Can you feel weight loss?
I swear I can. In another thread I commented on feeling cold (which a lot of you do too on deficit days) but I also get this feeling in my gut (not hunger) where I carry most of my weight when I *think* I am actively burning fat. Could all be BS but I notice this more on those days when I lose versus those when I don't.
Comment.

This is an interesting thread, and I can't wait to see what other people think.
Bizarrely, I almost always start to feel fatter when I'm losing weight. I think I mentioned this before in another thread, but I think my brain recognises a change in my body and just assumes I have put weight on so it makes me feel fatter (thanks, brain ). I'm usually down in the doldrums, ready with a big bar of chocolate when I step on the scales and find I've actually lost weight and just feel fatter. I do hope this goes away eventually. Whenever I feel thinner I've usually stalled or put weight back on. Go figure.

Alright, I'm guna sound crazy but oh well. I picture each fat cell having a teeeeeeeny tiny hose attached to it, all of them leading to my stomach. And SLOOOOOWLY the fat gets sucked out of those fat cells, as I eat in a deficit. That kind of "fat burning feeling" you described, ya I feel that too! And I picture allll the fat cells slowly being drained as I have that feeling.
Lettin' all my crazy hang out here.

I get so itchy around my stretch marks, the same way I was itchy when I gained the weight. I'm hoping it's itchy because the skin is shrinking back to a smaller size.
I wonder too when my weight falls off my body. I get weighed on Monday for my official weigh-in day, then the scale doesn't budge til at least Friday or Saturday and then it's D-Day again on Monday and I can be down anywhere from 2-3.5lbs. So when did it leave the building?? A little at a time or it gets chopped off at once??
Interesting thread, Ian!

I like ezkadee often feel "bigger", or even bloated as I'm actively losing weight. Then when I'm leveling off for a few days I feel smaller. When I workout doing lite cardio like walking tho I get all tingly especially in my thighs and I swear its my fat cells sizzling away lol.

I can. I feel hungrier at night and imagine everything burning up. I've lost 4 pounds (I was about to write "only" 4 pounds but there ain't nothin' "only" about it) and I could tell when the most recent half pound came off.

Like seagirl, when I'm hungry at night and I pee a lot during the evening/night, it's pretty guaranteed that I'll have a big loss in the morning.
That's the only weight loss I can actually feel.

I'm a woosher, so like CaliDoll I know I should expect a drop when I go to the bathroom all night. Also my body likes to psych me out with major cravings and being super hungry a night before a drop. I use to give in to the craving before I realized what was happening, but not anymore!

I have this same feeling! I like to think of my cellulite-y thighs in terms of tectonic plates shifting and fitting together better. I'm pretty sure they're just muscle spasms but it feels positive, nonetheless!

I love this! I'm totally going to visualize hoses draining my fat cells now.
Ian - Not me, I don't "feel" weight loss. The only thing I feel right now is like eating

I can't tell at all prior to stepping on the scale. There are times when I've thought that I was gaining and I lost. There have been other times when I was sure I was losing and I gained.

Oh I can feel it. It's cold and hungry. I get colder and colder and then have an unbelievable hungry day where I am tempted to overeat, big time. Almost without fail a big weight shed follows. Then I have a week or two of bouncing around the same pound before it repeats. Hormones are at least partially to blame in my case. I am effectively hypothyroid now, which exacerbates the cold issue, and my progesterone surges during my cycle are responsible for the bouncing/drop. There's a direct effect on my metabolism with each
