      Hey guys, I'm new here.

      Not sure if this belongs here but it sorta has to do with weight loss..

      I was wondering if I look like I'm 239 pounds, when I see myself in pictures or the mirror I never think I look as big as I weigh so I just wanted to hear others opinions.

      BTW even though I'm not losing weight for the looks, I am doing it because I feel unhealthy. I was a smoker and heavy drinker so I'm just to just trying to all together turn my life around and be fit. I want to run marathons and climb mountains :)

      Calorie counting works everyone!

      I'm also completely sober, quit smoking (8 months) and am planning a trip to Mt. Kilimanjaro!!
      I was in denial to think I didn't look 200! I'm still in denial now though lol, I got 50ish more pounds to go woo!

      That's awesome!

      And BTW, this is an appropriate reason to revive a necro thread. B)

      Awesome job. On all three fronts. That's a lot of stuff to turn around.

      As for the 50ish more, now that you've seen what you can do those will be no problem.

      Thank you for sharing and congratulations!

      You look fantastic!

      Curious, though. How are your other goals going? I read that you're going to Mt. Kilimanjaro, so that's exciting! Will that be your first?

      I look my weight and in the past lost most of it and oddly I could not see the loss I still felt and looked obese to me... Why is that do you suppose?

      Yes that's my first! I heard it was fairly easy though expensive. Me and a friend have planned for sometime in 2017 but I still need prepare and read up about it. Do you have experience?

      I still have a way to go, so lets all keep inspiring each other. This is why I love MFP Forums!

      Yeah but it gets easier to see as you get smaller. I started at 262. You can see the side by side on my profile in my photos. :)

      Wow!
      Kudos to you for that amazing weightloss!

      You're looking really great already now. Imaging what a killer you'll be once you have those last few pounds gone!

      Enjoy your trip to the Kilimanjaro. You deserve it!
