Where are you noticing it?

Just wanted to know where you all are seeing your weight loss. I finally have cheek bones again! I have also lost some of my chest (thank god) but I am not noticing it anywhere. 21lbs seems like so much, you think you would see it more. Oh yeah I am wearing my rings again!!:clap2:

I am noticing it in my clothes now. They are okay just out of the dryer but after a couple of hours I look all droopy. My face and chest and neck is the first place I loose.

My hubby looked at me one day and said wow! you can really tell in your face how much weight you have lost! That was my first nsv! Then my coworkers were making fun of me bc my clothes are too big on me now! But I told them that I was gonna wear them until they fell off!! LOL

I waqs walking with a friend across the park yesterday and my 8 year old son yelled, "Mom, you are already getting skinnier!" I was embarressed, but jumping up and down on the inside. If my 8 year old notices then that's a pretty good sign. When we got to the car I asked him where he thought I was skinnier, and he said in my legs.

I was changing the sheets on my uncle's bed (he lives with me and DH) and he said my A$$ is getting smaller! I had to laugh as I told this 80 year old gent to stop checking out my A$$! He has also told me my face looks thinner. I don't see it myself other than in my clothes.

I'm seeing it in a lot of ways now (41 lbs will do that for you).

- I'm down between 2 and 3 sizes (depending on where I try on clothes). I can't put things in my pockets or my pants fall off! Even the pants that come close to fitting now have that nasty droop in the front crotch area. Eek!

- legs are crossing more easily (still not the ladylike approach but things aren't falling asleep as much)

- the seatbelt buckle doesn't jab my hip any more

- no more double chin and the cheekbones are showing

- collar bones are starting to show and I can almost feel my hipbones

- chairs fit better (I even had extra room in an old theatre chair the other night!

- I'm now doing 3 laps at the dog park relatively easily

- people who don't know I had surgery are noticing

- my brother now calls me "slim" (even though I'm not even halfway yet). I love my brother!

It feels great, doesn't it?!

My SHOES are falling off! Not exactly where I was looking for a loss but I will take it!

In addition, I am no longer resembling a pot-bellied pig! My dress pants for work all look quite funny in the front - too baggy!

This is just great - I am so happy with the band!
