    I kind of like baggy panties- better than having them roll down below my belly, which is what they used to do!
    I feel you on the panties.

    My shoes are too big now???? I swear I've gone down about 1/2 a shoe size. Just enough to be slipping out of many of my favorite high heels, and I'm a shoe freak. I was NOT expecting that.


    Yes you are so right! My boobs went from a D cup to a C cup. However, My booty and hips are nothing leaving me! However, I want my boobs back took me forever to get them.

    So, I guess i will have all booty and hips and no boobs! Lard....

    Downsides to weightloss.....

    - can't shop at my favy plus size store
    - i'm c-c-cold
    - my smaller butt makes sitting on the poty less comfortable
    - when I walk around in my nightgown I feel breezes in spots that I never felt breezes (oh gosh, perhaps another TMI!) adding to the "i'm cold factor"
    - I keep wondering what these lumps are...they're bones, not use to feeling my bones. It's been so long since i've felt any of my bones, I keep thinking i'm abnormal.
    - I do not look human when looking at myself naked in the mirror. I may be part alien.
    - do I really need to see my feet?????

    When your "middle age", the wrinkles on the face show more
    The boobs don't hang as low, but they're more wrinkly too
    Loose underwear totally suck!!!! I have to get more
    Yup I need new undies too and my shoes are loose. I needed to tighten my Birkenstocks buckles in two slots on each foot. They were too tight and hurt to wear on the widest hole. Now I love them.

    And I just love the sound of my flabby arm skin slapping the side of my body when I put my deodorant on. Good times! Or walking in the summer and having my flabby thighs slap together now that everything is looser. Sounds like they're giving each other a high five! Sigh.

    The cold really gets to me too. And the shoes. Yeesh! Especially now that it's colder weather and your feet don't swell like they do in the summer!

    Ah, such problems we have!

    My stomach is definitely my worst enemy.

    A C-section, followed by an emergency appendectomy, followed by another c-section.... all within a 3 year time frame, has left my belly looking like some uneven and lumpy sideshow exhibit.

    I already told my husband that if I can lose the weight and keep it off, we are going to have to start budgeting for some surgical intervention.

    I was looking at my scars this morning- I had my appendectomy first (while pregnant!), then my c-section 20 weeks later. My appendix scar is barely noticable, but my c-scar is ugly and lumpy. I still have enough belly that it is hidden, but I think when it is finally visible it is not going to be pretty.

    My belly is still numb- I guess that's with me forever. It's better now that I don't have as much real estate, but it's still there.

    Deflated boobs...not great at 30 years old
    Wrinkly skin
    Jealous friends
    Baggy pants - I have been living in skirts and tights but its going to get really cold soon and I might have to break down and get pants
    Male attention - Guys that didn't want me when I was bigger, now are trying to get my attention.

    But all the negatives can never outweigh that feeling of looking so much better each day that I wake up. Shopping in regular stores vs plus size stores has opened up so many options!

    Well I bought six new pair of underwear today. Boxer briefs! I just got home and tried a pair on. Heavenly and they're 2X down from tight 4X!

    12 years later and my c-section is still numb. Gone forever, strangest darn thing. And oddly enough, the thinner I got - the better the scar looked. It smoothes out a little.

    I can fit all of the clothing that fits me in 1 suitcase. A bit sad, but I really don't mind having less stuff.

    And I put on my fall jacket today, and I look like a kid wearing her mother's coat.
