Fun thread. You know you lost weight when

You have to get new shoes because they are to wide for the feet.

TMI.... When you suddenly have a baggy bra!! I can't believe it. But it is true! The sides gap outward! Hallelujah!

When shopping for a swim suit no longer makes you feel suicidal or ashamed---or like eating your weight in Peanut Butter cups.

(Okay, I still hate seeing how my thighs pouf on the outside and sag with wrinkles on the inside, but it's just that one part!)

You know when you have lost weight when your left boob pops out while doing the backstroke, swimming. Swim suit too big need to buy a smaller one..

When your NUTRITIONIST does not recognize you!

When ur boobs can fold :-)

When ur boobs can fold :-)

LMAO!!!

You can jump on your kids trampoline and it doesn't break.????

You truly now have the body of an athlete, before you did too, but unfortunately it was that of a Sumo wrestler.

You can cross your legs!

I have really enjoyed reading the responses to my post the last few years, hard to believe it is going on over 3 1/2 years.

I had my ups and downs with a depressive episode but still on track and now took the next step. I got a tummy tuck and liposuction. Feels good to get rid of the arm rests and to sit in a chair look down and see the chair and not the hanging wall of loose skin. It is really nice to move my arms down my sides and not have the folding fat stop my arms from moving all the way down my sides or having the folding stomach flab hold up my folded arms.

Post op only 2 weeks and with the tummy tuck it takes 3 months for all the swelling to go away, I can now fit into my Slim Fit dress shirts. You don't really lose inches or weight except that which they remove (10 lbs of skin and fat) in the short run (back to waiting for swelling to go away). Short term results great and long run is looking very good.

While I can't relate to folding boobs from the sleeve surgery. From a guy perspective with the tummy tuck I can say it helps get a trim tummy, sews the muscles to get a six pack ab set and the tightening lifts the personal area a little higher position. So guys think about the saving for the next part of the process. I can tell you this much, I like the look and my girlfriend is quite appreciative and likes the results

Keep up the replies, they are fun to read.

When your boss says your lab coat now looks like one of those 'flying squirrel' suits when it used to be tight on you.

When you can tie your shoes in the car - with the seatbelt on.
