With the loss of almost 20 lbs and getting down below weight "y", two things have occurred that have unsettled me. (Both of which are probably TMI so you're forewarned)
1. My periods have returned. I've had more periods in the last 3 months than I have in the last year. I know it is better for me. I know this is probably a good thing, but I don't have to like it. I mean really, two periods a year is a pretty good thing. It is also weird to me since I haven't had regular ones since I lived in California. That was a LONG time ago (I moved in 2002) and I'm pretty sure I haven't been over weight "y" that entire time.
2. If my measurements are correct (which they might not be I'm kind of dumb about that) I've only lost 1 inch in my waist and like 1 inch in my chest and yet like 4 - 5 inches in my b00bs. This is a problem because while my hair is still in an annoying stage, my chest is pretty much the only thing I like on my body. (Yes I recognize that's bad.)
It is almost enough to make me gain it back. ALMOST. :) But since I want to sky dive and scuba dive I'll keep going, even though this past week's food consumption has not supported that view. (I gained 1/2 a lb when I weighed myself the other day, but I can probably chalk that up to period since it started the next day).

It is a sign that you are healthier...and unfortunately boobs tend to be the first place we lose weight...I have lost 20 lbs in the last few months and mine have shrunk too (although they weren't much to start with)...sad to see them go but so glad to be fitting into smaller clothes. Good luck with your continued weight loss.
