skiiny in the strangest places
yesterday I was noticing that my wedding ring was loose. At first I thought
I was just cold cause well, I was. But then today I was cleaning and my ring almost fell off. I decided to look at my hands and I no longer have pudgy fingers. Also, Since I got back to the gym I have been putting my hair up. Something I didn't like doing cause I thought my face looked fat and I had a double chin. As I looked in the mirror today I noticed that my neck looks skinny and long again instead of short and stubby. And that double chin thing I have to put my head in a strange position to see it. It's still there more than I would like it to be, but for the most part, its gone. One more... I have bones in my butt! Hard surfaces are not as comfy as they used to be. To think that I used to take these things for granted. or I guess I would have, had I realized them. Just thought this was interesting enough to share. hugs, Tonya www.lowcarbcrew.com |

says... yesterday I was noticing that my wedding ring was loose. At first I thought I was just cold cause well, I was. But then today I was cleaning and my ring almost fell off. I decided to look at my hands and I no longer have pudgy fingers. YAY! I often clasp my hands just to marvel over how much smaller they are :-) I have bones in my butt! Hard surfaces are not as comfy as they used to be. LOL! Ditto here! I just LOVE making these "little" discoveries! Yesterday I was brushing my teeth in front of the bathroom mirror and noticed that I really needed to shave under my arms. Then it occured to me like a lightning bolt that I previously would have had to deliberately raise my arms up quite a bit MORE to see whether or not the pits needed shaving, not just hold a toothbrush in my mouth :-) This was a particularly nice discovery for me because I now have the infamous "batwings" that can occur after a big drop in weight. This gives me hope that they might (and HAVE) tighten up more than I thought if I can see my armpits that easily :-) -- Saffire 205/149/125 - 5'1.5" Atkins since 6/14/03 Progress photo: http://photos.yahoo.com/saffire333 |

I guess I will have to have the ring re-sized. I don't want to lose it
that's for sure. wish I had thought about removing the double chin in previous pics. LOL thanks for the tip. hugs, Tonya www.lowcarbcrew.com "Cinnamn112" wrote in message ... Hee, congratulations! Are you going to have the ring resized, or something? Can you even do that? I was so happy when my double chin melted away. When I used to take self-pics of me me and friends at parties, I'd raise the camera above my head to get rid of the double-chin, or use Photoshop to get rid of them... but no more of that for me. : ) Jen |

I decided to look at my hands and I no longer have pudgy fingers. I showed a coworker my ring and asked her why the ring was so significant to me - she was expecting a beautiful story about it being an heirloom from a dead grandpartent - so I said "I haven't worn it in 4 years because it didn't fit but now it fits!!!" I think it's still a beautiful story Also, Since I got back to the gym I have been putting my hair up. Something I didn't like doing cause I thought my face looked fat and I had a double chin.

It's still there more than I would like it to be, but for the most part, its gone. I have an 18" pearl necklace that I stopped wearing because it was cutting off my oxygen. I'm hoping to wear it tomorrow night. Eva 5/24/04 200/186/120ish |

He uses a chair pad made out of the silicon gel they use in hospitals. Feels just like flab ;-) You can try searching for gel chair cushions online.

... yesterday I was noticing that my wedding ring was loose. At first I thought I was just cold cause well, I was. But then today I was cleaning and my ring almost fell off. I decided to look at my hands and I no longer have pudgy fingers. Me too. My wedding ring became too lose. I had a spacer put in it. I don't want to get it resized yet because I'm not at goal, and for all I know my fingers could shrink even more. I've never had a spacer in a ring before, it's pretty cool. Kay jewelers put it on for free (we'd bought the ring there 4 years ago), it's adjustable, comfy, and invisible to everybody except me. It's strange the places I'm losing weight. Overall, I look better than I did when I got married Now my waist is smaller, fingers are smaller, face has a better shape, etc... but my thighs are still larger because I can't fit into the pants I wore back then. For some reason I thought the areas of weight loss were more genetic and that I would be the same basic shape I was on the way up, but that hasn't been the case. -- Spring LC since 1/1/04 260/208/170 http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/spr...=/55b8&.src=ph Size: 24W / 14 / 10 |

Maybe there is some strange alien that hangs out in this newsgroup and intentionally changes people's posts to make it look like they don't know the difference between lose and loose. Yes, and that would explain why so many people get it wrong. It's not that they don't know - it's the alien's fault! -- Spring LC since 1/1/04 260/208/170 http://f2.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/spr...=/55b8&.src=ph Size: 24W / 14 / 10 |
