Fun thread. You know you lost weight when

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

Your tights start falling down on 42nd street in midtown Manhattan because you wore your older fatter you panties.

When you have to find new ways to position your legs while sleeping because when they are together you can now feel the bones in your knees so it's uncomfortable

I am just starting my weight loss journey. I have my first appointment on October 11th. I am sooooo excited to be able to have stories like these!!!!!

When you see a former coworker and they do a take 2 because they don't recognize you [emoji41]

Very early days for me but people have started saying there is something different about me! I just smile sweetly. For the first time in my life i can't wait for the days to go by

I remember so well that feeling when you know you are putting on weight and it is such a heavy growing sort of yuck feeling. Now is the opposite a sort of lightening feeling without even looking at the scales.

You can fit into your husband's jeans!

We have consolidated a couple of our office buildings recently and I've run into a couple co-workers I haven't seen in a few years. I of course knew them, but they didn't know who I was. So I had to reintroduce myself to them. The last time I saw them I was wearing a size 16 or 18 and now I'm in a 6

When a rather long top grazes the backs of ones legs where there had been no contact before.

Same goes for bumping into/not bumping in to corners or furniture one would previously have had the opposite experience with.

I walked past a friend I hadn't seen in years. He didn't recognize me. So I walked past two more times. Still nothing. I had to walk right up to his face and yell "HEY DAVE, ITS ME, MARK!"

Also walked past my Aunt and Uncle a few weeks ago. They didn't recognize me either. Hadn't seen them since Christmas.

It's not much but for me when I put on my iWatch and was able to put it back to the third notch made me very happy.

I've noticed that too with my watches. I now have to wear them on the third notch if not smaller.

Been so busy, I didn't have time to go for a walk/run for about 3 weeks. I was ridiculously excited when I finally had a day to do it........that would never have happened before!

When your X will literally not look at u! :-) love that one!

Ha ha ha! Live this one!!!!

When you become focused on counting calories in order to prevent further weight loss!!! First time ever in my life!
Or, making sure you cook eggs in real butter and ordering the full fat caramel frapp with whip cream because you need the extra calories. [emoji4]
I'm 18 lbs from my goal weight and have started tracking calories to slow the loss.

How many calories were you eating daily?
