Today I wore a long skirt and could feel my underwear falling down while I was talking with a colleague in the hallway. Luckily I was able to make my way back to my office before it was too late, lol

Just had to get a few pairs of pants that don’t fall off. I was looking at 6’s because my 8’s seemed too loose but I found several size 4’s that fit quite nicely. I never saw that happening. Last year I was in 14’s and just starting to fit into 12’s and very happy with my progress. It’s funny because my thighs are not tiny by any stretch so I think some of it is just the sizing numbers are, but still it’s kind of a kick since I never in my life thought that was an attainable size and was never in my goals.

I’ve gone from a 42-inch waist to something around 38 or 36. I know guys’ sizes are supposed to be in actual inches, but it really does depend on the brand. I have 38" trousers that are loose, and a pair that I can barely button. I have a pair of 36" trousers that are tight but wearable, and another pair that barely fits over my butt, forget trying to button them!

Wendy I just bought size 4s as well and I thought the same thing! There is no way I am a size 4! But then I bought some shirts and yup, sure enough size 4. I still see myself as a 12 or 14.

I thought the same thing. After two years of maintenance, the 4s are getting slightly baggy. So some body recomp is occuring. I am keeping near my goal weight, just slightly below it not enough to merit a size difference, it is just my body doing its thing. Oh and I have moved from M tops to S/P ones. Keto just keeps on giving.

Yes! I love it!

Oh im joining this one😀 lying in bed this morning…i felt my ribs!!! Bones not fat. Woo hoo! Now im smiling all day

(KCKO, KCFO 🥥) #68

Yeah, I had almost forgotten about ribs, hips bones, and collar bones until Keto. Got’em all back now.

So im calling this one a silly win simply because i kind of chuckled when it happened! I got on the scale this morning and it has gone up 2 pounds and all i did was chuckle…i did not go into panic mode or cry, i simply chuckled. Old me would have said some choice words and given up all desire to continue and would have eaten half my weight in junk…but nope, i just chuckled! I am so proud that i can now simply adjust a few things and continue on this woe, best feeling ever!

Thank you @PaulL, i have never been able to stick with anything this long! It truly is easy, it’s only as hard as i make it!

Oh man, I’m glad I’m not the only one with the bone thing. Ive actually developed a weird habit where instead of stroking my chin while thinking, I pinch my collarbone. Checking to make sure it’s still there, I guess.
