(Used go not complain over this) .. needing to shop for lower sizes.

Even though it cost $$ this is the fun part, at least for me!

That's the trouble, I've broken through so many sizes now it is $$.
Frustrating when it happens when I don't expect it, yet it does leave
me happy too!

yeah me too, I went from size 48 pants to size 33

Awesome job!

I was in 30\32 .. now I'm 7,8,9s in most things.

My grandma trying to force food down me because she thinks I have an illness ><'

-Adios boobies

-Cold...all.the.time.

-"Can you tell me how you lost all that weight?.....oh..I don't think I can do that."

-Stuck between clothing Sizes

-"Aren't you trying to lose weight? Why are you eating XYZ? Shouldn't you be eating a salad?" (I.e. the body police). In all fairness people tried getting me to eat salads (the end-all cure-all of healthy foods right?) When I was larger. Now they expect me to eat nothing but salads and drink water.

Being cold all the time and knowing it isn't because you are anemic.

My grandfather is like this. He also tells me I look like long dead aunts who were chain-smoking, skinny spinsters. Not real charming LOL

1. Other people's comments. Things like - "You'll be pretty when you lose weight." Comments like that make me NOT want to lose weight. Last year, I did a Warrior Dash and someone looked at me and said "You did a Warrior Dash? I thought those were really hard." Then he back-pedaled. Yes, it was hard! Other comments - "Maybe this is the weight you're supposed to be." That one put me in a tailspin for months. There was a very nice salesperson at a running shoe store that was politely trying to tell me that buying new sneakers wouldn't make me able to run a 10K. When I told him I was training for it, and I had already jogged a 5K - he looked at me in a different way and was supportive.

2. Other people's advice. I should do Atkins. I should get a B Vitamin shot. I should check my thyroid. I should check my hormones. I work out too much. I don't work out enough. I should work out harder. I should get a bike. I should do jumping jacks. It's nuts.

3. Other people's support. Sometimes, I get frustrated when the weight doesn't come down. Then people say "you're gaining muscle, which is heavier." I'm starting to think that that's a cop-out. Or they say "You're beautiful just the way you are." UGH.

4. While I'm at it - people who SAY they want to work out with me, but really don't. I'm done with excuses, and I'm just going to work out when I want to work out. Then they say "I wish I knew, I would have come" BALONEY.

I don't know. All the comments are conflicting and confusing. I can't make them all work together.

As for the other stuff - My weight is coming off slowly, so changing clothes sizes hasn't been too much of a problem. I don't like waking up stiff from some strength training workouts.

Congratulations to all of you for your weight loss!

Can't say that I hate anything.

^ You don't HAVE to, just fit it within calories..

The girls.... are getting smaller and not happy about that so I am working on the pecs underneath however I haven't seen it affect it much... sad to say

Inconsistency. As in you do something that SHOULD produce a 1lbs a week result according to the numbers but doesn't. You get .9lbs one week, .7 the next, 1.1 the next, etc. Then you stop losing randomly even though you changed nothing from the previous week when you lost 1.1 lbs. Oh, your body adapted. You need to eat more to lose. Huh? Makes total sense. Then you do that and you gain. Oh, you're not in a deficit. OK. Sooooo I was in a deficit. Then I wasn't. Then I really wasn't because eat more to lose weight is bull.

Hahahaha this!
