Weight loss equals sore muscles?

Ive lost a bunch of weight and inches in the last 60 days just eating less and walking about 4 miles a day, drinking a lot more water.

I feel a lot healthier but noticed that certain muscles in my arms shoulder and neck get sore a lot more often just from sitting around.

Ive read the fat tends to cushion your muscles and when you lose a lot of it the muscles get pressed up on the skin more or something.

Anyone else ever had this issue? Wonder if its just a matter of time for the muscles to adjust to the decrease in fat tissue.

When I've lost weight, it was over a lot of time. I never experienced that. Others may have.

I did experience being more sensitive to cold, though.

My back,knees and ribs hurt when I get out of bed. When my cat stands on me it hurts more than it did when I was fat.
My legs go numb if I sit on the toilet too long.

Everything is sensitive and sore.

I am 71 and forgot the name of what the body secreats due to exercise or new exercise . It will stop soon or you can go to a health food store because there is a supplement that helps.

maybe you walk wrong? and it turns out there is an increased load on the back and shoulders. how is your neck standing? isn't it very pushed forward?
