random side effects of losing weight~ what are yours??

-I'm cold a lot more often
-People look at me more (I hate when people stare at me)
-Everyone is a lot nicer
-I have more gym clothes than work clothes

I cannot eat the way I use to even if I want to. To much fat and sugar messes with my stomach and makes me sick for days.

My wedding rings are much bigger, my watch is sized to the smallest size and is still too big, my boobs shrunk and the weight keeps dropping even though I'm not trying anymore.

I don't know what you guys are talking about being cold. I feel hot all the time now. I am sweating doing the dishes.

I used to prefer sleeping on my side with my knees bent but atop each other. Now, I cannot sleep that way -- I either need to sleep with my hips twisted so I'm front-side-down or I need to sleep on my back. Putting my knees together while sleeping on my side hurts! I had no idea there was really that much "cushioning" on the side of my knees, but it's obvious that a small bit of the 35 lbs I've lost has come from fat on the side of my knees. Strange, I know.

I also notice that my joints don't crack nearly as often as they used to. A year ago, my ankles and toes would crack almost every time I stood up from a sitting position on the floor; now, I barely hear any joints "crack" through the day.

I sweat more now than I ever have. I have to take several showers a day because of this.

I have acne!! Worse than ever!!

I love seeing/feeling bones I haven't seen in years.

The seats seem to be harder because of less padding on my tush.

My husband seems ummm... To have grown... We have to explore new positions because the old ones don't work as well. It is rather painful to me.

My clothes are to big, but I refuse to buy new ones until I have to.

The best one by far is feeling smaller, and being more flexible!

I am crossing my legs constantly now -- now that I can.

I no longer hide behind my huge purse when I'm sitting.

I'm not as paranoid about people seeing me from side view. This was a serious issue for me, especially somewhere like a crowded food court.

I stand up straighter now that I don't have to slouch to make sure my tops don't ride up too far.

I've started wearing red lipstick again. It just looks better for some odd reason.

decreased libido

With a body like yours, that's a shame. Just sayin'...

Feeling colder when everyone else is complaining about the heat
My knees hurting sometimes when I sleep on my side
Having a hard time finding pants. Pants are either too loose in my hips/tight in my waist & vice versa

Bump!

I second that!


I find my libido decreased when I was doing Insanity. It was as if I got out all my sweating and grunting all at once in the morning and, while I was more awake and alert all day, I didn't have that restless feeling at night like I wanted to engage in some physical activity before bed. Instead, I was just tired after a full day. Other than that one program, I don't think I noticed a difference in libido with exercise. Someone earlier posted that weights (which I've been wanting to get into) increases libido, so I might have to give that a try...

I'm freeeeezing! All the time! And I live in Arizona! I'm ready to move to a tropical climate for sure!

My shoes are bigger too. The most awesome thing is that I feel so much better and don't hurt!

I've gotten addicted to yard sales, Craigslist, and Goodwill for clothes. I'm super good at finding a bargain!

Being irritable and having crying fits.

my shoes are looser...my tailbone hurts on hard chairs. And I'm COLD a lot. And I can stand much closer to the table at work...had to change my stance for knife work.
