I have lost a lot of weight [View all]

I am finding that things like sitting by hurts my tailbone. When I hit my funnybone it hurts more than it used to. Hell hitting any bone hurts more. Except for the shins they hurt no matter what your weight is.
My hip hurts when I sleep now because my bed was hard to make it last longer and be durable with my weight.I had enough fat to cushion it.
Not anymore. Have to save up and get a thick memory foam mattress cover topper thingy.

I had no idea how much it hurts when you carry less weight around. However I can sprint the 22 stairs to get to my apartment is much easier,no more huffing and puffing.

There are things you never expected when you have significant weight loss.
