Ok everyone, so what so far has been the biggest indication to you that youve lost weight???? Hubby, being a big guy of 500lbs+ before surgery, when driving would have his chair leaned back slightly and pushed all the way as far back from the steering wheel when driving so he could fit... and rarely wore his seat belt. His belly would be smushed up tight against the bottom of the steering wheel.... We have watched as slowly more and more space appears between his belly and the steering wheel.... because he has so much to lose, things like clothing size etc won't show much loss until he loses a good 125-150lbs... so this has been a really good indicator to us of how much weight he is losing... So what is your's?

Hi Darlene, well I don't think I've had any wow moments yet, but I'm patiently waiting. Oh yeah, the other night my husband said 'wow, look at your wrists, they are so skinney'. I have always had FAT wrists!! donna p.s. I'm thinking a new diamond tennis bracelet is somewhere out there for these little puny wrists of mine - what do you think~!!

Up until last week, it was my wedding ring. I'd play with it every day and feel how much easier it slid on my finger. Last week, I almost tossed it into a toll booth as I fl****d my quarter in. Later that night, it just slid off my hand as I was watching TV. I need a new indicator now

Thats great!!!! Im sure Hubby is going to have the same problem in a few weeks--- were thinking of getting a medic alert chain, and putting it on that until he is down to goal and we can have it re-sized.
