being in a pool

No one told me the world of being in a pool post losing 160lbs...WHAT A DIFFERENCE so ******g funny though..for those of you who think i am crazy ill tell you about it..fat made me float really awesome without a problem all the time...now yesterday was the first time in a body of water after losing a bunch of weight and it was the funniest fricken thing not to be able to float i mean i tried but i sunk and i dont care that i sunk cause it was a good moment a WOW moment some of you may say..haha in other news i am out 8 months..didnt lose a pound actually gained and it wont go away..so i am doing some different things...gonna start putting protein shakes in my diet again and get really stern on myself...sorry this was random but i figured i would share...has this happened to anyone else??

I hear ya! My boobs have always helped me float and bob up and down in the deep end.  Now, I have to use a noodle float thing is order to keep my head above water.  Its a win/lose situation.  Congrads on the weight loss! Switch it up and i'm sure it will start melting again!

 I actually havent been in the water since I lost weight...I've been in a bikini but not in the water...figure that one out!  

Good for you going back to the shakes, you are my inspiration to do the same.  I've been slipping a little with snacking too much so I really have to get that back in check.  Post on how you are doing with that and I'll try to do the same.  I've also not been losing like I have but I figure it's because I'm so close to my goal weigh and honestly, we don't weigh very much anymore so I'm sure our bodies are trying to hold on to whatever it can.  It's frustrating though being so close with the scale not moving.....ounces have started to count!  

Take care!

i just spent a week on vacation and noticed how much harder it was to float. I was on a swim team and havent been able to swim laps in a pool in a while. (i was a floater!) so I did some laps and GEEZ I WAS SORE! haha!

what a great feeling of NOT FLOATING! isnt that funny?

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. and yes is pretty funny. and emily ur gonna sink bad u skiny thing!!!! hahaha.

 skinny....lol...that word still makes me laugh when used to describe myself.   Thinking back now, I guess I was in the lake but I had a life jacket on, so that doesn't count.  I can no longer use my boobs as floatation devices because they have all but disappeared, sadly.  

I never thought about that... lol. Excited to swim post weight loss.

That's funny!  It just occurred to me that is even a possibility!  I'm so used to floating- water aerobics are such a pain because I can't stay in one place when I'm supposed to- I just float away.  No wonder!!

wow...this is news to me!  i can't wait to "not float" hahaha.....i love swimming...maybe because its not very difficult right now!  i hope i still love to swim after weight loss....anyway i enjoyed reading this...how funny!
