Interesting ways you've noticed you're losing weight...

Actually standing up straighter because I dont have big lumps of fat to try and balance out and weighing me down!
Not having VBL - Visible Bra Line - on my back any more - always was used to seeing a roll of fat above my bra line, yuck
Trying on clothes in shops and laughing that they are too large - still used to buying larger sizes...
Realising that I am actually rather a small frame... Not large at all once the layers of fat have disappeared...
Definitely washing face feels different!
I have collar bones and not so much padding around my decollete area!
doing weights, squats and lunges means I now have a proper shaped bottom! My husband refers to it as "peachy" :-)

I've noticed several things -

I started having terribly uncomfortable shaves (I shave my face and my head), and not just razor burn, but actual nicks and cuts.
NEVER have I had that problem. Turns out, I have entirely new contours on my face, including an actual JAWLINE, and I hadn't changed the pattern and routine I have had for 15 years to compensate for having a differently shaped head and face.

I don't gasp for air any more when bending over to tie my shoes while sitting.

And I no longer have severe sleep apnea. As a result of THAT, I no longer have narcolepsy.

Pj

Here's one that I noticed at about 20 pounds lost: My *kitten* no longer unbuckles my seatbelt when I turn right! Woo-hoo!

This one made me laugh out loud!!!

That is so awesome! Great job! OK I did this wrong... That was for the person that bought the swim suit-and everyone else.
As I am sitting here typing with my foot up on a box, when I put my hand on my leg I feel actual hard muscle... My family all have thunder thighes-I really don't think I have ever felt thigh muscle before. I think the iggest thing is my reflection and photos and even my shaddow. I think I spent the last 20 years avoiding looking because it was just too painful. I can look now. Its not what I see in the magazines but I am ok with myself again. Thats a really good feeling. To the person that said they are getting hit on more-That one I am still waiting for (LOL). I am glad that when we go to the amusement park the next time I won't have any fear of being too big for the seats and being told I can't ride. That never happened but the constant fear was there. I love that my rings are not only turning themselves around on my fingers but there is no fat sicking out on the sides of the rings at all. I am comfortably in size 10 jeans. I have not been in a size this small since I was a teenager (and I am 53). I stopped wearing french hook earings because I kept loosing them. The fat was pushing them out of the hole. I can comfortably wear them again without fear of loss (and they look really cute!) The cold thing is big. I have never been cold before. I have a very physical job (PC tech) so with running around a big building often carrying computers, monitors, etc heat is never a problem. I am wearing a jacket now. I can put my foot on my knee to tie my shoes. When I stomp on cans to crush them I cant smash them as flat. I have a belt that now wrapps all the way to my back. People look me in the eyes.

My shirts don't poof up in the middle anymore! I used to wear flowy loose shirts to try and hide that my belly was bulging out, but was still embarrassed that my stomach would still push them up, I could see it sticking out even though they were all supposed to be loose around the middle. Now those same shirts hang right off me, they go straight down with no bump! Also, now that neither my poofy tummy or thick thighs are in the way, I can see my feet looking down, not just my toes when I'm leaning forward a bit :ohwell:

This just happened to me tonight. I had a zumba class and while I was working out my rings were sliding all around. I almost stopped to take them off.

I can wrap my thumb and middle finger of my left hand around my right wrist and they touch. I can wrap my thumb and middle finger of my right hand around my left wrist and they are less that a quarter inch from touching. Also, my favorite slip on shoes slip off a bit too easily

Oh, just remembered another one while I was in the shower. I noticed that shaving my armpits is considerably easier without having to maneuver around all the fat folds.

Totally!! Same with shaving my legs, my knee boobs don't get in the way :bigsmile:

I also experienced that butt thing. I don't have as much padding back there as I used to and now I gotta find new ways to sit down on flat surfaces or else I get my tailbone.

I just started loosing weight. 12 pounds so far. My pants are not as tight as they usual are. I can't wait for someone to say,
" Tom, have you lost weight?" When people notice, then I know I have made progress.

Apart from the obvious of having to pull the belt up another notch, or two, on my jeans.... The back pockets are now half way down my legs, when they used to be on my *kitten*.

wearing some old sweatpants with a knotted tie I was jogging outside @ the local high school track late at night. stopped to take a drink of water and the sweatpants slipped down to my ankles. :embarassed:

Great question!!

1). My legs don't jingle when I walk anymore!
2). Apparently I'm now a smaller shoe size.
3). My double double chin is slowly disappearing!! (Thank god)
4). I have way more stamina!! I remember going on a 9km cycle 2 years ago and it took me over 45 minutes, I now can complete the same cycle in 22 minutes!! I am probably most proud of that!!

The would be embarrassing if I had any shame. But I don't so let's continue. I have the worlds longest @ss crack. Seriously it goes half way up my back and it's always hanging out. I've always covered it with long tops today I was bent over a bit whilst sweeping and I felt the tell tale breeze on my back so I reached back to pull up my trousers and realised it was just back. No crack!! I'm very excited that my bum crack is receding !! Haha
