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. :)

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
