Getting too carried away with the weight loss?

I think you look great, I would call you skinny, but not at all unhealthy. People don't like change and boy did you change. Again I think you look great!

You're looking good! I don't think you should worry. So long as your BMI is OK (and I know it's not the be all and end all, but a rough estimate) I don't think your friends are right. You look just the right weight to me. Well done for losing the weight

As long as your BMI is in the healthy range, you're fine. It could be jealously but it could also be the fact that in people's mind, they still "see" the heavier you and haven't been able to consolidate the two images. If you'd always been that weight, they wouldn't think anything of it but it's such a huge visual difference (huge grats on that btw) that it can be hard.

Or it could be jealously but I'm always trying to see the possible good it people. Life is was less depressing that way.

I think you look fine...
however I do have a theory!
So somewhere between the fat (lack of any better term to use... ) and thin there was a point that in clothes you probably looked more bulky which could have been incorrectly perceived as healthy muscle. So to their brain you have continued and lost muscle whereas you know in reality you have only lost fat... If that made sense at all? :S?


Completely unrelated .....I love the dinosaurs.. and it took me ages to figure out why i recognised the toy thingy in the background of your second pic then I noticed the tag bottom right and realised IKEA! I love ikea....

Dude you look fine! The changes are probably a little too much for them to take in at once...nice dino towel!:drinker:

Well done on the weight loss and you look fine - you can even see muscle in one pic. You also seem to have a healthy relationship with food and fitness.

I think there are two reasons why people comment. A You have lost a lot quite quickly and people are still getting used to the new you and B others are jealous that you have succeeded where they have failed.

Haha muscle! I don't have the dedication to build it up , I enjoy cycling and more cardio I just get bored trying to do weights. Plus I have a manual job and have to log 16kg crates about all day, that is the closest thing to weight training I will do :P

My hubby has similar build as yours as you except he is twice as old as you…;0) l prefer thin muscular man. I learned as a 40 yo that too much cardio caused me several knee surgeries and different body composition and 15 years of cardio queen did not get me too far. My husband hates weight training and keeps his routine simple, 15 minutes of any variations of 4-5 exercises, 3 reps of bench presses, push-ups, and ab work and you are done. Little suggestion if you like. Your calorie intake, exercise routine and your body composition looks great to me! I joined this site for 10 lbs. I gained over 2yos and after a year I finally have the last 5. I certainly learn to monitor your diet closely and once your maintained for a while weight yourself one a week to avoid 5 pesky pounds!

Cheers to you!

Only a qualified medical professional can diagnose an eating disorder. Go on how you look and feel. If you're feeling good and energetic than stay where you're at. People get jealous of others that have determination to improve themselves and sometimes this comes out in offhanded remarks. When I tell people that my goal weight is 188 pounds and I'm 6'4" they think I'm crazy. The trouble is, we've gotten used to looking at bigger people and it's skewed our concept some. I'm not hugely muscular. My muscle concentration is in my core and quads. Relative to my height, I have long but rather narrow arms.

I am staying at my current weight, I think I look fine but keep getting loads of ***** comments in work and from "friends" calling me anorexic or that I have body dysmorphia. It is really starting to get me down as I was so proud of what I lost and am so much happier in myself and much more confident, but even my girlfriend has gone from being supportive to now start saying i have lost too much and she preferred me when I was obese so I am starting to think maybe I have gone too far

people don't always adjust well to change. Give it time, they'll get over it.

try maybe 'bulking up' not too much just weights to help you look leaner and less 'anerexic' as your friends would say

You look amazing! and I love your towel

You are fine the way you are if your happy with your reflection that is all that matters. People will say what they want. Don't listen to their opinons and care more about what others think. You are your own best expert. If your fine ignore them and be happy with what you earned. You have done amazing. Congrats on your loss.

1. ignore them - they don't have any room to talk in their current conditions. They obviously have no clue what healthy looks or feels like.
2. Enjoy the new you cuz you are smokin'!!
3. ignore them! Your 'friends' (if they really are your friends, gf included) should be seeing you as an inspiration.

Congrats on your amazing success!! :drinker:

Just ignore them, You look great!!!!!!!!

In your post weight loss photos you have colour in your skin and great muscle tone. I would say if your now just maintaining your weight your eating clean, sleeping well and have plenty energy your probably doing just fine. You can always go and visit your doctor for a general check up and physical if you have any lingering worries.

Congratulations on your weight loss success, I think your a great role model for other young men. well done!

Ignore them, my experience of people who rain on others' parades is that they are either jealous, in denial about their own situations, or both!
