I've recently become interested in collar bones. I was flipping through some old pics and I never really noticed or cared that I had them. Now that I don't... apparently the appearance of collar bones are a hug NSV (non scale victory) and symbolize significant weight loss. I'm sure it's going to be different for everyone but I'm just curious at approx. what weight did you start to see them? No matter how I twist and hunch-- I cant find them anywhere! I feel them though-- looking forward to reuniting with them LOL!

I started at 271 and I think mind became prominent after I went below maybe 170, so for me it took a while.

Your question struck me because I was at a race a while ago and some male runners on my team were chatting about online dating, and they said that was how they could tell if a woman was heavy and just working camera angles so her pic looked thin. If they could see collar bones the woman qualified.

Weird!

Collar bones have always been sort of a "marker" for me for weight loss. I have "found" and "lost" my collar bones several times over the years. :-) I am still pre-op right now, but even with the pre-op diet (I've lost almost 20 lbs so far), my collar bones have started to emerge again! So exciting! I weigh 238 right now (I'm 5'8").

I don't remember at what weight my collar bones began to emerge- but boy do I love having them again!!

I don't think I've ever SEEN mine...lol

LMAO! I never thought about it like that... wow the things men come up with to size us up! LOL! Unless their fingers are the size of BANANAS-- I don't think they're qualified .

This is something that totally varies depending on the person. I am pre-op, over 300 pounds, and I can see my collarbones. Not that they're super prominent, but they are definitely visible.

It really depends person to person. I don't think mine stuck out when I weighed in the 120s in college.

I was Sleeved 12 Sep, feeling good, have another day to go before soft foods, can't wait to chew it (small curd of course). I'm a revision, had Lap band, the port flipped, no more constriction I was uncomfortable, had to lift bra to be comfortable, have lost 15 lbs since two weeks before surgery, if you are constipated try a Fleet supository.
