So this morning I was doing my run and as I was pushing harder up the hill I felt a cool breeze on my thighs and realised my pants had fallen down. I died inside but was also gleefully happy because it’s working. In related news I’m never leaving the house again

    Ok. That was the funniest post! Maybe you can just run with a mask from now on!

    Oh gosh, this made me laugh so hard! Sorry for that. But well done.

    Mind you, I just had surgery. When I came around I just wanted to sleep again. I had a hospital dream, mind, and the nurse nagging me just fitted in. So I told her to let me sleep. It's just a dream and the surgery is only planned for next week (it was brought forward by a week). She kept on nagging me, so I put the blanket aside and said: "See? Nothing!" and lay there rather naked with four cuts in my tummy for everyone to see. Oops. Lets just pretend this did not happen, right? :#

    I can so imagine that! Well, we know the laugh of the day at that hospital! Lol!

    I had that happen in a dance performance once. As in, people were meant to be watching me!

    On the other hand, I caught them at my hips, before they fell completely. Performed the rest with one hand on my waist band.

    Thanks for the giggle. Thankfully it hasn't happened to me in public, but I now only have two pairs of work trousers that I can wear (and one of those is only because it has belt loops). If I plan to wear something that I haven't worn in a while, I walk around the house quite a bit before I venture out. I have a pile of trousers and skirts that no long stay up, all waiting to go to a charity shop.

    That's why the elastic waistband was invented. To save our neighbors from the trauma. 😂

    Haha! I can imagine that they see those things every day. Makes a change to changing bed linen due to people puking in recovery. :D Btw, my famous last words were: Bugger, I like my abs. I was rather stoned on fentanyl at that time though :D The surgeon mentioned he chose aesthetic spots for the cuts when he came to see me later that day. <3

    Village Hall parking lot (police station, town offices, library, and busy track/ball field). :blush:

    There seems to be an epidemic. ;)

    Congrats on the visible signs of weight loss! <3

    Oh OP, sorry but that's so funny 🤣

    I realised last night that I'm using a lot less body lotion than I used to. Mine is in a pump dispenser and 2 pumps used to be enough for feet to knee, now those 2 pumps do the whole leg 😁 Same with my arms and torso, it used to be 5 pumps, now it's 2 😊

    It's those little non scale victories that can keep you going! :smile:

    I’m only a few kg away from my target now but my body composition has started changing a lot. Interesting

    That's probably just your brain finally catching up with the losses. Since we see ourselves in the mirror daily, it takes a while to sink in an really notice how much things have changed.

    Your running pants knew it all along! :wink:

    I changed my workout to include strength recently so it’s that.

    Not to mention drawstrings.

    I had my undies fall down once. I was in my kitchen alone so no trauma to anyone.

    I've never lost them completely, but every so often I end up doing an exercise class and spend more time concentrating on holding up the leggings than anything else!
