  • OK, so my body hasn't changed much. I can still easily wear the same clothes and when I had to buy new work clothes...went up a few sizes. Blows, but...I do love my...sucked in stomach. Yes, I know...my sucked in stomach-I think that I can suck in a little more than I used to!
    OK so I was suckin in at the gym bathroom mirror and totally checking myself out when a yoga instructor looking lady walks in and goes "Hi" and there I was, with my shirt half lifted up, checking out a clearly sucked in stomach!!
  • I totally check out my sucked in stomach too. I do the same thing with my cheeks. "Will my cheekbones look this defined when I'm thin? Hmm." I'm sure she was not too surprised!

    I don't have any embarrassing moments related specifically to weight loss, but I do have one (or many, lol) related to weight - one of the worst was in college when I went out drinking with some friends and just got completely trashed. I threw up all over the dorm bathroom (lovely) and they had to come get me and make me take a shower. I was super out of it so I just undressed down to my bra and underwear while they were watching and hopped right on in! Uggg, I was so embarrassed the next morning (for multiple reasons) - I typically never let anyone see me naked and I get clothes that hide my bulges and rolls! I guess at least I didn't take it all off? /facepalm
  • Oh man, I have an embarrassing moment. When I weighed around 240, my friend and I went shopping. I absolutely HATED shopping because nothing ever fit me and I looked terrible in dressing room mirrors. Well, I found a dress that I thought would fit, it was an XL. I knew when I put it over my head that I shouldn't have forced it down around my waist and hips because it was super tight. Well, I couldn't get it back off. I panicked and tore it to get it off. I could have died. Everyone in the store heard that loud rip. Of course I paid for the dress, and never returned to that store. How EMBARRASSING!!
  • one time i was running on the treadmill and i didnt know what the red stop pull thing was for so i pulled it but i was still running and i ran into the front of the treadmill and fell off.
  • Lol, all of these are too funny. Nice to know we aren't alone!

    I was working at a senior home and I was pretty broke so I just got scrubs from Goodwill cause they were cheap- a bti tight but they were cheap. So, I was working and changing one of the women on the toilet seat. I squatted down to pull off her diaper and there it went. The whole crotch of my scrubs ripped...and guess what else? I don't wear panties unless it's TOM. Yep, my personal lady parts are all getting a nice breeze haha. I told my boss and she was all oh it's okay no one will notice. I of course did not tell her I don't wear panties! I left shortly after to change.
  • Ok, so I am really self-conscious of my mid-section because I have no butt and my legs are sticks and I gain all of my weight in my mid-section. I went to the doctors for a physical related to an internship I was starting. I had to strip down to my underwear and bra and put on a gown. The doctor came in and tested my strength and such and then he had me bend over to touch my toes. Well I did not tie the back of the gown so when i did, the gown flew out in front of me (exposing my belly at its worst-bent over) and my immediate response was to crouch down very quickly. It was so awkward and the doctor laughed!!! I was humiliated. It did not help that he was really hot and like 37 years old or something. Not my best moment...
  • I have a funny excercising story...I always have to fart when I start to workout...I don't know why (I think it's because my body moves around all the gas bubbles in me or something.) and when I have to do squats it just comes out. NEVER FAILS even if i'm running on a treadmill or running outside try holding your butt cheeks in while running doesn't work to well. Their not silent farts either they are LOUD! haha. I don't think they're smelly tho, one time it was and I was with my trainer. Whooops haha.

    I fell off the treadmill too but not like that. I was trying to fix my i-pod and tripped.... I tripped again (another day) when sweat got in my eye and blinded me... Luckily the second time I didn't scrap up my leg.

    Bahahaha, sorry but this is hilarious!!

    MiZTaCCen - ME TOO!! One time I was running by the canal and there are usually a few runners about on a weekend. I looked behind me to see if anyone was coming and I let one rip. Like 2 seconds later some guy who was running super fast overtook me, and he had no iPod so he would've heard it!!

    I think my one face-palm moment came from when I was abroad in America and eating loads of stuff and I said to my boyfriend "I think your Mum is shrinking my clothes, they're all really tight." Yeah...that was ME that was expanding not my clothes shrinking o_O.
  • One time I was running on the treadmill & started to feel a little light headed. I chalked it up to just needing to keep pushing myself.. oh it's nothing. Haha. Nah, I was dehydrated & I blacked out... yeah. That was interesting. Lol
  • i split my favorite pair of jeans in dance class. i know i know what the heck was i doing wearing jeans in dance anyways right!?!? well they were stretch denim so i thought i could get away with it. ended up needing to wear my sweater for the rest of the day around my waist to cover the huge hole. what sucked is dance was at 8am.... first class of the day >.<
  • I have a story from my first week of C25K that happened just this week.

    Since I'm on a grad school budget, I do everything I can to put off buying new clothes. Luckily I have lots of smaller shirt/jeans to fit into that I've kept, but not so much for underwear. I did buy some smaller ones, but still sometimes wear my old ones from 80lbs ago Normally its fine that they are so baggy, but I discovered that huge underwear and jogging do NOT go well together. It felt like they were going to fall down and take my gym pants with them the whole time! I actually had to carry my Ipod, since the weight of it made everything worse.

    So yeah, lesson learned. Always wear underwear that fits when you run
  • Sooo I went to a fancy shoe store today and they had me run on a treadmill (those scare me) on camera! I had to turn away...I have long thighs and stocky short calves and my socks were so high up. Anyways, I was running and the salesman (who was not bad looking, and that athletic type I'm into) was like "I think that you need lighter shoes because you aren't *super* overweight" and I think I gave him a look cause then he went "uh not overweight?"
    Then I said that the treadmill was making me nervous because I didn't want to go "all bridget jones on him and fall off"
    and then I saw the price of the shoes $105! and they only give store credit. I would pay that much for great sneakers...but I would really have to think about it, especially because I know that I will lose weight in my feet.
    Then I was like "I swear, if I buy them, I will let them know you helped me Chris-you are Chris right"
    "Actually I'm Brandon. There's nobody named Chris here"
    Then I gracefully go "bwahahah whoops I just totally made that up!"
    Yah no chance of a date there lol, unless he likes not *super* overweight ladies
  • My fiance and I were staying in a hotel for a month and they had their own full gym. We would go around 6pm and there would be about 9 other people in there. Anyway, I remembered once when I was at my biggest (220) I tried to do a hanging leg lift and it was not happening. Well, now that my core was stronger, I wanted to try again. Well, I did and I could do it, so I kept it up to do a full set. At about #8 I felt a tingly sensation in my lady parts and by #12, I had my very first coregasm. My face was flustered and I didnt know what to think. I waited and tld my fiance when we got back to the room. We had a good laugh.
  • OMG Swoody! I have never heard of a coregasm. I actually had to go look this up and can I just say OH MY GOD! That's motivation enough to make me go to the gym.
