I think it is a mixed blessing to lose all that weight. Congrats of course! You do look great. I think so much attention goes to losing it. Thats alot of energy that went to losing...now what? Maybe setting some new goals to focus on can be beneficial. I found yoga to be very worthwhile. Maybe signing up for a 5k, 10k, marathon training, triathalon....maybe some new goals that can excite you about feeling fit and enjoying your new body.
yup it is absolutely normal. Thanks for sharing your success and thoughts.:flowerforyou:
LAWL. You've never met me. If you did, you would know that I do not run. I do not own sneakers. A 5k would only enrage me, and a 10k may actually kill me. Marathon runners are equivalent to crazy people in my head. I don't even know what a triathalon is but it sounds like I'd hate it.0 -
You look amazing!!! GREAT job!!!!!!! I want to know where in the heck you found that bathing suit? It looks AMAZING on you and I love it!!!!!!
Uhhh my mom bought it for me as a graduation present, but I think it was from Frederick's of Hollywood.0 -
You look fab ~ well done!
I started in January somewhere over 170lbs. I'm sitting around 142 now, but I've been here for a month, stalled. I am within 5 lbs of my goal but can't get motivated to get there. I still feel fat in my head, still don't feel it, even when I have visual proof and people keep telling me I'm wasting away (as if!!) I'm also 5.4.5 - I need to reclaim that .5, since I've stopped mentioning it over the years.
You have reasonable goals and have had fantastic results so far. Change it up if you want to - I started a pilates class this summer and can feel it's doing great things to my core, I kinda have abs again, under a layer of soft belly, of course. You don't need to run or so marathons, but there's likely some other sort of activity out there to get you excited and seeing more results...0 -
Well, yes, you look phantastic (ref: the t-shirt). I have observed from others that it indeed takes a long time for our mental image and even the sense of ourselves in space to change, longer than it does for our physical selves to slim down. So patience might help here...enjoy the ride. And congratulations.
Oh my, do you also live and breathe this Philadelphia Freedom?
I love my home. 0 -
great great great succes, keep up this amazing transformation0

You look amazing! Head to toe! Don't be so hard on yourself
Look in the mirror and tell yourself the things you like, not the things you don't like. Do it everyday! Every time you're near a mirror! You're hott!!! Keep it up! 0 -
Hey girl, you look GREAT!! I looked through all your pics and your entertaining captions and there is a HUUUUGE difference. You can do exercises to firm up. But mostly I wanted to say, see if you can focus on loving yourself instead of criticizing yourself! Think about how much you have accomplished! I WANT TO SEE SOME POSITIVITY!!! lol Well done and thanks for the motivation.0
-
You look so amazing! I'm sure others have said this, but you should try and focus on exercising outside of your job now. If you're feeling jiggly, time to firm up! I know a whole lot of people on this site are Jillian Michaels crazy, but 30DS really is great, especially because it's less than 1/2 an hour. I still have weight to lose, but my body seems firmer.
By the way, love that red suit.0 -
OK, first of all..you look AMAZING! You now have the shape that I had when I was at my healthiest and happiest and you are rockin' it! Keep up the incredible work you've done so far and enjoy your new self!
Secondly (and this is me being a total girl), I loooooooooooooove that bathing suit. Very pinup-esque And the red absolutely pops! Where did you get it at? I may need one for inspiration lol 0 -
double reed lovee x33 I'm an oboist! but you look great be proud of yourself!0

Different people have different bodies and different starting/end weights! My weight now could be a goal for somebody else who is much heavier. I think you look awesome Your goal weight should fit you and your body type. I think you look great and you shouldn't be discouraged! 0

congratulations! you look absolutely amazing!!0

double reed lovee x33 I'm an oboist! but you look great be proud of yourself!
So much love to the oboes! I could never cut it as an oboist. I just break the reed and annoy whoever had to make it. Bassoon is so much easier!0 -
I am in the same boat (and height!) as you! We have very similar body structures only I completely lost my breasts and you seem to have luckily kept yours!
You look fabulous! But, I feel you on "being at the weight where others start saying oops i need to lose some weight!"....I feel like NOW is the hard part because it is getting harder and harder for me to drop it!0 -
I agree with everyone you look amazing!!!0
-
You look great! Maybe you can trade some cardio for toning to get you where you want to be! I think "they" say to lose the weight.first, then tone up what you've got! You've done amazing - stand tall & proud!!! 0

I'm feeling pretty down today. I wanted to be 150 lbs by the time school starts next week. Now I'm 148 and I still feel disgusting. All I see is jiggly belly, jiggly thighs, jiggly arms, double chin. I'm finally at a healthy BMI but I don't feel it. I never feel it. Even though the last time I weighed 148 lbs I was in 8th grade, I still think I'm large. So I decided to go back through my pic history and see how far I've come.
I'm sure some of you have seen these before cause I am a total attention-*kitten*. I'm 5'4.5" by the way (and that .5 is very important to me so do not mock me)
January. Over 220 lbs. Did not own a scale but when I bought one after two weeks of starvation dieting, I was 219:
Valentines day at just about 200 even, with the love of my life, Lola the bassoon. Happily married for 12 years
April, after I got MFP, hovering around 175-170, sitting on a mighty tree stump at the arboretum.
Joined marching band and lost more weight. 170-ish in late May:
At the 4th of July parade, rapidly succumbing heat stroke at 160 lbs. Yes, I know my feet are wrong. Like I said, heat stroke. This was after a week long trip of mountain climbing, canoeing, and hiking in June so I actually felt good about myself.
And eating my exercise calories at the after party that night, in my friends size medium dress.
Dressed up in a dress that hasn't fit me since I was 15 and stage makeup for a performance. August 5 and 153 lbs
Yesterday in my work uniform, 148 lbs. Trying to show my friend how much green I got away with keeping in my hair after they told me no more green:
And just for fun... SAME CLOTHES DIFFERENT DAY. First is from November, second from May
And old jeans/new bathing suit from may:
So I know i've lost weight but I also know that I am at a weight where other people start saying, "Man I need to lose some weight". Anyone else still feel really big at their goal weight? I don't want this to be a permanent feeling.
IM 3 POUNDS FROM MY GOAL WEIGHT OD 155...I AM 5'3" AND EVERYTIME I LOSE I FEEL I WILL NEVER BE SATISFIED,LOL...BTU U LOOK GREAT AND I THINK WE SHOULD KEEP LOSING TIL WE FEEL COMPLETLY COMFORABLE IN OUR BODY KEEP IT UP...IF U WANT TO
