Is it me...or do you get more..um...romantic feelings?
yes, I have this. So much more.
I've always had a lot. Now I'm like a freak though.

Fantastic, and sometimes-frustrated0 -
You work your a** off to lose 15 pounds and no one asks you "Are you losing weight?" and tbh you can't tell the difference either XD0

Getting unwanted attention from men. Some are delighted by all the attention when they are looking super hot and I can't say it isn't an ego boost once and awhile but I felt a little uncomfortable in my own skin when I started to notice more stares etc. It's probably one subconscious reasons I self-sabotage when I hit a certain weight point.
I second this.0 -
Buying new pants. I HATE shopping for pants. It's so dreadful. Also having to pay for new clothes. I'm just going to get a few necessities at the thrift store until I get to my goal weight. I also lost my pants while getting off of the bus the other day. Thankfully I was wearing a baggy hoodie. It was half embarrassing and half cool because they were my pants from my freshman year of high school (7 years ago)0

^^ This one for me. I used to be thinner and then changed jobs into the ag industry where I work with only men and have mostly male customers. The unwanted attention almost made me quit my job. Instead I turned to food and gained the 60 lbs I lost plus 60 more. Now, 7 years later, I am half way to taking it back off again and still get uncomfortable about it. Men I only see at harvest comment about it, or compliment me for my hard work or even ask advice on how to do it themselves. I should feel proud about it but it still makes me feel very uncomfortable.
Also constantly shopping for new clothes gets expensive. And I don't want to spend money on anything too nice that I will just have to get rid of again soon. Annoying.0 -
I love to cook and bake... I love to experiment with foods/ingredients, and I love to feed people. Can't really do that anymore. I have to watch the calories too closely now.
Some of my heavier friends avoid me now. Hurts my feelings because I am the same person just a few pounds lighter.
WRINKLES! Ugh...

> Loose/jiggly skin
> having to buy new clothes (I'm poor x-x)
> people saying things like "you're evaporating!" which makes everyone scrutinize you *major blushing*...
> people being jealous and hateful about your weight loss
> not being able to eat cheap junk anymore without your stomach being very upset with you
> I can't carry the baby on my hips as well since the fat is disappearing there
That's all I can think of right now0 -

Yup. Sex drive was always high, but as I start to feel better, it is just goes through the roof. And it comes up at the worst times, hah0 -
> I get really cold really fast now lol.
> constant want of new clothing
> loose skin
> paranoia of gaining weight
> my constant want of approval from others ( I really don't know why but when I lost my weight I suddenly felt the need to want to impress everyone )0 -
I got my heart broken by a way better-looking guy than I'm used to.0

You can't float as well. You can't hold as much alcohol. Your wrinkles show. When you argue with someone you can't just sit on them until they scream UNCLE. People do not get out of your way. Idiots hit on you. SEE: There ARE some downsides to losing weight.0

I'm always cold (kind of hoping the hot flashes start kicking in). Shaving my legs is more difficult (so many tendons/ligaments around the knees!). It hurts to sit down for a long time (not a lot of fat left around my butt bones).
But overall I'm not complaining!0 -
The fact you can't spot reduce - I have a wide set frame shoulders, ribcage, pelvis.. Ridiculous just how 'bony' I am in some areas but not others.
Definitely feeling the cold more.
Working out & sex drive going through the roof (but being single).
Falling in between dress sizes - do you opt for too tight. Or being swamped?
Brittle hair & dry skin whilst on a cut (I was prone to these anyway).
Focussing on all my 'problem areas' in the mirror (previously the fact I was just round mitigated specific worries).0 -

I'm now considering the "strong one" in my family (not my husband and kids, I meant family like my parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, etc) and so I'm the one they call for Chore Duty/Yard Sale help/Moving/etc.
I've faked my death too many times to count.

Can't think of any to be honest.. it's been great0
