Lose weight in feet?



Recommended Posts

I have a nice pair running shoes. Since I bought them I have lost 115 pounds. They seem really big now and when I run my feet move around.

Anyone else experience this? When I asked someone if its normal she looked at me like I was crazy.

When I lost weight my feet got smaller, too. Not in terms of length, but overall, yes! I wear birks and used to have them on the last hole and they'd still dent my feet (water retention). Now, I've taken them in 2-3 notches and they feel just fine.

I just experienced this recently! I thought people were crazy. I have wide feet but not fat and always had slim ankles. I'm down 140 and was excited to try to wear heels again because I have SOOO many! However, last week I wanted to wear heels to work and tried on three pairs before I found one that I THOUGHT fit. It sounded like I was wearing flip flops walking down the hallway and looked like a little girl playing dress up. I bought a super cute pair of black booties this weekend, a full size smaller.

Lol....yes, I've had this happen after many mass yo-yo weight losses in the past. The clothes i could handle, but there were always shoes that I wish I could have still worn after the weight loss.

I have had this experience also. Before I gained all the weight I wore between an 8 and 8 1/2 in a shoe. After i gained weight I went up to a size 10 in a shoe. Now I am between and 8 and 9. I just bought new tennis shoes about 6 weeks ago and they getting to big already.

I gained shoe sizes as I gained weight. So happy to have lost a size and half. I am back in my 6.5!

More weight pressing down on your feet will make them wider, but also longer because our arch will flatten out to a small degree. Lose a bunch of weight and the arch could rise, making the foot shorter.

Yep! I'm down 80 lbs and almost a full shoe size. In addition, my pain from plantar fasciitis has just about disappeared. Yay for smaller feet!

Yes, I went from a 9 or 9.5 wide to an 8.5 medium already...and I'm not done losing. It sucks because I had a ton of really nice wide-calf boots that are not only too big in the leg, but in the feet as well. I have about 2 pair of shoes I can wear and no money. :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
