    My PCP and my PsyD. They have both seen me at my worst and are seeing the differences. Both have commented that they would love to use me as an example for other patients and I want to continue to justify that faith in me and my progress. My doctor calls me her "poster child" for how to turn your health around.

    That's so lovely!! For me it's also my doctor, he doesn't know yet that I've lost 25 ibs, and I don't plan on him knowing until I lose the other 25 ibs, it's a little indecent but I want to stroll in there in a crop top, instead of buried under thick trackies and a tshirt. I have this little fantasy of him being so astonished, he's been my family's GP since before I was born, so he's been looking out for me for a long time, and watched me stack on the weight, it would sure be lovely for him to see that I've finally decided to take positive actions towards a healthy life style.

    The *difficult* people at work. Take that! Ha Ha.

    Ahahah Your answer is so unique! Yes I also have a few people that I wouldn't mind showing for "take that!" purposes! It's a great feeling when you pull out on top infront of the people that never thought you would!
    I have the one at work who loves to one up everyone and as evil as it sounds I love seeing her face as she watches me slim down... So I totally get this

    Boyfriend's parents in March. His mother never particularly liked me and I think me being a bit fat was just something else to add to her list. :p

    The self-centered witches at my old high school who thought they could completely disrespect me because of my weight. I moved away from that high school right before my senior year, lost almost 80 pounds in the year and a half since the move, and would love to crash one of their reunions and show them that I am a person who demands respect at any weight.

    I ended up writing a letter to my former pediatrician (needed some information he had in order for me to attend my university) and mentioned that I lost a ton of weight. Literally, two or so years prior to that letter, he noticed my weight and made a comment that "I shouldn't be eating big macs at every meal" (I never had a burger in my life). I loved getting my revenge and mentioning that I am at a healthy weight and still haven't tried a Big Mac. :blush:

    That sucks! But surely she'll be moved by the determination you must have to lose the weight you needed to lose!

    Well, they do say that the best revenge is living well! Good on you! It's horrible to hear you got bullied, but ohohohohooh the sweet justice when they finally see you! How terrible, it's absolutely horrendous that a doctor would make that sort of remark. my doctor is very pleasant and I really adore him, he's been hinting for me to slim down for ages. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he finally sees me after I've reached my GW (He hasn't seen me since before I begun and since I've lost 25 ibs but I still need to lose 20-25 more) He'll be so happy and pleasantly surprised. I know doctors have patient where they tellt hem to do something for ages for the good of their own health. well, /I/ listened, I feel like not only is it a victory for me, but for him also!
    As I described to Lourdesong I have this whole little fantasy in my head of how it'll go and how happy and surprised he'll be.

    Of course I am very happy for my husband to notice - but after all the wonderful years we have had with me at so many different weights, I am not sure that it means that much to him. Which is both good and bad. . . mostly good. I almost wonder if I am not the most pleased to share this with my closet. My closet that has been filled with clothes in every size and has likely scoffed at the thought of me keeping some of those things - as if I would ever be able to wear THAT again.

    And I love that there are so many comments about the medical community. I don't think I have lost enough yet that I will make any impression on my doctor, but I love to see so many who have

    Probably my husband, but really it's about me and how I want to feel when I'm naked. Sex with the lights on without me cringing about it would be nice.

    Also my doctor, my last check up was in June and I had only just started MFP and lost 3 lbs from my last check-up, so I am indeed very curious what his reaction will be at my check-up next month when I've lost 75 or so lbs.

    Holy smokes!! He better be sitting down! That's awesome :) You're a doc's dream! Congratulations!!

    Well DH is seeing it as it happens but that's really the only person (besides me) I'm concerned about as far as my weight goes.

    ETA: I would like to do a 5 k with my older sister one day though. That would be loads of fun.

    My fiancé. He loved my body when I gained weight, before I started losing weight, and I can't wait to see his reaction once I hit my goal weight. And me too, of course.

    Honestly I don't have a "special person" in that area, for the most part I don't really care what others think - BUT, with that said I do get a bit of a thrill at times whenever I run into people I worked with when I was at my heaviest.

    I think it might be kind of cool to run into a few ex boyfriends from my early 20's, partly because I am a lot smaller now than I was then, but also because they have really let themselves go and are looking like middle aged dads (complete with like, a Branson sweatshirt) so I just think it would be a hoot to see a couple of them when I'm with my younger, fit husband and we are out being active or dressed up. I don't think about this much and it's not like some "revenge" thing but yeah, I'm sure it would feel pretty good!! :-)

    I am always amazed how little people care. I wish I had a list of others who I want to show but I feel that my expectations would not be met. I suppose if I must choose I would say all the guys who teased me during my teen years.

    My doctor. He is probably the one that worries about it the most. LOL!

    Yes, the people closest to you don't really get that 'holy smokes' moment do they :(
    That's an awesome goal! Good luck!

    Ahahah yes, getting that thrill is lovely :) There are a few old friends I would /love/ to run into when I'm at my goal weight. Not because I want to rub it in or anything, just because ever since I was a kid I was always the overweight, unfit one, so seeing one of them at, idk a pool party once I reach my GW would be a nice thrill.

    yeah! For sure.

    I have run into the guys mentioned above when I looked better (in my opinion) than when we dated, had nice clothes on, etc. And that felt good even though I was still very large...I just think it would feel even better when I'm like 8 sizes smaller, too...like icing on the cake LOL
