Unexpected Outcomes With Weight Loss

What outcomes have you noticed that you never expected when those pounds started dropping off?

A couple of mine are;

Although chairs are more comfortable to sit in because you fit better, you can't seem to sit as long because your bum doesn't have as much padding.

It takes so much less time to shave my legs. Not only is there less skin, but I can reach all parts much easier.

    Related to the "padding" issue, I bruise more easily in some areas that have less fat cushioning them now.

    Going down a size and a half in shoes, and sometimes two sizes depending on brand. I had to buy all new shoes!

    This is me too. I certainly didn't expect that!

    This isn’t the answer you were probably expecting, but my bank account looks better now that I am eating out less!

    I wish I could say the same. I never ate out much, just ate a lot more of it, and often cheap food with little nutritional value.

    I am sure with some more weight loss I could place more clothes in a suit.

    Easier to shave my legs, but harder to shave my armpits. There's an actual pit to navigate into now.

    Same. And since I wear pretty expensive shoes to deal with arthritis issues in my feet, replacing them has been pricey!

    Before I lost weight my thighs touched, and when I had to sneeze in public I could just discretely squeeze my thighs together and hold my pee. Now that my thighs don't touch, it doesn't work that way anymore. Ask me how I know :D

    I have not hesitated to make a leg-crossing spectacle of myself. :p

    OMG! i was wondering what the hell is going on. I still haven't figured out how to get this one specific spot - two razers and lots of trials and errors later.

    When I read trwww, I was hopeful that my tinnitis might become better too. I've had it for almost 40 years. Another good reason to continue losing weight. It would be really nice not to have that continuous high-pitched ringing in my ears.
