    Last time I was at 150lb and was working out vigilantly. I'm at 166lb right now, and I honestly don't think I look too bad sometimes. Depends on the day, really. I'll have days where I'm like "Oh my god I'm so cute" and days where I think I look disgusting. 150lb was happy every day though.

    I doubt I'll ever get to the point where I'm completely OK with what I see, but at least nowadays I can look at myself and think, "This doesn't suck as much as before."

    Never. I am not looking if the lights are on. Too many flaws that cannot be fixed, even with surgery.

    Yep. Finally at 48 ,with more sagging than ever before in my life, I think I look fabulous. I spent decades thinking I was fat, hating my body, wringing my hands, blah, blah, blah... I am taking better care of myself physically than I ever have (which helps my mental and emotional state tremendously). And I finally have enough wisdom to know that I am incredibly fortunate to have a body that is strong and healthy and given some time and training, it will do pretty much whatever I ask of it. Not everyone can say that.

    I also have two out of three daughters still living at home. None of them is of the skinny variety, nor will they ever be, but they are all strong. It's very important to me that they see me loving and appreciating the body I was born with, taking good care of it, and enjoying what it can do.

    I don't have room in my life for self-loathing anymore. I wasted too much time on that in my teens, 20s and 30s. To me, I look fantastic. I don't care what anybody else thinks :heart:

    For the first time ever....yes. Last night, right before I took a shower after swimming 2 kilometers. It was amazing, one of the best feelings ever. Just stood there hugging myself, grinning like an idiot. :D

    Hasn't happened yet. Probably won't until after I've made it to goal weight, then still would need a tummy tuck. Maybe then...

    I have always loved my body and thought I looked good in the mirror. It wasn't until I saw a photo of overweight me that I realized I had gained a bit too much weight.
    After losing 30 lbs, doing some exercise, and losing most of my tummy I look better than I did 20 years ago, and have the confidence to wear a bikini again. Forty years after I last wore one.

    @janet6567 at 62 my grandchild is one of my main motivators too.

    Cheers, h.
