    Great job, and very motivational. I so know what you mean by the responses you get after you lose weight. People look at me stunned and ask me what I did. Someone even asked me if I was on drugs, really? My weight came from having kids and not having the time to work out because I was in school, so after I had my 4th child, working out went to the back burner. If feels so good to be back to working out and back to my prekid size. Keep up the great work, proud of you. :wink:

    Congrats on your dedication! Since I've been overweight my whole life, i'm kinda used to being invisible. I think I might freak if people started talking to me! haha. Hope 2014 is another great year for you!

    Terrific progress. You're going to love lifting. Learning how to learn new skills and how to educate yourself will go much more easily now that you've already made such a big change.

    Lots of the parts were relatable. The whole 'not eating near others' really rings true.

    The funny thing is I eat heavily in front of others now and they think 'oh he just has a fast metabolism'.

    Have you wanted to get violent with anyone yet over repeated OMG YOU LOOK GREAT DONT LOSE ANY MORE WEIGHT? that one drives me nuts

    Grats sir

    I've gotten a kick out of the few people who've asked me if I've had surgery. LOL.

    It's amazing how much the community on MFP makes a difference when you're starting out. Even when you don't want people in your day to day life that see you know that you're trying to lose weight because you think you'll fail, you have people on here pushing you to keep going at it.

    Congrats on your progress and loss... you're an inspiration!

    Good luck this year!
