By Beth]]> I think you'd be surprised how that fat kinda goes all over and not just in the big, cushy spots.

As for your feet, I don't know about you, but my feet are definitely thinner. I can tell because I have a pair of Adidas pool shoes (with the strap that velcroes over the top) and they are getting downright slip-slidey!

This is a good thing, as my feet are quite square. I got a good laugh the other day when I put on my 10-year-old niece's sneaker. They have the skinniest, longest feet you can believe (a woman's size 7). My feet must be twice as wide, but just a little longer. You should have seen the look on her face :)>

By Hilly]]> Wow. You have me totally giggling. Not that your struggle is funny but the words you use are :).

You would be surprised...when I weighed over 300 pounds I had to get the wide shoes and now I can just get normal ones...but all of us are different. I keep praying that my cup size will go down, alas...not so much.

By T_Stormcrowe]]> Looks like you're doing pretty good! I'm fighting obesity as well, and at the last weigh in I had dropped 305 pounds. Come on by my place and say hello! I promise no porn! I've gone from a wheelchair to a mountainbike, by the way! I found your blog through technorati, by the way, we use the same keywords it looks like!::GRIN:: Keep up the great work!

By kathryn]]> When my sister lost weight, she went down a shoe size. How freaky is that? I can understand losing foot width when losing weight but not foot length.

By Dee]]> Hehe I loved this post and the whole divvying up has totally made me want to do it now too!! For some reason when you put stated it as belly, legs, butt, arms it didn't seem as much as the whole picture - probably just my crazy mind. Isn't it so bizarre where the fat resides (lol every bloody where?!)

You've done an amazing job so far! and the thing about the feet LOL I'm with your mother when I first started I was a size 10 shoe, and now I'm a size 8... what's so odd is that I actually don't have wide feet they're slender so who knows what's going on hahah.

love your blog btw.

By T_Stormcrowe]]> I can understand losing length on the foot, less flattening of the arch under pressure = less length on the foot!

By PastaQueen]]> Woah! Who knew fat feet was such a hot button issue? I guess I'm going to have to go with the majority opinion here and admit that my mother really does know best. I'll run out to Shoe Carnival this weekend and see what size my feet are.

Hi to all you new people and than you for commenting! I promise to check out your blogs sometime this week when work slows down some.

By T_Stormcrowe]]> By the way, if you tried to visit my blogspot blog, apparently blogspot is down and I'm now in the process of changing sites. this link is to my new blog address if you want to visit! If/when I can get back into blogger, I'll transfer the archives to the new site! In the meantime, keep up the great work PQ!- Tom

By hopefulloser]]> Yup, my feet lost weight. My wrists and calves too. All places I wouldn't have thought carried a lot of weight. I even think that my nose got thinner.

By Kirsten]]> My ankles got thinner - I have one pair of boots that zip up. They used to just barely zip up (I was being a fashion victim when I bought them) and now they do so with room to spare.

Now if only the rest of my legs would shrink to match... I could well believe that most of my excess weight is in my thighs. If your head weighs 20 pounds (and I'm assured it does) then couldn't a chunky thigh?

Oh, and my engagement ring got too big, fell off and was lost for a month, and when I found it I had to get it made smaller by two sizes. My hands look exactly the same chubby little paws they always were...

By Queen]]> WOW. I could say a lot about this one, but everyone else did such a fabulous job, I pretty much think they covered it.

For me, I lost first where I last gained. Including my double/triple chin. I even think my EARS are thinner. I don't have ONE ring that fits anymore.

And yes, my feet are WAY slender-er-er-er. [Hey, I've lost alot.] I'm with BETH on the width thing, but I can tell you this -- I can stand much longer -- even *gasp* run!

By Amy]]> your feet get smaller when there's less of you to support. very upsetting to know your feet get bigger when you do, shoe shopping is like the last shopping joy for the dieting.
