I just dressed for the day and realized I'm going to have to poke another hole in my belt. Amazing how a few inches makes you feel.15

Yup so the OP could be swinging for the fences and missing the perfectly nice women who are occupying the field even if they aren't his type
It's not even about missing them. They are not even/rarely/only as an after thought ever looking at in the first place.

Your pets will lose weight. We don't feed many scraps because it's not good for them...But they have never liked veggies or fruits, only processed stuff. So now they get NO scraps! Plus, when you are more active you interact with them more!!15

Mine like peas, carrots, spinach, pretty much any veggie I eat - they eat. They really like snap peas though.3 -

Mine pups love veggies! Except spinach. Spinach is the only food they won't pick up when I drop. But they have gotten into fights over the last cucumber stem8 -
I really can't believe that a small blip up on the scale can feel so awful and uncomfortable, 24/7.
I'm up 3 lbs for the last month or so, and it feels like 50. And it's not felt right or normal the entire time. Old me cd just go up and up and have it not really register; it seemed to make no difference in how I felt. Now, at 5' and going from 109 to 112, I feel like I am carrying an anchor around and that someone took a bicycle tire pump to my belly. I am aware of it all the time.
I always heard people around my height say things like "A little bit of weight makes such a huge difference," and now I really get it.24 -
Same here. It seems like the only activity my friends did was "lets get food".8 -

Whoa! That's eye-opening.0 -
I love this thread!!! Here are mine (I've lost almost 40 pounds).
I'm cold all the time.
I lost a LOT of hair, despite eating healthier.
When I don't get out for a run, I really really regret it. I used to regret running lol.
Laying on my side in bed hurts my knees cause they poke each other.
Crossing my legs is comfy now!
Weight loss really slows down after the first 20-25 pounds.
No more aches and pains just from existing.
People you don't see often might not recognize you! A good friend of mine hadn't seen me in 6ish months and walked by me like she didn't know me!
Logging food becomes a must, not a chore.
Some people will be jealous and will refuse to compliment your good work. They will ignore it and be bitter.21 -
Some people will be jealous and will refuse to compliment your good work. They will ignore it and be bitter.
This one seems a bit silly and presumptuous. I personally try refraining from commenting on people's weight, even if I've seen that they are making great progress. It's not because I don't care, it's because some are sensitive and take a comment/compliment in a backwards manner...meaning they interpret it as you calling them fat.
That's what forums like this are for. If you are looking for a boost in motivation to keep going, or just wanting to talk about your progress, come here.22 -

So you say to come to the forums to talk about progress or for a boost, and then tear apart what I say and criticize it?? That's a little hypocritical, don't you think?14 -

I don't think he was hypocritical in any way at all.21 -

I think when someone gives their experience (after all, isn't that what this thread is?) and the person replies that what I have experienced is "silly and presumptuous", then tells the person to go to these forums for a boost, that is literally the definition of being hypocritical. If you want to split hairs, then I'll settle for he's just a total jerk then.11 -

Congrats on your weight loss. But, isn't the hair loss a concern for inadequate nutrition/supplements? I don't think hair loss is common when losing weight.....12 -
easiest is if you have a partner going in it together with you, without support its really hard to start and keeping it.
Or a partner can drag you down with him/her. Everyone is not going to be 100% dedicated 100% all the time. When I'm feeling tired of it all, I like to keep that within myself so as not to bring anyone along with me on a binge or even a cheat meal. Not everyone is like that. When your partner is the one saying "we've earned a treat" then you've got to do it for yourself.12 -
That when you reach your final goal, you won't feel like part of the MFP community any more. That you won't feel like you have anything to contribute anymore. That after all the time spent losing the weight, you don't really have a plan for what to do now other than just keep doing what you've been doing for the last 580 days or so. That you will be afraid to go into maintenance (higher calorie count) because what if you gain some of the weight back? That now, you don't feel like you have a purpose anymore without that weight loss goal to keep you motivated every day. That you would be terrified you will end up where you always have in the past...putting all those pounds back on...being a disappointment to yourself and others whose opinion is important to you...even tho' you have changed every thing about the way you eat and will keep that change in place. That it would be difficult to move on, celebrate and enjoy your accomplishment. That you know you should be extremely happy and proud of yourself but you just feel lost.66

When you are asked how much more do you plan on loosing? You then answer with a clothes size (ashamed of how heavy you was) and the person then answers oh I don't think with your height you will look right/gaunt ECT.
REALLY F**** OFF is rude to say too.16 -
That i would constantly be dropping my phone through my thigh gap. My poor phones going to smash into a million pieces soon -.- Used to just sit it in my lap now theres a good 2-3 inch gap where my thighs used to press tighly together lol26

Uh if that is happening a lot that is not a sign of health. I would be concerned.
That happens to me sometimes because I've always had - not matter what - low blood pressure.2
