So I am a little nervous. I recently lost 200 pounds and look good with clothes on but my upper body is not as tight as I want it just yet. I am going to a pool party today and next weekend. In my mind, the people that I know there will be curious to wee what I look like with my shirt off. I am not quite sure if I am ready to show them because my goal was to have it completely tight by August 10th. Advice?

    Think about it this way; how much more confident would be in taking off your shirt now compared to 200lbs ago? Are you proud of what you accomplished?

    Thanks but what do you think about the shirt on or off issue. I could wear a wife beater and be comfortable but I dont want to start feeling akward if they start saying take it all the way off. I need a few more weeks before I showoff my reall tight body.

    Just remember how much more confident you are now compared to 200lbs ago. I'm sure your friends will be amazed.

Summer fun with loved ones! :drinker: Cheers to you! Keep us posted. And happy 200 lbs!

    Im back. There was no pressure or funny looks. I had on a wife beater and I felt very comfortable. All went well. Thanks for all the kind words and advice. You all are great.

    You. Are. AMAZING. Our bodies are constantly a work in progress, and if you allow yourself, you will never be ready to "show off." Hell, show off to YOURSELF how freaking BOSS you are! <3
