Things you find more challenging after losing weight...

Shaving my legs and armpits!! I feel like a contortionist sometimes. We learn to do things certain ways being obese. Another one is getting in and out of my van. I need to hop in now [emoji12]

I second the leg shaving! I haven't had so many razor cuts since my early teens. All of those new bones cause highs and lows that make you really have to pay attention.

I'm also finding longer car rides more difficult with the weight loss as well. Any long periods of sitting really. I used to have a lot more padding and it was never an issue. Now when I sit how I always have I can really feel the pressure points. I'm learning that it's more comfortable to lean forward more to distribute the weight across the back of my thighs.

The thing I find hardest is wearing my underwire bras. Before I just popped them in and went, but now they are deflated and they flip out the sides and I have to grab a wad of saggy skin and pull it to the front and tuck it in the cup otherwise I get these creepy bulges out of my side like I've grown a head on either side of me.

I was fitted recently. The problem is massive amounts of hanging skin that needs to be pulled in unfortunately.

I recommend a full coverage Vanity Fair back smoother bra. I realize it's not the back that needs smoothing but it does an amazing job with the sides as well and has thick contour cups.

It's called Beauty Back Smoother and it's awesome
