Funny "Problems" with weight loss

I measured myself for my true bra size a couple months ago. I got so happy and bought like four new bras. All of them fit on the tightest hooks. Then I lost enough weight to drop me down a band size. BRAS WASTED. I can still wear them, but they're not 100% comfortable. I should just go naked until I lose enough weight, otherwise I'm going to waste money on clothes I'll only wear for a couple months.

EURGH I know what you mean. Best thing to do I guess is measure for the biggest hook rather than tightest, so you at least have some extra time. But yes, it's very annoying. I have lost some very beautiful bras.

Oh yes, me too!! I've always loved underwear - the only type of clothes shopping I actually like. I've been wearing stretchy camisoles to hold everything in so I can get a few extra weeks out of my lovely bras... But I do feel sad about having to leave some of them behind, although I know I have to, some days my bras are so loose they come undone during the day.

Occasionally, I have to interview people for open positions with the company I work for.

I moved to a new area, so a few of my things were still in boxes. The person I was interviewing asked me for a business card, so I stood up to get him one, and my skirt slid down a bit. Nothing major was shown, because I had my blouse tucked in, but the interviewee had seen the outline of my undies.

On my lunch break, I went out and bought a few new skirts.

A huge percentage of necklines show my bra straps and/or cleavage now. I have to rule out a lot of XL tops for this reason and it keeps me from wearing a lot of cute styles I liked (boatnecks, scoop necks) when I had more fat in my neck and collarbone area :-/

This has more to do with lifting than weight loss, but finding freakin' pants that fit a guy who doesn't skip leg day. Tried on a pair of Levi 550-whatevers (the "most relaxed" fit, apparantly). Friggin' skinny jeans.

I hear ya.. Apparently the majority population skips leg day. I have 1 pair of jeans that are comfortable and zero that I can wear without a belt.

I find it annoying that bread cause a lot of water retention in me and I feel bigger all around.

Yeah, you know I noticed that I started to eat better things lately and my bulch really eased off. It could be the bread. Hmmmm

I have always loved this topic so here are a few some repeats some that'll probably make you scratch your head.

My biggest issue - there are not enough hours in the day for me to do all the fun things I want in the fitness world. Oh to be independently wealthy.

I'm bony, not skinny just bony so elbows, knees, shoulders, heels all those things you never notice when you're fat are sticking out.
So bony in fact that the tattoo on my foot now feels like raised letters.

I've spent a small fortune on clothing and shoes and now I find even my jewelry is too big, necklaces hang too low, rings slide off in cool weather (already been sized down to the max) bracelets slide right off over the hands.

I went from being a woman people were slightly afraid of to "OMG you're so cute" which means people are shocked when they know I own a Harley.

Oh and here's a good one, people think I do not know what it's like to be overweight. HAHAHAH here's a picture, scary huh?!

OMG! this elephant stomach thing you are all talking about... it is super sad

hopefully it will go away eventually, and yes I strength train, the last set of deadlifts, I am usually squinting and grunting and everything else

I look more gross naked now 30+ lbs down than I did before. Everything is saggy and gross... and chances are it will be for awhile longer. I know I'm healthier and stuff and feel better... but I still have days where it depresses the crap out of me.

I'm glad I'm not the only one feeling like this. I took a progress pic today and immediately said "F*cking ew." I look like I'm melting. I looked smoother when I was 30 pounds heavier.

MY LIFE. I am 2 lbs from my "ultimate" goal weight and I still look disgusting. I don't think I can say that I looked better before, but it is disheartening to have lost all this weight and STILL not be able to wear a two-piece swimsuit. So frustrating. Everything is so floppy and jiggly and just ew.

My biggest problem has been my shoes. I've had to go out and buy all new shoes because my old ones are too big.
Eight months ago when I started my journey if you would have told me I was going to lose weight in my feet, I would have told you
"You are Crazy!!"

I sweat ALL THE TIME like I'm going through menopause or something!! I start warming up for the trainer and I burst out sweating, by the time my session is done, I have sweat running down my damn arms!!

I have protein gas, from upping my protein intake...it's horrible and it can clear a room in a second!!

Because I was morbidly obese at 275lbs, I have lots of fat still and excess skin (I'm working on this)...If I don't wear compression pants, I think there is an audience of people clapping for me at the gym!!

Thats why I like Goodwill - didn't spend too much money, especially on 30% off days or 1/2 off days. Got some really cute stuff and was good with passing it on when they became too big.
Win win for everyone:-)

Another Step toward Success
Good morning everyone from sunny California. Thought I would just drop in and say hi and give you a little update on what is happening in my life. I planned out my meals on Fitness pal last night so it would be ready to go for me Iam more liable to stick with it if it is already planned out instead of being random. I have no weight to report as I did it yesterday. Later today I will go for my 2.6 mile walk hopefully to go further soon but right now it is one day at a time .I know people get discouraged at times for one reason or another ( I DO) But you have to take a step back look at where you were say a year ago and say to yourself I can do this look how far I have already come. Set small obtainable goals for yourself to build confident it might not be much but I told myself in the first week of exercise just walk a block and see what happens confidence went thru the roof. you and us together can do this but you need a good support system and you have one here. Enough of my babbling. You all have an awesome day and if you want to talk or be my friend I will gladly accept your request until next time keep your feet moving and your head toward the skies because a new you is a reach away.

Peace- N- Love

I know women can relate... My boobs are shrinking and one faster than the other so I can no longer wear my favorite sexy bra but when my boyfriend looks at me, his head kind of tilts to the side like he is looking at a crooked picture!! LOVELY!

My favorite pants that I just got back into somehow manage to give me muffin top while simultaneously threatening to fall off me.

Story of my life. All my pants fit this way and it sucks!

I look more gross naked now 30+ lbs down than I did before. Everything is saggy and gross... and chances are it will be for awhile longer. I know I'm healthier and stuff and feel better... but I still have days where it depresses the crap out of me.

I have that same issue. I look at my belly and all the "dimples" and think ... at least when I was 300+lbs it was all tight and smooth.

Keep pushing on, it's something we'll have to deal with for a bit, but as you said, it is for the better.
