be worse, I refuse to try on a B cup! And to think in 1980 I had a reduction and took 3 lbs total off them suckers!!
    2. Loose skin, losing 200lbs needless to say I have a lot of it.... and NO I do not have the $$ for a full body lift nor do I think I would want to go through that pain and down time...
    3. My resting heart rate is very low now, in the 50's and sometimes lower, take way more to burn those calories. I have very high lean mass, over 130lbs which is considered high for a woman, but very low RMR at 1365, but I think part of that might be 75 wks on a low cal diet. Trying to up the calories without gaining too much now!

    Woman! I started out as a B. I am afraid to get new bras because I KNOW I have gone down to an A. lol. I am not done losing weight yet, who knows where I will be at the end of things. LOL.

    I love all of these responses! Seems like a lot of us have the same worries. But as many have said - the thin, boobless me is MUCH better than the fat, boobless me. :love:

    Yes the boob thing. Mine held up for a while but I can see they are now fighting a losing battle.
    I bought two pairs of straight legged jeans, which I have not worn for 25 years, and now the waist is huge! i have ordered belts to hold them up. i want to buy a 'bodycon' dress but think I should wait until I have got to target so as not to waste more money. That is a bit frustrating - can't buy 'investment' clothes as i am still going down. I will stick to the cheaper ranges. I have a lovely dress in the wardrobe that is vast now. I've only worn it twice,

    I'm giving new meaning to the term "cracker *kitten*". Since losing weight, I have no butt. I plan on fixing that through exercise.

    Flabby skin, and YES, loosing some boobs, I'm top heavy so its not too bad, but still don't like it, lol. What is also weird, is when you were originally very heavy, and had a lot to lose, your body goes through this misshapen stage as you lose. I don't know how else to describe it, lol.

    being in between sizes......

    YES! YES! YES! I HATE BELTS!

    So, what is this deal for all sizes that you are either +2 on either side of a wardrobe change? UGH!

    I've the opposite problem. I've gone from a 40DD to an 34F! I swear I haven't lost a single gram from them. Would love for at least half of them to disappear.


    Get a well fitting bra. Seriously will make your middle look flatter and make Pammy and others jealous.

    I'm looking forward to going shopping and buying new clothes... When I get closer to goal. (Can't afford to with every size drop.) Unfortunately I have discovered that I'm not going to be able to wait much longer to buy all new undies. At first I just thought the elastic was stretched out. Then I noticed that it was every dang pair. ? It seems that I've lost inches from my butt and upper thighs, and those things are climbing on me! :blushing:

    I'm waiting. I'm wearing the stretched out undies...LOL. Who sees em? My husband gave me $2000 for a shopping spree (ok a mini one) when I get to where I want to be. Slowly but surely stuff is getting tossed from my closet and its such a good feeling.

I wear the baggy jeans... the baggy shirts...will make the reveal even better. ;)

    This made me giggle, re underwear., I had to cave in and buy new undies but use the saggies as gym workout undies cause I hate throwing things out too. I am wearing baggy clothes though cause am between sizes and it annoys me when shopping. If you fit in smaller size yeah, if you don't it feels like an epic failure.

    This! I hate being there. One size gives you a muffin top and the other makes you look like you crapped your pants (baggy *kitten*).
    ..and the boobs go buh-bye

    hahahaha..this made me lmao! this is EXACTLY where I am right now. Frustrating as hell, haven't shopped as a result of it. :frown:

    My boobs have so far gone down from 38D to a 36D but they look super small on my frame - never liked 'em really. Meanwhile, the butt ain't going anywhere. haha

    Mine finally decided to show up in my mid-20's so I'm sad that they're starting to go now.

    One thing is that I'm always cold now. I guess I forgot how cold I always used to be before I put on my "happily married wieight.":tongue:

    I lost my hardly any boobs too when I went below 20% body fat.

    If you are cold all the time, you probably are not eating enough.

    Thank you for the tip. I'll keep it in mind!

    or your boss hates you. Mine has the office set at 68 degrees.. I am surrounded by marble and tile.. I am ALWAYS COLD! I haven't even lost my weight yet.

    Wrinkles I didn't have a year ago. Fat is great at holding your skin taut...

    bra math

    40DD= 38DDD /F (in most cases)= 36 FF = 34G

    you lost two cup sizes.

    celebrate.
