The watch band thing hit home for me too, had to punch a new hole around month four and it weirded me out more than the mirror did
Your journey
Comparison update posted today at month 5
Month 6 was where my collar size caught me off guard, shirts I'd owned for years suddenly had room I didn't know what to do with. The face change hit me earlier than that, but the neck and shoulders kept shifting for a while after.
Collarbones were my shock too, around month 5 they just appeared one morning. Did your rings start spinning yet?
Collarbones were my surprise too, they showed up before anything else did.
Collarbones are the one I keep catching in the mirror, didn't expect them to just appear like that. What's been the strangest one for you so far?
I'm only a couple months in so no surprise yet, but the watch and ring stuff in here has me curious how long it took before your shoes started feeling loose too
Month 6 here and the thing that caught me off guard was my shoes feeling loose, which nobody warned me about. Are you noticing anything like that yet or just the face so far?
What got me around month five was shoes, of all things. Went down a half size and had to rebuy the pair i wear to work
What got me was shoes, of all things. Went to lace up a pair I'd quit wearing and there was suddenly room in them.
My surprise at that stage was my collarbones, of all things, they suddenly looked different in photos before anything else caught up. The face thing hit me the same way though, it was the first place I actually saw it.
My collarbones were the thing that snuck up on me, of all places. I kept catching them in the mirror before my face registered as any different.
How's your shoe size holding up? Mine went down a half size around then and nobody warned me that was even a thing
honestly what got me around month five was shoes, of all things.
Month 8 for me and the surprise was how much my posture changed without me doing anything deliberate. Standing in a shop window reflection caught me off guard
35 lbs in five months is great progress, and the face thing seems to be the universal surprise. I'm only a couple pounds in so far, so posts like this are basically my preview of what's coming, saving this one for when I hit month 5.
The face change hit me too, and the weird one was catching my reflection in a shop window and not recognizing the jawline for a second. Anyone else find it takes the brain a while to catch up to the mirror
The face thing hit me too, and it was way earlier than I expected. My rings are the next thing getting loose, which I did not see coming at all.
Month 7 for me and the one I didn't see coming was shoes. Went down a half size because my feet got narrower, which sounds fake until it happens to you.
The collar thing hit me too, had to punch a new hole in my belt around month 7. What got me was shoes, my feet actually got narrower somehow.
