    Brenda, I didn't see your original journal. I was wondering what was your beginning weight?

    Oh, oh, I know, I know! But I'll let Brenda answer. I practically stalk her every post and have since joining this group because she inspires me :)

    Did you get people saying that you look too small? I am currently at 163 and I want to get down to 135-140 pounds, but I get people telling me I look good where I am and not to lose any more weight and I would be too small. I am going to get to the weight I want, but I was just wondering if you got people giving you comments like that as you got closer to your goal?

    Yes I did, but mostly I got compliments for looking great and I got down to the weight that I wanted regardless of what people thought :)

    I've had people tell me I don't need to lose anymore weight. That is nice!

    Don't get me wrong, I like the compliments, but at 5'5" and 163 pounds, I am still considered overweight and don't cross over into the normal range until 150 pounds. I at least want to get into the normal range and then see how I look then.

    After almost 40 pounds lost since March 5th, 28 of that from OMAD, I get the same thing about being fine as I am, despite still being "obese". I'm not stopping, I feel so much better and even more important than the weight being rid is how much better I feel overall.

    I still want to lose about 20-30 lbs. I think I'm at about 21-22% bf. I would like to be 7-12%. I spent a lot of my early life at or below those numbers and I liked being lean.

    Thanks Everyone, my day was very nice <3 Sorry no pictures of the cakes because I didn't frost them :p I just let everyone put their own frosting on because I had 3 different kinds...I made a chocolate cake and a vanilla cake and the frostings were chocolate, boiled white and boiled maple :)

    I have to admit - I'm quite happy you didn't post pictures of the cakes! :D I just went to the grocery store and actually shopped in-person for groceries (not something I do often - usually get it online) and it has made me super hungry... Only about 4 hours until dinner time...
