Whene friends start noticing and telling me that " you are lossing weight .

[Ryler832]

When your collarbone starts to show.
When your pants require a belt or when they're too big.
When you get many compliments.
When you love shopping and looking at yourself in the mirror.
And when you go shopping and pick your "usual" size and it's too big.

misstraveller-You look beautiful!!!

[jessica2231]

my underoos keep falling off! ahahahahah! never thought of that before!

[sabri711]

These have already been said, but yea.. seeing your collar bone and chin and kind of amazing... Being able to breath when wearing your jeans... and being able to wear them during TOM...

I personally cant wait to be able to wear a skirt or dress without shorts or tights to avoid chaffing.. but I remember that happening even when I was skinny, so I am not sure if that's possible for my build...

You know you've lost weight when someone doesn't recognize you.

I love to read this thread!

* I shop in stores I never shopped before.

* My cat is going in circle on my lap now, trying to figure out how to fit on there. (Not that there is no room for him but I think he is used to more!)

* My BF calls me Skinny Minny.

* I can run now! And I enjoy it!!!




A bit funny but also annoying:

* Even new pants drop after a few weeks.
* My tail bones HURTS!!
* Sizes I wear now are the first ones gone.

@Isobel - Thank you!! I'm 10 pounds down from that weight, so I'm feelin pretty awesome

@josey - You know what? You are so right!! My tailbone hurts too... I never even knew I had one?!

[IsobelRose22]

This is a bit of a weird one but, I sleep on my side and have noticed that I can feel bones in my knees and ankles that I couldn't before. I've had to find new ways of sleeping as its a bit uncomfortable.

i put on a pair of pants i havent worn in year. "just to see" and they fit good!!!!

[tkdtara84]

misstraveller-- your wedding dress is gorgeous!

I know old thread, but I like it. too many things listed here I have already experienced and a few more that I am looking forward to.

- When you stop feeling the need to 'rotate' where you sit on your couch as to give a cushion 'a break'
- You no longer have to devise a plan on how to pick up that item you dropped under the bed, or worse, leave it there because it is just too hard to kneel to pick it up
- When you start noticing that your hip/rib cage is digging into your mattress when you are trying to sleep (memo to self.. I think I need a new mattress! Tres uncomfortable now without that extra ...ahem... cushioning.)
- Your socks stop cutting circulation off and no longer leave dents in your lower legs.

When you can't sleep on your side because your hipbones hurt, not to mention the kneecaps haha

[sontaikle]

The last time I posted in this thread I believe I was about 25 pounds heavier. I noticed a few more things:

- When I bump my hip into something it hurts!

- My fiancee picks me up ALL THE TIME now. It's a lot of fun Even if we're just walking down the hall, he just grabs me and carries me there. His parents find that quite funny

When your skinny friends tire out before you do.

When one of your boyfriend's friends calls a photo of you gorgeous when you have no makeup on and your hair's not done. (Not that I have enough hair to "do," lolz)

When your double chin disappears and you don't have to do weird positions to hide it in photos (like the 'turtle tuck' they tell you in professional photos... head forward neck tucked. )

When you do 60 minutes of workout instead of panting your way thru 20 minutes and being sore for days.
