Speaking of tummy skin...

[LuvTigger]

I was reading TigH's post on tummy skin (CONGRATULATIONS!!!), and it reminded me that I was just noticing something about my own tummy the past few days.

Well, I had/have what I refer to as a "tire" around my abdominal area. It's not a tire all the way around, but you know the flab of stuff that hangs out in the tummy area? Okay, well, I'm not sure if you all have experienced this, but for me...ahem, getting a little personal here...the waist of my undies stops right under "the tire" and for as long as I can remember, there's been kind of a permanent line there. Just the other day I noticed that on my left size, it's actually starting to get FLAT, and what I almost thought was a permanent line is starting to go away! It's still there a little on the right side, but hey, you gotta start somewhere!

This made me very happy because I was starting to get a little depressed since I haven't really lost weight in over a week.

that is GREAT news! that is my problem area too and though I'm getting pretty close to my weight goal, I realize it'll probably be another six months or so before I'm really happy with the amount of fat being store in my lower tummy and hips!

The price of being a woman and bearing children!!

Now you can be happy and joyful all day today b/c you know that even when the scale isn't budging, the tape measure is! You did take measurements right?!!!

Woo-hoo!!!!

That is great news!!!!! I'm so happy for you! I understand what you mean about the underwear and the lines! Pretty soon you will need to do some shopping for new undies too (trust me!) KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK! It's very important to pay attention to these types of things, especially when the scale isn't always being kind! It's great proof that your FAT is being used to fuel your body!

I say MORE! More stories like this, please! LuvTigger, you are awesome!!!!!!

Congratulations! Isn't it cool when your body re-emerges!

I had a similar experience, but with my shoulders. I used to like the way my back and shoulders looked, before my so-so-so heavy days. Now that I have lost a lot, I noticed that the top of my shoulders are regaining some definition, and are "emerging" from the chubby upper arms. Now I need to work on the hanging underarms to complement tht top line! Yippee!
