I think my feet lost weight!

[time2doit]

I was looking at my feet the other day and I thought, that's odd, my toes look longer. Then I went to buy a new pair of shoes, and I was down a half a size. Now I am wondering, did my FEET lose weight? Seems impossible, but then again, I have lost weight in my hands, so . . .

Kind of fun and funny! Didn't think I'd have to buy all new shoes at the end of this journey, just thought maybe pants!!

Yes! :lol: This gives me something to look forward to. Ever since I was young, I had very wide feet even though I wasn't heavy then. As a morbidly obese woman I'd have to buy shoes in a 7 ww .. 1/2 size bigger for the extra width on top of the extra width! LOL As I'm losing, I notice I have to pull the laces on my walking shoes tighter and tighter. Since your feet have become thin, it gives me hope that one day I too will have the joy of perusing the wide variety of footwear out there rather than always asking "which ones come in WW"? :lol:

My feet have definnitely shrunk. I used to wear an 8, 8W, or 7 1/2W depending on the cut, but now I usually am in a straight 7 1/2 (I do sometimes still need wide). Many of the shoes I bought in the spring are now too big. I wish I'd thought of that, because I figured... hey, one thing I can spend money on is shoes, right? Who outgrows them?

Well, I did ;)

I lost 1/2 size right after I bought new shoes :(

[pennink]

I've lost a size and a half!!!

I was a 9, now I'm a 7 1/2 again!!!! I have shoes that fly off my feet now and some that were too narrow and pinchy that fit comfortably now.

My ring size, btw, has gone from a 6.5 to a 4.5!

Someone should have warned us! All that faulty "well at least I can buy shoes" reasoning! Wow, a size and a half--that's amazing! I assumed that shoe size was a bony structure/not variable kind of thing.

Right before starting this diet I spent $200 to get my wedding ring enlarged. Another mistake!

When I saw this thread I started laughing out loud. Just yesterday my husband looked and me and said "hey, your ankles are back!"

Of course I gave him a punch in the arm, but your right.. feet and ankles DO lose weight too!

And me, i have lost a shoe size and my fingers look longer, lol.

My favorite pair of dress shoes are now fitting with out wearing really thin dress socks. Now I can wear them in the winter with thicker black socks comfortably.

I lost half a size and the requirement for "wide" shoes....

I also have much smaller fingers and wrists. The rings that used to be tight on my ring finger is loose on the my index finger now. I use a smaller set of holes on my watch straps and wear smaller bracelets.

;~)

Yes my Wedding ring dont fit my finger anymore, lol.

[kevsmama]

My shoe size went from a size 11 to a 10 maybe 9 1/2 depends on the make. I also have to have my wedding rings sized have already put in the sizer bar things and now they are still too loose. I am afraid that they will fall off my finger some day.

My shoe size has gone from a 10W to an 8-1/2 regular. My ring size has gone from a 10 to a 6.5---I fully expected to lose clothing sizes, I was NOT expecting to need all new shoes :)

[Sandollar]

My shoe size went from a size 11 to a 10 maybe 9 1/2 depends on the make.. :) Me too!! I only wear men's shoes, or shop at Payless because my feet are hard to fit right now....I can't wait to be a 9.5 again!

[Synne]

I don't know about SHRINKING but I do know my feet have gotten bigger since I gained weight. So I'd believe it!!

[DerBlumers]

Just wanted to add my two cents worth....

I didn't realize how much my ankles and feet were swollen until I started losing weight on the "right diet" for me!! (this one, of course :D ) Just before I started on this weight plan I special ordered a pair of shoes in triple width just so my feet would feel comfortable in shoes...for a change.....but by the time they had arrived I realized that my feet had shrunk and I no longer needed the extra width. Silly me...I kept the shoes, thinking I could still get good wear out of them by wearing several pairs of thick socks with them....but then the weather changed and I didn't get a chance to try out that theory until it got colder again. By the time I realized that I couldn't wear the shoes NO MATTER WHAT I tried....it was too late to return them for a refund.....I think I'll just send them back to the company and see what they do...maybe I can get credit? They still sell the brand and style......it's worth a try, I guess.....
