For those that lost it all, what did you think as you lost it?

I remember when I lost weight years and years ago I noticed something like:

200: I lost my double chin and my face looked thinner

180's I felt like with my clothes on, I looked pretty much normal and you wouldn't look at me and think "oh yeah he's fat".

170's started getting attention from the opposite sex. And my stomach was flat. No dunlap.

150's: I don't even think about my weight anymore. It's just not a topic that pops up in my head

    Exactly this! Why I look like wearing certain clothing and my face has done a 180 with a smaller double chin. I'm sure the next thing is I'll start to attract attention from the opposite sex which is actually a goal of mine, its nice to be noticed.

    270-166 - lalalalalafatfatfat. Funny thing was that I thought I would be done at 180. Hahahaha, no!

    165 - I finally had to buy a dress for my brother's wedding and I looked GOOD in it. I showed to later on that evening to my husband and his face was more complimentary than any words that came out of my mouth.

    164-150 - Eh, still have weight to lose. Started working on fitness though.

    149-141 - OMG, I'm part of the minority of Americans that are neither overweight or obese! FINALLY! YAY! But I still need to loose some more weight.

    140 - Wow, I don't look fat anymore. Could stand to lose more weight, but not I'm not fat.

    139-130 - Still not lost enough yet, but am getting in the awesome shape.

    129-120 - OK, I look really good in this range and this is where I want to maintain. I am also in the best physical condition of my life.

    When I hit what I thought was my GW...I thought nice.

    Let's try for 10more.

    Did that...try for 10 more...did that.

    I am ever vigilant tho as I have yo yo'd for years and don't want to be that "person" who gains it back as mine is significant. (noticeable to the point the owner commented)

    I've lost a lot of power, about 40 watts. My legs just aren't as strong as they used to be. But I'm making it up the hills faster because I have so much less weight to bring with me.

    I love this thread! When I started at 249 I looked like a big round blob. At 215 I'm noticing my hour glass figure start to reemerge. Looking forward to continuing to notice more changes as I trek towards my goal of 175.

    225 - god I'm a cow. Does that come in a 2X?
    215- Hey! I've got wrist bones! Really-- wrists? THAT'S where I lose weight first? Okay: I'll take it.
    200- Is that. . . . wait. . . why, I'll be-- it's just ONE chin! I'm rockin' this thang!
    190- Damn! I got me a waist.. . . sort of. Time to go shopping for a BELT!
    185- Positive comments from the sisters-in-law. OK. . . who swapped out my sisters-in-law?
    175- One word: miniskirt.
