Visible Ribs?!?!

This morning when I was getting in the shower, I caught a glimpse of my back in the bathroom mirror as I stepped into the shower.  I can see my ribs!  Never in my life have I ever seen my rib cage.  Now I'm still considered overweight, so this is very strange.  I no longer have the back fat and rolls under my bra that I once had, but to see ribs?!  That's just crazy.  I seem to be thinner up top than I am from the waist down, because I still have some chunkiness in my upper thighs and in my lower abdomen.  And my cows...oh I mean calves, I think I'll always have those.

Hey Kendra - I had visible ribs the other night  !  They were on my plate at the dinner table until I gave them to someone else cause I didn't want to eat em !   Not to make fun of your post - but that was the first thing I thought of when I saw "Visible Ribs.  I do know how you feel though.  I can see my collar bones - I always thought I didn't have any !   It's amazing how these things mean so much to us. 
Keep up the good work !

Carol,

Cute! LOL
Yes I have collar bones too.  When those first appeared I was fixated on them.  I couldn't stop feeling them or looking in the mirror.

Thank you very much.

How great to see ribs!  I am also bottom heavy.  (Pear shape) The basic shape of your body remains, even after weight loss.  But you know, there are many blues songs written about  us "big legged women" !  You really look terrific! Congratulations!

Rockysmom,

Thank you so much.  I'm hoping to lose a little more in my upper thighs, but I don't think I'm pear shaped.  I really don't know what my shape is, but at least it's not round anymore!

Thank you!

 Carol that was too funny! 

Kendra, that must have been quite the moment to be able to see your ribs.  Yeah for you.  You are indeed an inspiration. 

Katsnewday,

It was an awesome moment.  Now I look everyday.  I don't want them to be too visible that I look sickly though.  If only I could get rid of some more of the fluff I have going on in my thighs...that would be great.

Thank you so much!
