    Stretch marks are turning from red to a silver white or dissappearing! My face looks clearer and less round :bigsmile:

    I think the weirdest thing I have noticed is the back of my neck (at the base) looking slimmer. I wish I new a better way to describe it, but I used to have a sort of fat bump there that I was self-conscious about.

    I have also noticed that some of my shoes that I bought when I was heavier are now too loose to wear.

    I totally have that bump too!! I hate it!

    Wedding rings. (Had them re-sized once, and will have to do it again.)
    My husband being able to wrap his arms all around me. He could barely get his arms around me before.
    Being able to grab my cheeks and flap them around to make that noise from your mouth when you pull back... lol yeah, dont ask about that one ha. But when I had a fatter face my face was filled out and I couldn't pull my cheeks out.

    Other than the usual clothes flapping in the breeze or chillin at my ankles:

    I keep getting head nods or doors opened by guys. Young guys. Cute ones, too. And literally every single time I look behind me like, who's that for?! It's a really weird experience, but I think I could get used to it!

    Does anyone else feel a little taller? My posture has had a definite improvement and I can feel my stomach muscles tighten for balance, too.

    Just got another new sports bra for my new size. Must've picked a really good one because I did a mile and a half of sprints during my regular walk and COULDN'T WAIT TO DO IT AGAIN

    My high cheekbones are a bit more prominent now...people have commented on my face looking thinner :)

    I found a divot on me the other day!!! And not a bad one :P Under my breasts, I have a slight divot starting...my trainer says its my abs starting to show!! The rest of me is still covered in fat, but he said that the fat is less there so it was leaving first. SWEET!!!

    My arms have actual muscle definition now...when I make a muscle something pops out now :P

    I have had to buy new underwear cos the others were baggy, and my jeans are to the point where I MUST wear a belt or they slip.

    I can wear the large scrubs (pants) for work, and sit in them! Before I could only wear the XL and the large were way too tight. I couldn't bend over or squat in them at all.

    And soon I will have to get my wedding ring re-sized...it is so loose atm I have to keep an eye on it. It slides all over my finger now :)

    My shoes are looser! I was amazed. Also, I hardly have any back pain (thank heavens), hip pain, and knee pain is gone! My clothes are definately looser and i can fit into my pre-prego jeans (booty and hips are smaller!).

    Sadly as I put on all this weight I had retired smaller clothing to space bags (you know the ones you vaccum and it all squishes down) and just got bigger clothes. Now, I get to open one from time to time when I should fit into them, hey free clothes:happy:

    My donation pile is getting bigger :happy: I'm still hanging on to one outfit from my heaviest so I can take the "slimfast" picture with me simply swimming in fabric.

    I don't have to twist my wedding ring back on my hand after changing my daughter.

    but the most interesting is I've lost a fair amount of padding in my pelvic area. This has effectively increased my.... um.... size, in the pelvic area if you know what I mean. My wife benefits.:flowerforyou:

    IMO, I think this thread is the best ever.....Wish there was a way that it could be made a sticky so it's always up the top for everyone....Be good for newbies to read first of to see.....

    A big congratulations to one and all on your success of losing weight and feeling the best ever....

    I can wear my hair in styles that used to look ugly on me. I've never been able to put my hair up, but now it looks alright :)

    The driving seat in my car isn't as comfortable as it used to be. It hasn't changed, but I'm now lacking the padding that used to be there.

    I have a pair of cargo pants that I bought years ago - I loved the look of them but was never able to fit in them. I didn't throw them out as I was determined to fit in them one day!!

    Well a few weeks ago I tried them on..... Now they are a little loose YAY!!!!

    I have another one..... I have a pair of 6" heels and when I was much larger they hurt my feet and I couldn't wear them (all that weight on the balls of my feet) ouch!!!

    Well Sat I wore them for 6 hours at a party and didn't have to take them off ;0)

    Wooden-backed bar chairs now hurt my spine... there used to be a cushion of fat but now my spine rubs against the back of the chair.

    Haha I totally have this problem xD

    Also the ring my boyfriend gave me is now on a chain around my neck, because it's gotten so big it goes flying every time I move my arm! (I'm afraid to lose it). And I just threw away a brand new bikini because my boobs shrank :(

    But I'm still stoked about my weightloss! ^^

    I no longer have the "side bow" when tying my tennis shoes....knee to chest and the bow is on the TOP of my shoe rather than the side.....some of you know what I'm talking about ;-)

    This is a great thread! Good job everyone!
    Mine are:
    • Had to buy all new underwear and pants (as the weight came off my butt first and then my hips/waist).
    • Went down three belt holes to the smallest one which is already too loose!
    • My legs are smoother.
    • I have the tiniest bit of definition starting to show on my top two abs.
    • I looked at my driver’s license and was shocked by how much bigger my face used to be!
    • After two months I finally hung the full length mirror in my new place – walked past it naked and actually stopped to really look because my body looks so different! I’m so close to having a flat tummy and being bikini-confident!
    • Starting to see my hipbones when I lay down.
    • No longer out of breath at the top of the stairs at work.
    • My Mom hugged me the other day and said “There’s so much less of you to hug now!” I responded with “Maybe you need to start hugging me more often!”
    • My brother said I was looking “pretty thin”. This is big to me as his comments are what made me determined to lose weight.
    • Fitting into lots of my old clothes that I luckily put in storage!

    I'm pretty proud of myself!
