KindaFamiliar 3,867 Posted May 9, 2016 - When you're in the local supermarket, just minding your own business, when, at the far end of the aisle, a PT from the gym you used to go to walks past, looks you right in the eye, then keeps going, only to do a MASSIVE double-take, comeback and stand in the middle of the far end of the aforementioned aisle, and yell - "WHAT THE F*CK??!?! HAVE A LOOK AT YOU!!!" Happened today.. 1 njgal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Papa Jack 86 Posted May 12, 2016 The pants you are buying look to SMALL. So you go out to the car & pull down your pants to see what size you are wearing. The are the same size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dub 9,922 Posted May 15, 2016 When you find the chairs at your parents house have grown since you last sat in them.....and their dogs have room to join you.... When you return home to your own home and your own dogs have room to join you in your char that's grown some, too.... Furniture everywhere seems to be getting bigger and bigger. Strange phenomenon. Strange but cool. I like strange. 2 njgal and DragonMom5 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kaitlynm 335 Posted May 15, 2016 I used my whirlpool tub last night for the first time since loosing weight. I couldn't believe how much bigger it felt. Felt more like a swimming pool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BCs 1000 364 Posted May 15, 2016 The pants you are buying look to SMALL. So you go out to the car & pull down your pants to see what size you are wearing. The are the same size.Yes! I pick up a dress in my size and look at it and think there is no way I can squeeze into that! And then I step in and do up the zip with ease. So surreal.

o00 494 Posted May 21, 2016 You have energy oozing out of you! I'm always wanting to be on the go! I can't stand to be stagnant. I don't hear myself making comments like "my knee hurts or I have plantar fasciitis" anymore. Because frankly nothing is hurting anymore and I can run up and down the stairs. Also hike and workout without dreading the aches and pains. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BelgianGuy 350 Posted May 23, 2016 Went to buy some new clothes since I looked like a ghost floating around old rags, and I was amazed I could fit in sweat shirts/shirts and jeans that looked ridiculously tiny to me. Kinda nice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
