Do you feel this?
Have any of you noticed that after you have lost a significant amount of weight, you start to feel like you are all lumpy inside......like when I rub across my hips or waist, my back or even my arms where they were so heavy, or my butt I feel like the fat cells are all separating or something and I just feel lumpy...it's strange.....sorta feels like I would feel in my breast when I was so heavy and would do my breast exams. I can even feel it on my hip bones when I lay on my side or back. The only way I can describe it is that it feels like a pomegranate looks inside (if everyone knows what those look like) or imagine the inside the lil pulp sections when you tear away the membrane around them in a grapefruit and how they are all put together, but are their own lil separate container of juice, but enlarged on my body by 300 % when comparing to a grapefruit. Does this make sense???? I know it has to be the fat cells breaking down, I would think anyway. My honey has even mentioned it because he can feel it and I didn't mention it to him before he said something. It's even in the tissue over my ribs in front when I lay down. I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever noticed this because I've never seen a post on it.

Yep, I find weird lumps, too
I'm sure there's a good medical explanation for it, but yeah, I find weird lumps, too, mostly on my upper thighs. I think of them as fat cells that refuse to give up... I see them with little swords and pikes, shouting "we will never retreat!"

One of the benefits for me is that I don't have breasts anymore  but my flabby stomach does feel a little lumpy. Almost like there are weird fibres in their or something. It's certainly peculiar.

That's what I'm thinking and maybe since it's not so large and puffy and soft now.....it is more noticeable and don't blend in together as well as when it was full and fluffy! LOL

Like Pooh! I swear I was reading this post and thought.. I need honey tea lol... Full and fluffy! (Like my head!) Trina... I sometimes notice those too.. (and Im still full and fluffy!).. I always assumed it was cellulite... wonder if we rub it long enough if it will go away? Dont they say that reduces cellulite? Anway.. thanks for the odd questions..
