The less obvious the better! I'll start.

I can fit more items of clothing on the washing line.

I can happily fit on the middle seat on the train without squashing the people on either side of me, so less standing on my commute.

No muffin top. Now working on the damn apron...

IndianaMoleWoman · 01/07/2017 11:45

Responses! Hurrah!

Can now fit three people on the back seat of the car when someone offers a lift, so now not too embarrassed to accept lifts.

Having armpits to put roll on deodorant into instead of pads of fat to put it on to!

No more smelly belly button due to it being buried in a fat fold (plus actually being able to see it!!)

I actually made a list like this that I keep adding to so this thread is great!

I don't create a dam in the bath or cause a tsunami when I stand up.

AceholeRimmer · 02/07/2017 12:46

IndianaMoleWoman · 02/07/2017 17:36

Actually going to things instead of making an excuse because I have nothing to wear/ look terrible in everything.

Don't have to have "the conversation" about weight every time you see a healthcare practitioner and they have to investigate problems rather than just blaming it on your weight.

ohhhhhshit please tell me how has loosing weight helped your boobs?? I have the fear they will sag after breastfeeding and weight loss Hmm

ohhhhhshit · 02/07/2017 21:56

sloe Firstly I must say that I totally agree with your user name.

Re tits, there's just basically less of them. Less weight to sag, so they feel lighter and look SO much better. Don't get me wrong, they're still very much the victims of two pregnancies and subsequent breastfeeding, but with less fat on them they are just fine. They don't look like shrivelled up balloons that you find down the back of the dining table two weeks after a party or anything.

SloeGinRocks · 03/07/2017 09:39

oooohshitGrin well that's a relief! Am starting 30day shred today so will report back!

AceholeRimmer · 03/07/2017 17:28

I agree with the boobs thing, when I'm fat mine are the size of watermelons and the nipples face down.. I was pleasantly surprised to see my nipples pointing outward when I got to my target weight Grin

AceholeRimmer · 03/07/2017 17:29

I love being in photos with my kids instead of avoiding the camera. Giving them memories to look back on Smile

Gingernaut · 03/07/2017 17:31

I don't have to shop at Evans or ❤ Yours.

SloeGinRocks · 03/07/2017 18:29

Very encouraging acehole
