☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721 Posted March 4, 2013 i am kinda on the short side......and 8 months ago, i was about as wide as tall..my stomach played a major part and stuck out alot....take a gander at my profile pic in green if you dont believe me.. anyhow, i noticed today while moving the wet clothes to the dryer that i could stand on my tippy toes and reach nearly all the way into the washer to get the clothes out...where as before, i couldnt reach more than half way and more than a few times had to get the ole man to help...now that was a wonderful moment for me and even teared up a bit at just how far i have come since june 6 now i know what your thinking, kinda silly yeah i know but when you notice your stomach doesnt hinder you as it once did, its pretty big (pardon that expression)....(IE: seat belts, crossing my knee over my legs, seat in car, clothes) you get excited. thought i'd share another silly success 16 Banjo257, dee257, Joy1961 and 13 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

akwright68 114 Posted March 4, 2013 I was a little teary eyed visualizing that in my mind. How wonderful. I can't wait to have that accomplishment. I just wish I was shorter or taller and my stomach would recede a little more as well - I keep hitting my stomach on the washer, the counter, the desk, the kitchen chair backs, everything at that height. It is a wonder I have not ripped the port out from behind the skin at this point. 1 ☠carolinagirl☠ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TriciaLN 177 Posted March 4, 2013 Congrats! I too have noticed my belly being smaller, but mine while in my car. At my heaviest my belly would tend to rub on the steering wheel a bit, but now I sit comfortably and it's not even close. I've also been able to wear my belt on the 5th notch when before it was on the very last one and very snug. The little things mean the most. 2 ☠carolinagirl☠ and hely88 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
