    My wedding rings are much looser, and I think my shoes are a bit looser. Would prefer to lose it from hips than my hands and feet, but meh, I'll take it. :tongue:


    I haven't been able to wear my wedding ring on my left hand since my first year of marriage 22 years ago and now it fits! Don't know why I never had it re-sized just stubborn I guess and perhaps never gave up hope I could wear it on the left hand again...

    I just go new uniforms and "bunker gear" in March and now the department is having to spend money all over again to have it all replaced because it looks like (as others have told me) that "I borrowed my big brothers uniforms". I don't have a big brother but the compliments are welcome just the same. And oh by the way that is about a $4K investment that the department is happy to make.

    My pair of work pants and my old jeans that I use to wear "all the time", fall down if I don't wear a belt, and the thighs in them folds over a good amount

    I have gone down a shoe size (I guess even my feet are skinnier)
    And yesterday the guy at the cafe I go to a lot literally didn't recognise me

    When I had my babies (and gained weight!) my shoe size went up twice. As I've been losing weight I'm surprised to see my shoe size has gone down a 1/2 size. Never really knew this could happen!

    My wedding rings are so loose on my finger. I am excited about this because I had to have them resized after my first child so I could actually wear them. 10 years ago!

    One of our guest bedrooms is so small that when I would change the sheets on the bed I could barely fit behind the rails (very close to the wall) so I would squeeze my stomach and turn my hips sideways to get behind it. Now, I can fit comfortably back there with stomach/hips with no problem at all. Yeah! Also, my shoes are too big these days.

    I can too! I kept moving my engagement ring and wedding ring along one finger every few months so they wouldn't fall off. I don't actually wear them on my thumb though!

    I have noticed that if i sit or lay on hard surfaces then it's really uncomfortable as i'm more boney now :-D

    This is really weird too but i don't like touching say my arm for instance as i can feel all the muscle etc and it makes me feel a bit squick! It was all fatty padding before lol

    My rings are bigger on both hands
    My underwear I used to be a size 12 but now a 10
    My jeans I can finally fit in them when I couldn't wear them for 5 years
    My coridare pants that I couldn't fit in for 6 years and now I can
    My face and head do look smaller
    I can tell in my shoulders that I have lost weight around there.
    Don't know about my feet yet haven't tried on any new shoes but will probably today
    I used to wear a size 3x but now I can wear a 2x.. I can also fit in a 1x but my rolls show :laugh: But if people like wearing very tight clothes which I will never.

    The steering wheel is a lot farther away from by belly when I'm driving (and my legs are not getting any longer)

    Yep... The standards... Pants falling down, wedding snd engagement rings are loose, fitting into the small clothes I could never wear and the fact that my knuckles are really pointy now whereas they used to be rounder! :)

    Theres several things I guess but the one thing which really sticks to mind is actually my increased level of fitness. Recently I ran up some stairs at work to grab a phone call and noticed that I could conduct the phone call without sounding like I was out of breath. When I was overweight, I'd have to take a sit for a minute or so to catch my breath.

    As embarassing as this is when I sit my tummy is not resting on my legs as much, this is quite noticeable for me. Also, I notice my bum moves different when I walk now as it did before. :blushing:

    All of your stories are great, congratulations on all the weightloss :)

    My feet have lost half a size - it's awesome cause i was always in between sizes.
    Oh, and the other day. Noticed a weird lump on my arm, got a little worried but turns out it was actually just my muscle showing. huh, who new i had any! lol;)

    My pants and shirts are now longer than they used to be!

    Definitely this. I'm tall, and I always complain that they make shirts too short. Uh, no, lose the gut and they're the perfect length. Go figure. (Admittedly, some shirts do shrink and become very short, but most of them do not.)

    I also found that band of my underwear is way higher than my belly button. Time for new ones apparently.

    Here are my 'tells' that the inches are coming off:

    Shirts now fit in the arms and are baggy
    Down one hole on belt
    I was able to buy myself knee high boots (never fit in the calves before) and they are now falling down all the time
    Put on a dress that was skin tight previously and now fits me with room!!!
    My husband said "ooooh nice curves" when grabbing me around the waist
    Shorts now fit which I had outgrown last summer
