I remember seeing a post like this a while back but couldn't find it, so I figured I'd start another one.

What's the strangest thing about your body that has changed b/c of weight loss?

Mine is my butt bones :laugh: . When I was young, very young, I was all knees and elbows. Whenever I would sit on anyone's lap they would, more often than not, push me off b/c my butt was so bony :laugh: Lately, whenever I sit on a hard chair or the floor I can actually feel my butt bones LOL. I can also feel my hip bones starting to find their way to the surface lol.

    I can now see my collar bones. Something that I have not seen in long time. I no longer have a 2nd chin either and can't say that I miss it :laugh:

    Yup, that would have to be my weirdest and most irritating. I have to hold the razor at all sorts of angles to get everything smooth because I have a huge crevasse in there now.

    And my head looks sort of funny on my neck now. I kind of look like I have a bobble-head when I'm doing sit ups on the decline bench. :frown:

    the bobble-head mental image cracks me up!

    I have a neck now, which is kind of new. And, my stomach is like a slowly deflating balloon. :noway: Still, I am very glad it is deflating. Also, that oh so cruel flap of skin under a woman over 40s arm.

    Don't feel bad about the flap of underarm skin. I'm 26 and have that!

    Thanks, not comforting but it is a large club, isn't it? :laugh: When I was a kid, about 100 years ago, my grandmother was sitting on the couch with my brother and I. She had her arm up on the back of the couch and he pointed at that lovely flap and said, with eyes as big as saucers, "Wow, grandma, you have a BIG muscle!" :laugh: :laugh:

    I lost my butt shelf. That was the first thing to go. And now i have a "skinny" band above my knee, and it stops and then there's a good 2 inches more of flab above it all the way up. So it looks like I've wrapped my leg in something to make that part skinny. Just strange!

    for me i won't say that it is weird just usually the exact OPPOSITE of what girls have happen. i have above average size boobs as it is and when i lose weight the still don't get smaller. so even when i do lose weight i still feel like i look fat in clothes cause my chest is just OUT THERE.

    also i don't have much of a rear but unlike my breasts when i lose weight my butt dissappears even more. not fun.

    what do i have to do get a rear end? lol

    Well you said Weird so

    If I work our really hard lifting weights, a few days later I get these weird bumps. Someone said that is the muscle tearing and repairing........but man it is weird!

    LOL! I can relate to the bobblehead thing. I took a picture and couldn't believe how big my head was!

    two things

    my forearms are defined and I didn't know until one day at body pump I looked down and thought "who's arm is that?" :laugh:

    Most disturbing is my legs are getting pretty tone from all the running but I swear it has all moved up to my hips...ergh :grumble:

    The thing that surprises me the most is my ring size. I have worn the same size ring forever, since I was about 14 years old. I gained weight, had babies and always wore a size 7 ring, even when 9 months pregnant. Now my rings would fall off if I didn't have the jeweler put a thing on it to make it smaller... the name of which I can't come up with to save myself.....

    I would love it if my feet would get smaller! As I have gained weight, they have grown. I am hoping that as I lose, they will spring back into shape.

    I feel you! My boobs never get smaller! Even when I was nineteen and at my goal weight(125), I was still packing D's. On the other hand, my butt never seems to change! I could wear size five jeans but had to go for size large shirts just to make sure I had chest room. I just wanna be proportionate!:sad:

    I lost a lot of my boobs with weight-loss but pregnancy is bringing them back for a bit! :wink: :laugh:

    I enjoy having bones of any kind.

    I am enjoying actually seeing the shape of pregnancy and not having it get lost in my heavy body like it did last time.

    I no longer look like a cabbage patch kid! I still have cheeks (can't seem to get rid of them no matter what I do) BUT it's not quite cabbage patchish. Though by the end of the Summer, it might be!:laugh:

    Oh no...the dreaded the arm that keeps on waving thing..... I was in the truck with the window down and happened to look in the side mirror and I swear my armpit has rolls....and my flapping arm hangs half in half out the window. I am doing great day 3 of new lifestyle ( I refuse to call it a diet) yet I haven't added the exercise piece to it yet!! I tell ya the armpit thing was sure a motivator!!! YUKEEEEEE!!!!!:blushing:
