Hey everyone!!! I just realized something........I have a neck!!! I work for a Time Warner Cable and we are always having special things going on. Today we have a rep from Showtime come in and had a race car driver with her. The driver was signing autographs and taking pictures with employees. So I decided to take a picture with him. Well when I got the picture I compared it to my wedding picture that I have on my desk. Lo and behold.....I have a NECK and have discovered what shoulder blades are!!!! Isn't it the funniest things that you notice when you start to loose weight??

WHOO HOO!! NecksRus. I know what you mean. I found mine not long ago as well.

Isn't it amazing Lioness. LOL. I am still early in my banding progress but I always get amazed when I am sitting and see what might actually resemble knee caps instead of big round rolly lumps. I can definitely tell looser clothes but am always trying to see hints of thinning (besides my hair that is). Great job!!!

Yeah, Carmen! Now you can buy some sexy tops to show that neck off! Wow, you've done an amazing job at weight loss!

Interesting. Body parts springing up all over the place. I was in the plane yesterday and kept looking down at my legs. They're longer!! I swear it! Of course, I'm 5ft tall, so they're still just 29 inches long, but I have longer legs!! amazing what that does for my ego..

I have a neck too! Since I discovered this, I've been buying necklaces like crazy. I've always wanted a neck!!!

Leatha, will my legs really get longer? I won't have to get out the sewing machine and hem every pair I buy? You'll be posting a pic in stilettos next thing we know. And Teresa will be wearing mini skirts to show off her knee caps! I felt hardening on both sides of my band and thought something was wrong a few days ago. But it was ribs. I have ribs!

WOO HOO CARMEN!!!!! It's easy to forget what's under there isn't it!!!! I am loving watching old body parts emerge!

I know, isn't it cool discovering body parts?? My wrists have a new dimension--they're no longer just round--and there's this lump on the outer edge of each one that my husband tells me is a bone. I think he's playing with my head.

I can, however, frequently be found absently tapping my collarbone with my fingers. It's what I do instead of chewing my nails when I'm thinking. I love it!

You are all doing so great! I love reading about your losses, and looking at your before and after pictures.

Carmen - Who was the race car driver you took a picture with?

Betty

A neck! I want one too!

Nancy

I have a thing for my collarbone too. lol. I also find myself feeling my shoulders. There are bones under there too and I can actually shave my legs or cut my toenails now without passing out cause my oxygen is cutoff. I can even look at the backs of my legs. I have scars back there I haven't seen since the 70's. lol.

Amazing what can keep me entertained.

hehe!

My husband has a thing for rubbing my hipbone when we cuddle in bed. oh! oh! and the ribs too!

Makes me feel proud!

Isn't it the best motivator!!Good for you Carmen!

Chantal

LOL!!! All these body parts!!! I can't wait to get banded, I so want a neck and a jawline... But mostly I want my boobs to gone!!!

Good luck with the boob thing. I've never lost mine, ever.

I've lost 48.5 pounds so far, and I swear 30 of it was in my boobs. I've lost 6 inches there...but only 3 around my enourmous hips! I'm going to have to have liposuction and a boob job, I'm pretty sure. The sad thing is that it's getting harder to find clothes, not easier! My hips are a size 26, but my top is a 18/20. I'm ok with it, just think it's funny and just a little ironic.
