This is true for me, too. I first noticed a month or two ago. I was going through my shoes getting rid of some and tried on several pair that had been too tight to wear but I couldn't bear to get rid of last time I cleaned out because I loved them, and now they fit :D

Yes yes yes! It's impossible do the turn-to-the-side thing when you literally don't have an inch to move in a theater seat! I can't wait to get to that general point where I don't feel like I'm always in the way.

I feel just overall more bony. I have more bones than I'd ever thought I'd need. It looks good in the shoulder area, I do very much so admit that.

I'm not nearly so clumsy! I used to stumble all the time, and seemed to trip over nothing sometimes. To get into our boat the other day, I climbed up to the top of a ladder, grabbed the railing and slung my leg over the railing.....no problem! My husband was all grabbing for me, thinking for sure that I'd take a header onto the driveway, but I wasn't even unsteady! I feel like my center of gravity is keeping me steady instead of pulling me out of control! love it!

Or when you see your granny panties in the laundry basket and think it's a shirt. (I still wear mine, too!)

Oh gosh, I can't wait until my underwear isn't the size of a normal-sized girl's outer garments. I always ball them up an if they fall out of the laundry or something I cringe. So embarrassing.

Seriously....what's the shoe thing about. All mine are too wide now.....not impressed cause they fall off when I walk. Grrr oh well, guess I will just need to buy more. He he

You know you've lost weight when.. you can actually wrap the bath towel around yourself without indecent exposure.

Love these! I did purge all my granny panties, but now my regular bikini briefs have become the new grannies! Back to just wearing things all the time. So much comfier to me.

No tailbone pain, but I do continually wash my jeans and jean shorts, so they shrink up! And I had to suck ot up and have my wedding rings resized after they flew across the room while I was talking to someone at a party. Look out! Lol my feet got smaller, too!

Big ditto on having to hold up pants while working out. My first 8K, I didn't realize my workout capris were getting too big, until we hit the first big puddle (it was a mud run), and after than my pants were sagging. It was awful! Thankfully my friend had the brilliant idea of using the pins from the number tag we wore for the race.

My feet have become much slimmer. The length of my foot has always been 7.5-8, depending on the shoe, but the width was greater than even many wide widths came in, thanks to my foot spreading and being fat. So a lot of shoes I'd have to get even two sizes bigger so they'd be wide enough. Now I'm slipping out of most of those shoes because they are simply too long and too wide.

It's so funny with the shoes thing. With all that I lost I may have gone down a half size at the most. Not enough to toss all of my shoes and buy new ones, that's for sure. I just find that I can fit into more 7.5 shoes than I used to.

This happened to me yesterday dress shopping. Such an awesome feeling! :D

The shoe thing is killing me...I've always had pretty abnormally large feet (11.5 US), and it was hard enough to find shoes back in America...so I brought a ton with me to Japan. Now they're slipping and sliding on my feet and giving me blisters, but at 27 cm, it's still really hard to even spot MEN's shoes here that might fit me, never mind things that I can wear with my suits to go to work. I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and buy some men's sneakers to be my new indoor shoes...all of the other teachers do it, but then again they don't have a company telling them that they need to wear business attire every day, so they also come in in track suits half the time...Augh, it's going to look so ridiculous >.<
