Just had to share something funny.
The great news is that I've lost 60 lbs of the 200 lbs I need to lose. The BAD news is that 30 of it seems to have been lost from my boobs!
What the heck is that? I have a large butt, large belly, and thighs that have their own zip codes, but NOOOOO. I lose half of my boobs. Seriously, I can now put my fist in my bra with plenty of room left over.
Cracks me up! Guess I may have to have implants when I'm all done.
I invite you to share something funny about your weight loss that you never thought was going to happen.
Happy Halloween Everyone!

I just talked about this in another thread! LMAO! I can't see my weight loss, but my boobs said bye-bye? Heck, I can't change pants size, but I had to take a link out of my watch! Apparently, according to my body, I only had extra weight on my wrists and boobs. Who knew?

Too funny. I guess mine haven't said bye bye completely, just seem to be saying hello to my belly button these days. :) Can't wait to get a lift.

The last time I was this weight my butt was two inches bigger and my waist was an inch smaller. This time it's the opposite.
My boobs are flattening out like a pancake and this upper roll I got the last 20 lbs I gained, isn't going away even though I've already lost that 20 plus 40 more!
Oh well. There's just too many more positives, so it's hard to complain. lol. |

When I lost weight once before, I lost a lot of my boobs.
They just looked like empty boob tubes! |

Boobs have retained most of their size, down a bit, but they sure have headed south. so has the skin on my face and neck. Yuck!! I literally have mud flaps for upper arms. I didn't anticiapte the rapid aging.

I am 63 and was banded on 3/25/08. My boobs look like two deflated balloons, and my butt deflated, but my penniculus (love that term--that is the roll on your stomach that will not go away except with plastic surgery) hangs on. I joke about it now, but I am not ruling out a tummy tuck if I can scare up the cash. I figure they can take the fat from my belly and fill out my boobs. I don't think I am too old to be perky  . Minor complaints aside, I now wear a misses size 12 (down from womens 22) and am off both cholesterol meds, one bp med, reflux med, and may lose the other bp med later. I also have pain med for my knees, but only use that occasionally. My cholesterol is 142, down from over 200, triglycerides 53, down from over 300, LDL 66, HDL 65. I don't think my numbers were this good when I was born.  Many of these meds I have taken for 20 years or more. Oh, I need my arms done too (I have batwings) and my inner thighs could use a tuck. But I am not complaining, much. I may still be a hot mama one of these days, even if my cats don't care.

boobs only went from a 38DD to a 32D, mother nature & gravity are having a war as to how low they "droop" - but a good bra makes me feel 20 again.
the issue i have lately...hands. my slender hands which turned into little sausages after i gained weight look like hot dogs that have been nuked' = shrunkin' & wrinkly. my concern is the hands really show the age, so i'm a moisturizing whore with collagen & hope to fend away the wrinklies... |

Still have some boobs but they are not where they should be. My shoulders kill me by the end of the day. I've thought about going ahead and getting a reduction and lift, but I go back and forth on it.

Glad that I am not the only gal with this issue. Had Lap-Band® surgery on Aug 26th. Have lost about 13 lbs, all in my boobs and top.
Sick and vomiting after my second fill, had 1/2 cc removed on last visit.
Have had the most wicked headache for the last 5 days. Saw internist
yesterday, I hope this is just a sinus or flu bug and not related to the
Lap-Band®. Anyone else with wicked headache since Lap-Band®?
Going to try ZPak and Tylenol this week. New to all this and could use
advice from a Lap-Band® BFF. Thanks, ChubbyBoomer

I can still deceive people that I have a great rack. When I'm clothed, and wearing a bra, they look great, especially in contrast to my nice slim waist and flat stomach. But people dont know that they're actually rolled up! I cant really show cleavage, its more like a puddle of water in there.
But how did my butt go so flat? My jeans just slide off, I have that awful empty sag and plumbers crack if I dont keep pulling them up!

My butt has almost disappeared....if I could relocate some of the boob fat to my butt, I would be a more sensible shape! As it is I'm a chesty butless wonder!
A good bra does do wonders...but without the girls harnessed, when reclining the boobs hide in my armpits! |

Thanks, I still have a long way to go and lots to learn. Surgery was
Aug 26, 2008. Guess I expected more weight loss and less illness.
Still hungry and have only lost 13-15 lbs. Seems the band is too tight
and I am vomiting, or loose and I am over eating. Must be a sweet spot somewhere. I live in Central Florida, and hope that I will continue
to loose weight and feel healthy again. Happy Holloween!
