I dont know that I walk any different, I find sleeping on my side hard, my knees are too bony and they hurt! I certainly sleep more comfortably.

I still overestimate the amount of space I take up and think I wont fit in places I fit easily too.

i do that lol. we went out to eat and i was like oh crap my tummy is going to be almost siting on the table in the booth. lol and i have alot of room i was so happy.

Yep, I have lost a lot of inches after losing 67lbs and I am still having a hard time figuring out my walk. After I stand up it takes me a min or two to adjust. As a matter of fact, I went out on a date and after standing up from the table I started to walk and he said "are you drunk" oh my I was so embarrassed considering that I don't even drink!!! I'm still scared I won't fit in booths at resturants and and the seats at the movies. When I get in my sister's eclipse I wonder is the seatbelt going to fit? I am wondering how I am going to think when I lose the rest of my weight!!!! After I had a breast reduction several years ago, it took me almost a year to adjust to not being able to put my cereal bowl on my chest!!! LMBO!!! I was like how am I going to eat my cereal now!!! Uggg! It finally clicked to use a table like normal people or sit it in my lap if I am sitting on the couch!:)

I have turned into the Princess and the Pea---every little wrinkle in the bed linens or nightgown is like a boulder to me!

I do walk differently--but it's more a measure of confidence than loss, I think. Well, except for the speed. I walk a lot faster than I used to walk!

I think I move very differently, in general. Again, it's indicative of feeling better about myself more than because my body is so different--though good posture is certainly easier to maintain when you don't have the pull of gravity on pounds of flesh.

But my bones---well, ow. I have a bunch of orthopedic issues anyway, and while my joints are tremendously happy with the loss, not everything is. The bony prominences really can be pretty painful.
