    Pants way too loose. I have dropped down 4 sizes. While I am excited to be able to shop in a store and not just online now, I do not want to spend too much on new clothes until I get closer to my goal.

    Oh, yeah bra shopping only happens online for me. Try finding a bra with a band size of 30 in a cup size befitting a matronly bosom on a Walmart budget, lol! I live in sports bras (the Hanes 3-pack el-cheapos) during summer break. :sad:

    And...my feet shrunk, for real! I have a whole shoe wardrobe of wide widths that are too roomy now. Didn't see that coming. Really, even my feet lost weight?

    Loss of favourite shoes is my surprise issue too - gone from a 9(UK) to a 7(UK) and width reduction too...... never expected that

    I have an apple body shape, and while I dont see a change in my waist, my shorts do fit better. But what I see is my boobs disappearing at an alarming rate. I went from a DD to a C in two months. Im so scared of what the end product is going to look like. Ive started saving for a boob lift and implants -_-

    The shoe thing threw me too - I was not expecting to lose a full shoe size and width... I went from a 9 1/2 wide down to a 8 1/2 regular and my shoes would fly off my feet...

    Socks were the only things I owned that did not need to be replaced

    I can't lay on my side with my legs one on top of the other because my knees and ankles hurt due to not enough padding. Bone on bone is not fun.


    I have to be more careful about my alcohol in take because I have lost so much weight it affects me more.

    These were the exact 2 I was going to post! I hate that first one when I'm lying in bed at night!

    As for the second one, well I horribly embarrassed myself on a work night out by being sick! Thankfully, all my colleagues were very understanding when I blamed the 4 stone weight loss!

    I'm finding I'm getting more (unwanted) male attention too - from men with wives! Not good!

    Yes to the complaints about being too thin! When I'm right in the middle of healthy BMI...

    The jeans that fit my quads are waaaaaay too big in the waist :sad:

    I had to pay to get my wedding rings sized down three sizes and they're loose again :sad:

    I have an addiction to buying workout clothes :drinker:

    Not being able to lose the last of my weight because my body is holding onto it for dear life!

    Being at that awkward stage where I'm in between sizes so everything either looks huge or too small.

    All my bras being too big, but not being able to get more at the moment.

    Needing to buy all new clothes.

    I went camping this weekend and I only had a sleeping bag between me and the floor. The normal way I sleep had my hip digging into the hard ground all night. It sucked but a part of me was all... oooh I have hip bones.

    When my *kitten* was shall we say more "cushioned" I could sit on hard wooden benches and metal train station benches with no problem. Now they hurt my hipbones lol. It was like having my own portable sofa to sit on.

    Oh and I am on my fifth generation of new trousers. And they are too big for me XD.

    I'm not skinny yet but im on the way.

    my heart rate monitor chest strap won't stay up anymorw & I have it at the tightest it can be

    This is so annoying!!!

    Fold and Stitch off an inch of it? I've had to become an alterations pro, though I just have a needle and thread. And I've done this a couple times, but sometimes ya just gotta let the loose clothes go:

    People who didn't know me before weight loss assume I was always thin, that it's easy for me to maintain this weight, or act insecure towards me on the topics of weight/fitness/nutrition. I used to be get bullied and would never want to put someone through that, but they don't know that.

    My obese family members think I'm too thin (they tell me so) and try to enable my old habits when I visit them. It's an uphill struggle.

    It takes me an hour of running to burn 450 calories.
    I'm always cold.
    I buy way too many clothes.
    Cheat days are less forgiving :sad:
    Vacations end up stressful because of all the foods.
    Having to buy too many sneakers because they get worn too fast... check.
    Sitting everywhere hard hurts.

    This is a great post. For me its the fact I always seem to be inbetween sizes! Either too tight or too loose! I used to walk into the store, grab my size, buy it and walk out. Never tried anything on.... Now everything must be tried on! grr..
  • I almost pantsed myself at work in front of our CEO because they were so loose. I literally had to borrow a safety pin to keep them up.
    Admittedly this is not exactly a problem because it gives me an excuse to go shopping.

    Jeans are becomming baggy which at 5'3 isn't necessarily a good look. Slightly worried that my bust won't reduce along with my wait which could leave me looking very very very top heavy at 34FF. Praying that my shoe size will drop a little so that I can stop coming up with excuses for not wearing the Manolo's and Jimmy Choo's that my partner bought me :heart:
  • If they're a little snug a lot of shoe repair places might stretch them for free.
    I do a lot of orthopedic shoe work for a podiatry practice and we do it for patients all the time as a courtesy.

    I like the word 'skinny' it didn't have negative connotations when I was growing up and I still use it to refer to someone who isn't buff but also isn't carrying much extra fat.

    Anyway, going out for a jog the day before yesterday, I had to veer off to avoid swarming yellow jackets. Also, I fear the other vegans would take my vegan card away if they knew how many bugs I inhale on my runs. And yet I must have my legal endorphin high. Now that I've cleaned the crap out of my diet, I can't stay inside, much less in my chair all day. Must go!

    In addition to a higher grocery bill (much higher!) thanks to the produce section coupled with a burning desire to learn to cook, even thrift store shopping is biting me in the wallet because now I find clothes I feel confident in EVERYWHERE! And plus I had to cut up my I don't give a damn what I look like, I'm not a girly girl card. It was hard to read anyway. Had to use tiny type to fit.

    Okay, neither skinny/slim nor fit yet, but definitely having some of these problems!

    I realised this weekend is that I bought some camisole tops to go under a couple of low cut dresses and I now wear them all the time! I would never have done that 70lb ago. I've got to buy some more now. :sad:

    The skinny jeans my partner donated to me four months ago are now way too large.

    I've developed a disturbing habit of running up stairs and escalators. People give me funny looks when I pelt past them.

    My obese family members think I'm too thin (they tell me so) and try to enable my old habits when I visit them. It's an uphill struggle.

    ugh....yes. my mother (and several other people) put on this worried look and ask me if I'm eating and tell me to PLEAAASE DON'T LOSE ANY MORE WEIGHT!!! every time they see me. despite the fact that I stopped losing months ago and have, in fact, intentionally put some back on. I went to visit my nana's summer cottage a couple weekends ago with my old roommate and my parents were there also. My mother pulled my friend aside to ask if I'm eating or not. I literally ate as much as the two of them put together at every meal.
    This i come from a family where people are bigger. I'm already being told now i'm so skinny, even though i'm still overweight and have a lot of fat. I want to be 150-156lbs and a size 6. I'm already tired of the weight loss comments, can't imagine how much worse they'd get after reaching goal weight. Have you also had it where friends are bit more distant with you?

    I probably have some who may avoid me because they think I'm judging them whenever they eat....and to be honest, if they've expressed the desire to lose weight, don't do any exercise, stuff their faces with ridiculous amounts of food and then whine when they don't lose anything and get mad whenever I mention an issue IIII have now ("pfffft....skinny people problems *eye roll*).....then sometimes I do judge juuuust a little bit. lol....for the most part I am pretty choosy with people I would consider actual friends as opposed to acquaintances, though....so I don't have TOO many, and the ones I do are honest with me. I've had a few who have said "to be honest, I'm a little jealous, but I'm also happy for you. But jealous."....so they put it out there and we move on. lol.

    Mine went from a 44 DD to a 30 C. It is a sad state of affairs. I don't mind having small ones. I'd just rather they weren't composed of mostly skin.

    I see a few people have mentioned they can't drink as much before feeling it. I always figured I was able to consume so much without any effect because I was bigger. However, since TRYING to dope myself up for a bone marrow biopsy since freezing doesn't work and they wouldn't offer any alternatives, I've found that it may be that alcohol, along with every other drug known to man simply doesn't work on me at all. Everyone kept telling me "one T3...or 1 Ativan and I'm down for the count" or at least they can't drive because they're too drowsy. So, knowing drugs don't do much on me at all I tripled that....3 T3, 3 Ativan....and because I heard that alcohol is supposed to compound the effects of both drugs, so you shouldn't drink while you have them....I had 3 or 4 ounces hard liquor as well. Thought "THAT should do it!".....nothing. nada. zilch. Did not affect me even in the slightest, and thus, I had the (hands down) worst medical experience of my entire life.

    At least now I know this....if I should ever need to make some quick cash, I can just take my 140 pound self down to a local drinking establishment and challenge some big dude to a contest. He'll take one look at me and put everything he owns on the table :P. Hopefully he also owns a truck so that I can get it all to my house :P.

    We all DREAM that that will be us one day!
    I like slim better than skinny.

    I am older and I have the problem that I still have clothes which are thirty or forty years old size 4. They fit, but I am too old for them.

    These were all SO good and motivational. I can't wait to lose so many inches that a HRM is too big, or for my pants to fall off, or to lose (a little, JUST a little) of the cushion in my portable seat pillow, lol!

    So this is not you in your profile pic, I assume. THIS person is seriously fit. If not, you'll get there!
