Biggest challenge now? Everyone telling me "Wow, you look great, you don't need to lose any weight!"...when I know I am still 80 pounds above "obese" for my height, age, and frame. At the same time, these will be the toughest pounds to lose.

    I avoid such comments by wearing shirts that look like tents now.

    I did kind of wonder if someone would say something. About 15 pounds or so ago I lost another round in my face and I almost don't even recognize myself anymore. My face and chest look pretty thin (I think) and the rest of me is concealed mostly by the previously mentioned tent shirt.

    I know the next phase of weight loss will present new challenges for me just like it will for you. They aren't quite here yet though so I figure I will worry about them when I need to adapt.

    You still have a few pounds before you need to drop to 1.5lbs per week. I don't think that one will be the biggest shock though. I think when we drop to 1 pound per week it will be tougher sledding.

    @jim_pipkin What a great milestone to have achieved! Congratulations! Well done! How are you managing with people's (well-intentioned) comments?
