I keep rubbing the backs of my hands, because they feel different. I have suddenly realised why.... I have lost weight on them!!! I noticed my feet had lost weight a few months ago - but have only just realised that my hands have too, LOL... Sooooo odd... Anyone else lost weight in places they didn't expect to?

Sk1nny, I am doing the same thing with my fingers. When I fold my hands they feel like they belong to someone else! lol And yes, my feet have gotten smaller also. Smile

Similar to your hands, I can see the bones in my wrists - and a little dent on the outside of my knee cap that never used to be there Wink

I never had a lot of fat around my wrists. Still my watch band is loose now, and I only lost 12 lb. Was also very surprised when I noticed it Smile

I know what you mean. When I type, I literally don't recognize my hands sometimes. It's sooooooo weird. Also, someone once pointed out that I lost weight on the bridge of my nose! LOL.

I've got knee caps now where I used to have lumps of fat. That's why I love crossing my legs or sitting with my knees pulled up. I can't stop admiring them!

well, my feet definitely have changed drastically. But lately, I have noticed most of my hand jewlry doesn't fit. Watches slide around my wrists, and my wedding band only fits on my thumb. Gonna have to address this sometime, but I have a long way to go, so I think it will have to wait to closer to the end

Sometimes my rings get so loose I'm afraid I'll lose them. Another 10 pounds and I'll need to get them re-sized.

Wrinkles showing up more with weight loss - hmmm, and I was attributing that to me being a year older. I have noticed more wrinkles in the past year. The other thing is it appears that my dimples are back - I had forgotten about them, but low and behold they were just hidden under fat!

Getting my knees back - instead of just lumps at the top of my shins.

Odd, but my legs were always slim below the knees (talk about a weird shape) even the gal who gives me a pedicure (been seeing her for YEARS) said a few weeks ago, "Have you always been overweight?" looking quizzically at my feet, ankles and lower legs...I think she was struggling to say in a nice way that "you've never had fat feet and ankles" ~grin~

But yeah - the knuckles in my hands are more apparent and the bones are beginning to show more. Nice to see. Joyce

I'm noticing it on my rings as well; I've been thinking about rings guards also.

Before menopause, when I lost weight, I always lost in my waist, then the other places but I was always shaped like a female. This time around, I've lost my butt, thighs and upper arms and I'm still thick in the middle. That's never happened before. I now have a little old man's figure. Smile

Should I add that I can tell that my butt is less of a "tight fit" on the can when I go boom boom, or would that be TMI? Oh well... too late! Very Happy

lol Kingkeld!!! I've noticed when I sit on the potty, on my upper thigh I have a birth mark on it, before my stomach used to completely cover it, now I see it every time plus a few inches above it!...strange way to tell you've lost weight.

LOL KingKeld...... I was watching something on TV the other night, which was about issues /problems with being fat. It talked about clothes, small cars, seat belts etc. It also included, information on a manufacturer, who is making a big toilet .... Called the "big John", I believe it is made in the USA..... They did a road test with it, to gauge it's comfort LOL

I like that name, Big John. I remember from my years in the US that Texas had a porta-potty company called "Ameri-CAN". Smile
