Resting Btch Face. Two people within the span of a week said I looked so mad all the time, but it was because the last 3lbs of my weight loss came directly from my face.4

Great post and amazing community.3

I got undressed for my shower last night and noticed a lot of weird bumps on the just below and to the side of my breasts. Those were my ribs. I've never seen them so prominently before in my life. I guess I just lost the final bit of fat from those areas.3

that my newly developed forearm muscles can be quite distracting when driving4

"Before" I had to make a conscious decision to breath OR tie my shoes. Now I can do both safely without the risk of blacking out!5

I haven't seen this one in the 23 pages I have made it through -- I enjoy that when I am driving I don't feel sections of my torso/stomach shake when going over bumps.5

I am down 74 lbs with at least 50 to go. I have noticed that I am no longer cold all the time and sweat a lot more. I tend to be warm at night a lot.1

THATS WHAT THAT IS? I lay on my back down and I can see my hip bones and I can see my heart beat in my stomach. I was going to ask my doctor. I'm still pretty big but smaller than before!!2 -

Amen on this! I have been doing my own pedicures for the first time in AGES. It's saving me a bundle - which I plan to use on new sandals and summer clothes. Being able to reach your feet is awesome!

I went to a woman's conference this weekend and had to climb two flights of stairs several time a day to get to my seat. In the past I would have taken the elevator, but I walk the stairs every time and wasn't gasping for breath when I reached the top. Nor did I have to stop because I didn't have the strength to continue to climb. That's what losing 88 lbs did for me ! A huge NSV.11

I'm just shy of 40 pounds down (out of a probable 95 or 100).
All of a sudden, people biking by are greeting me when I take my dog on the walking path.1 -
I am glad I am not the only one that can't wrap my head around this. I have lost almost 60lbs and I still think there is just something wrong with the scale, or that companies are just making clothes bigger. I had to try on a small shirt at express, when just over a year ago I couldn't even fit in their clothes. Also nobody tells you about the emotional moment when you hit your goal then all you can think is "now what?" after all that work, it seems amazing and anti-climactic all at once.5

It took my a few days to read trough all of that but this thread is everything! So inspiring to keep going!2

when getting laid I love the, "Wow, your hard muscles are turning me on" type of reactions. : )4

It's enough weight loss now that people ALWAYS notice. People want to know what I've done to lose weight... Nope, no magic pills. MyFitnessPal.com and a food scale.
No idea what my right bra size is...
I don't try clothes on, I normally buy them and take them home. That doesn't work anymore... I needed MEDIUM shorts? Good lord, that MUST be wrong... That was a fun return. So now I use the changing rooms.
I get cold faster.
I pretty much like how I look in the mirror now. I am not at my goal yet, but I can DO THIS. I walk by that mirror with a thumbs up!3 -
I've lost 72 lbs. About 20 to go.
I had to exchange a pair of pants twice because I kept bringing home too big a size. I was folding laundry yesterday and I can't believe these tiny jeans fit me. I too keep wondering if my scale is just broken.
People refer to me as tiny! My son told me not to lose any more weight because I'm bony when he hugs me. Lol. I need a better mattress now that I don't have as much body fat to cushion me. My period is finally regular for the first time in my life!
The bad: I always thought I had no face wrinkles. Sadly, they were just hidden under fat. My boobs are a shell of their former glory. But I'm seriously considering breast lift/implants as a gift to myself when I get to and maintain goal for a year.

The one that is sticking out in my brain is that the pockets in size 14 pants are way smaller than those in size 24 pants. I used to be able to carry my whole purse in my pockets... now my phone hardly fits!
I was just thinking about this today.....my friend was making fun of me because i can fit my giant smartphone in my pocket right now.....i was like "man....in like 1 pant size i wont bea le to anymore! What am i gonna do?" Now i understand why all these skinny girls have them hanging outof their back pockets......I cant wait for that day!!!!!

I spend way too much time getting ready for work, I have to try on multiple outfits still thinking the XL'S might look good - not so much - I have a harder time buying clothes as well it is a wider range depending on the style.
Still don't like fitting room mirrors so trips back to return are the norm!1 -
