    I'm relatively certain I've been hit on in the men's locker room at the gym.

    Feels bad man.

    That must be the trick ladies... head to the men's locker room!

    Yes, I definitely have noticed a huge difference when I'm out and about w/ friends, etc...and I think it helps that I now exude confidence when I'm out, and I certainly did not before! I think half of the attraction others have to you is due to how you feel about yourself and how you present yourself. I'm finally getting happy w/ ME, so I think others can now see that and find me a bit more attractive than before. Whatever the reason, it's a nice little "pick me up" on my end. :drinker:

    I pretty much gave up swimming in the pool.

    You do not touch another man's bare stomach! I don't care if you're congratulating me on my weight loss, no touching! And you sure as HELL don't linger!!

    Yep...not a whole lot more than usual but most of the attention I get is I act out in public... I'm loud, I'm good at making uncomfortable situations comfortable, and when I'm in a good mood, I talk to everyone. Now I get the look up and down more often but still, the girl spilling soda down her cleavage or high fiving her friend when her debit card is approved is usually what has people curious...

    THis is shocking to some, I'm sure... I suck you in with wit and then you just can't resist my charm. Ha.

    Why yes. Yes I do! And I LOVE it! To have people show interest and be able to say that I am spoken for, is a great feeling. What is even better is having my boyfriend notice and he is more prone to hold my hand in public and give me random little hugs and kisses. Its like he is pissing on my leg to declare his territory!

    Honestly, no. lol I never really got hit on before, and I don't ever really get hit on now.- which is fine with me!


    I feel more confident now, which I guess could aid in someone losing weight getting hit on more, not just because guy are being shallow(though some are, but that is true of both sexes). If you are confident in yourself you will project that out and more people will notice.

    Actually, I have found a girlfriend after my weight loss journey, feels good man.

    I have been fat my whole life so the ladies never called me haha but I think I pulled a george Costanza on St Patricks day lol

    I left the bar looking for a cab but couldn't find one so I wandered around downtown just looking for one. A really hot girl I had met at the bar that night sees me and says:

    Girl: Hey, what's up!?
    Drunk me: hey just trying to find a cab! it's impossible!
    Girl: come back to my place and call one from there!
    Drunk me: Oh don't worry about it, I will just walk to the bus stop!
    Girl: Oh ok...
    Drunk me: Ok peace!


    Ugh the next day I was told by my friends I was a complete idiot...

    Absolutely! Unfortunately, they have all been creeps!
  • I get hit on much more, and I hate it. I kind of liked the invisibility afforded to me by obesity. I don't like being oggled in public forums.

    I don't get hit on. Ever. Period.

    Though, a guy friend of mine said I was looking really sexy. Something he never said before.
    Not sure what to make of it :P

    I have not gotten hit on per say, but I have caught people looking. My husband caught some guys checking me out Saturday and I caught one of his friends checking me out. I'll take it as an NSV!

    This is mild stuff compared to what goes on at some gyms. I've heard horror stories of "action" going down in the shower.
  • I get more looks from men, they treat me better. I used to think that once I'd lose weight and get their attention, I'd feel more confident, but so far it's been making me feel sad, angry, relieved and really happy at the same time.

    The fact that a woman needs to lose weight to gain respect from other people is really sad, IMO.

    Yes and I HATE IT!! I thought I would look forward to it, just being noticed is nice. However, men feel like they can just reach out and touch/grope/manhandle me and I seriously hate it. Threatened to take out someone's kidney about a week ago.

    There's also the creepy factor - My friend's baby was baptized and the photographer printed 3 pics - 2 of the family and one of me. My friend thought it was odd, so she mentioned it to her husband who is the photog's buddy. His reponse? "Oh he REALLY liked her." Creepy.Seriously.Creepy.

    I still have far to go to reach my ultimate goal. Can't imagine what that will be like. May start carrying pepper spray.

    No, but I'm not that observant.

    I'm not sure that many women hit on men anyway.

    I don't think it's a matter of dudes being shallow in every case. When people lose weight, they become more confident. They smile more, they come across more approachable. And that's what guys are really attracted to - confident, friendly looking women.


    Even when I was really big, I still got hit on a lot, got a lot of numbers, etc. Because I never acted like an ashamed fat girl. I was always out being friendly, making eye contact, chatting people up.
