So I'm down from 337 to 196. And that's been great. But there are constant adjustments. Some of these adjustments are... awkward. This is straight up male TMI info coming up so you have been warned.

For instance, my entire adult life, my uh, business, let's call it, fit into underwear and pants a certain way, and sat a certain way. It was weird enough when I had to switch sizes on underwear over and over, then switch styles, finally settling on medium sized Adidas boxer briefs that manage to keep everything where I'm used to/comfortable with it, even without the help of a bunch of excess body fat pushing it outward... while I am standing anyway.

But the latest thing--and I am truly sorry for bringing this up, but where the heck else am I going to talk about this?--is that it turns out that the change in my body shape now means I am sitting on my family jewels. Well, not on them, but they rest on the chair/seat now. OK, well not on the chair, but resting much lower than I am accustomed, such they they feel like they are. They used to sort of rest on my fat/splayed out thighs. This is truly weird and I'm still not used to it. It's making me think I need to find another kind of underwear again.

Saxx underwear... A little pricy, but hunt the sales they are well worth it!

Someone here recommended these a while ago, and they work pretty good - not as good as being nekked, but help keep things under control when ya gotta be presentable to society -

Enjoying reading this thread. I can’t imagine what all your husbands think, they’re probably wondering what the heck we talk about on this website. I’ve found that boxer briefs keep everything secure, but as the weight comes off you have to keep up with the sizes so they fit right. Things certainly change as the weight comes off...

These have some funny /// interesting reviews on Amazon and are suppossed to be really good: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AIEHT5M/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_27?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

Laughed out loud at this thread. And it’s not just men. I now have a thigh gap (say waat?) and I will get a drift of wind between my legs and be like “what the heck?”

Last night I was at dinner with friends and keep feeling something poking me. It was my bones! I could actually feel my bones on the chair.

And the poor boobs. My husband is big time on the “when can you get plastics?” train.

Thanks for the laughs! And I really do hope you got some tips on briefs to try.
