I'm seeing a slimmer look between my hip bones and saddlebags this past week

I look like a muffin top over saddlebags here!

Seriously, weight loss can be funny at times in how it really shapes your physique as you slim downward!

Is this a normal part of the weight loss process for people slimming from morbid obesity to thinness? *I've been overweight since childhood so I don't have any memories of being thin.*

I've discovered how susceptible my hip bones (ASIS - anterior superior illiac crest to be exact) are to getting hit and bruised.

It's not really funny though.. just painful

I was always apple shaped, now I'm a pear. I never thought I was hippy, but now that's all I worry about when buying clothes.

It's exciting for me because I've never been slim either. I think I'll be pretty much the same shape tough because my weight has always been very nicely distributed. (I HOPE) because I'm an hourglass now (i think)

Well You are absolutely right. Weight loss has great effects on the body -largely around the hip area.
May be you need to see a trainer to make out a picture perfect body.

Good luck

It is funny to see how the weight melts off in certain areas first so you do look a bit *weird* to yourself No worries everything will catch up soon enough!

Hip bones are my favorite bones I had no idea they existed before!

It's funny too because my skin is so saggy that I am thinner around the hips than I would normally be at my weight, so they really stand out.
