crazycoolbutterfly Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 I, like Michelle, had my shoe size shrink last time I lost 112 times from 12 to 10.5. On my first pregnancy, I increased to 10.5. My doctor told me that my hormones had caused my body's ligaments to stretch in preparation for the mechanics of child birth. On my second pregnancy with the twins, my shoe size increased to 12... hate wearing a 12.. so hard to find shoes.The other place you may notice your weight loss is your contact lenses. At my last major weight loss my contacts kept popping out. I went to my optometrist, and she said that losing weight will shrink your eye size, too, and she had seen this in every patient that had experienced major weight loss, and prescribed new contact lenses. Also, my glasses frames had gotten too wide, and I had to get new ones. Paula, I didnt know you have TWINS, so do I. I have boys that are 14! AWESOME I noticed that with my contacts also, I went in for my annual eye exam and he told me my vision was unchanged, which is great because I normally hear " getting worse", but he also gave my new contacts and IMMEDIATELY noticed that they were not sticking to my upper eye lids. Normally my contacts would stick easily or dry out faster, so i avoided using them. BUT now, I love them! I use them all the time, which is awesome because summer time I get to wear my "normal and stylish" shades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazycoolbutterfly Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 My foot went from a 9 or 9.5 to a 10 with pregnancy (supposedly your feet "spread" to help balance the extra weight) so logic would say that as I packed on more pounds they continued to spread to again balance a heavier me and now that I am shrinking they are reducing to a normal size... Michelle, I just noticed your new star and wanted to say NICE GOING!!! you are doing so well! LOVE the new pic!!! :lb13: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You, my dear, are just entering the twilight zone... Still, it was all enjoyable, more or less... Roxanne is harder than Zachary to deal with, plus the expenses for her were so much higher.. majorette, twirling competitions, formals for dances, etc. Homecoming court, 2nd place Miss Clay Hi, Prom Queen... lots of dresses and lots of expense.

bigali Posted July 1, 2008 Report Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hey, so it is not just my imagination. My feet are thinner too. My flip flops are loser and my tennis shoes do not feel tight anymore. I thought it was just my imagination, but now that you mention it I guess that it is not. I'm happy to know that some else is experiencing the same thing.
