disappearing act...

I seem to have lost my rearend! Last time I looked it was bigger than a barn, and right there filling out my size 22+ pants. My thighs, lovingly referred to as Thunderthighs on a good day... stretched the material of even the widest Wide-leg Palazzo pants. Needless to say I was always sure to have a fire-extinguisher around if I was going to be doing a lot of walking... (Something about friction....) I huffed and puffed, and didn't have much energy. Now, I am walking and riding and have lots of energy, and my butt has disappeard! What is left of it fit into a pair of.... can I get a drumroll please...... a pair of size 14 shorts today!!! Hello! Can this be. I thought for sure someone had sewn the wrong tag in the things!!! Hah! I don't know what that equates to in pounds, but who cares!!! My June goal was to be into a size 14! And I still have two weeks left. Guess I can get rid of the fire extinguisher, and will have to think of a new name for my honed down thighs (and rear)... Now if I can just get the belly to go along with it... Maybe I should take up belly-dancing again... Have a marvelous week! Kelly

Kelly, I remember this happening to me too! It was one of the best feelings I have ever experienced! Congratulations! Molly

I know exactly what you mean Kelly! That is where most of my weight was lost too. In my huge posterior! I hold up jeans now and wonder how my butt will ever fit into them! I bet my arse is about half the size it used to be! I was told the reason we can fit into smaller pants than some people our same weight, is because we are leaner muscle wise. We have less fat but more muscle. I notice that people who have WLS lose weight in there lower region faster, i.e. skinny thighs. At least the people I see personally that have had the surgery anyway. Congrats on the size 14's! You won't be there long! I seem to have gone through a size every month or so lately. And when I am not losing weight, I know the inches are coming off. With all that exercising you are doing, you are gonna be at goal in no time! YOU ROCK GIRLFRIEND!!! Lori

Congrats on the size 14's! Personally I'm hoping that my stomach is the first thing to go, if my butt goes first I will be sooo disproportionate!

If you have lost your rear, check behind your knees. That is where mine is hanging out now. Congrats on meeting your June goal! Life is goood. Hat
