    That everything is getting smaller, EXCEPT my boobs, which are never small, anyway. I mean, they are, but not as fast as the rest of me. They are STILL way out of proportion to the rest of me, therefore much more...uhhhh....prominent? I am getting tacky comments from men about them, and it's really starting to piss me off.

    That my own mom, who was not impressed by my starting weight, is now telling me that I'm about to blow away, even though I am nowhere near where my goal weight is. And she hates that I lift-she thinks I'm going to look like a woman body building competitor. *rolling eyes*

    Here's mine- people telling me that I "don't need to lose any more weight."


    I get this all the time and it drives me crazy.

    I just gave away all of my FAVORITE clothes to a friend... because I can't wear them anymore...

    AND

    That I still fit into some of my summer clothes that I forced myself to keep from her as extra motivation... If I don't shed more weight I'm going to be stuck wearing my same old clothes I wore last year!

    That I have the worst time ever trying to decide who I am choose to date exclusively.... the attractive menfolk are lining up and I am enjoying going out with all of them... but the arses want a freaking commitment......

    And THIS!! And the worst part is I'll be out *with my boyfriend* and they will hit on me! Telling them I have a man, doesn't deter them. Where was all this attention when I was single?? LMAO. I was single for a month! and I didn't get this attention..

    Also.. I look totoally different, according to my guy.. so maybe people wont' recognize me..

    Where is a highschool renunion when you *really* need one. LOL

    Never had much boobage, so no problem there. Probably the "in-between" sizes, when I have droopy diaper butt.

    I too am cold ALL THE TIME. I sleep in tights and sweats just to stay warm at night, talk about sexy... It's now spring and I'd like to go buy a dress to wear to work to show off my new body but there is no way I could wear it with out leggings and a sweater to work... maybe even a scarf. I am so over being cold.

    Also my friends have gone from being supportive and impressed with my weight loss to almost jealous and making fun of me for it. I feel like i have to hide the fact that I did what they've been trying to do.

    Also I hate the guilt. I can't eat a damn cookie with out knowing just how bad it is for me... I want the damn cookie... I crave the damn cookie but the moment I put it in my mouth i feel guilty... Then I have to talk myself through the guilt saying its ok to eat a cookie once in a while... cookies are a part of real life... i need to stop living in diet land and learn to maintain in real life... its ok to eat a 100 calorie effing cookie... i'm not going to baloon back up instantainiously... ugh... all that drama over a cookie...

    Rant over..

    I'm always cold.

    Same here. Last night I wore a sweatshirt and sweatpants to bed and have two blankets and a comforter on my bed and I still woke up freezing.

    Affording new clothes
    Bra shopping sucks at any size, so having to go because I lost weight doesn't make it any better
    Stupid comments/questions about: my food choices; how I'm doing it (then arguing or telling me what it's "like" that failed for them); how I need to eat more;
    Saboteurs.

    I agree with how "awful" it is to be stuck between sizes. I'm like that right now with my workout tees. The XXL's are too big/baggy and getting in the way but the XL's are a tad snug.

    I'm not looking forward to buying the next round of clothes. I'm not opposed to shopping at GoodWill but it's just so much easier when you can walk into a store, see something on display and pick your size and color verses looking through rack after rack. I was lucky in that my mom gave me a lot of her too small stuff and we have close enough tastes that I will wear most of it. I did add 3 new shirts (all on sale) a couple weeks ago as a reward for the progress I made - and to add to the very red/pink/white color palate my mom leans towards.

    The Sag & not knowing if that last 10lbs is really that last 10lbs.
    The "you don't need to lose any more weight" comments.

    90% of the clothes I own are either too snug or too loose.
    I started almost exclusively shopping at thrift stores after the first 40lbs because it just got too expensive.
    Even when I shop at real stores finding clothes that fit nice is hard.

    My extremities are always cold.

    Oh, and I can't drink for sheet.
    I'm a lightweight now. LOL!

    What am I doing about this?
    Keep lifting & dropping BF% so my skin has a chance to tighten up. (hopefully)
    Tell people "sorry, I was thinking about the 6-pack i'll have this summer. ;)"

    I shop at thrift stores & i'm learning to tailor my own shirts & hem jeans. Gives me more options when shopping at thrift stores.

    I really can't do much about the cold & this summer I plan to work on my tolerance. :)

    First, I have complete respect for those of us who take the time and energy to lose weight and staying fit. I'm almost 40 and got tired of my "boobs". :) I want them gone completely. I personally and I think most guys are the same. Although boobs are great and all that, asthetics are so much more. I'd rather have a hottie with tiny boobs then someone overweight and unable to keep up with me. I know from a female perspective it is important.

    On the thread I read alot about people hating on the diet. It's true changing the way you eat is a PIA. I've been doing a Keto diet for some time now and I find it to be completely awesome. I feel great, have more energy than before, feel stronger and the weight it dropping off.

    If you do not know or are interested let me know and I'll share my basic diet.

    I read someones eating mushed Caulifower as husband eats Pizza. I live that to. My kids and wife eat pizza and I won't. But honestly I don't want it, I don't crave it. My alternative to Pizza? Tomatoe Basil Mozeralla Cheese sticks in a pan, fried with some pepperoni. It's almost just like pizza with no carbs.

    Life is good living low carb. Give it a try. I do less than 30g of carbs a day and it's awesome.

    To all the ladies who are lamenting the loss of their breasts: I highly recommend getting a professional bra fitting with a specialist. Nordstroms has good ones as does My Intimacy... a good bra can make the ladies look amazing no matter the size!
