Yes the weight loss is always most dramatic to the people you don't see often! Love it when people see me and they're like "wow you've lost so much!" One of my friends didn't even recognise me at first :) And I wore my first bikini today at a friends birthday party which was lovely! :)

That's lovely! It's good you decided to do something! And awesome you got back to your old weight! Once again I'm so jealous of people who have sisters! My older brothers are bullies :P

That's awesome! It must be hard to live in different countries :( She will be happily surprised though!

That's lovely! Good to hear you have someone supporting you along the way! :)

Oh wow, that's lovely!! It's nice to hear about such a strong connection between sisters and it's so sweet that you're sharing this experience together! :) Aaaa I'm jealous! I've always wanted a sister but I got stuck with two brothers instead ;)

Just like Kalikel I am not recommending anything because I haven't tried it, but look up clothing wholesale websites, some sell clothing for only a couple of dollars per item of clothing. Some websites seem to be scams but most of them are just cheap because the clothing is just a cheap copy of other designers works. For…

Note: I mean the most dramatic physcial changes within a quicker period, where as weight loss to me earlier on in my journey (ugh that sounds awkward is that what I'm meant to call it) seemed much more gradual per kilo when now losing a kilo is worth much more cm wise...

That is interesting! And also sucks! But I /was/ in my highwaisted shorts when i had this particular realisation. There was a pouch of material where usually I see a pouch of fat!!! ahaha It's possible that it's because I'm very close to the end of my weight loss, which is apparently where you see the most dramatic…

Thank you! Yes, I get that way! During the first few months my face in particular was losing all the excess fat and I look quite different now, looking in the mirror! ahaha I also feel like losing weight has made me happier and more energetic and bubbly! It's also come a long way in taking care of the problems I've had…

Ahahaha I'm also having this issue! I'm buying things for the parts of my body that seem to have lost almost all of the excess fat, like my chest area, which I doubt will get any smaller. But yes, I bought some really cute shorts only a month ago and they /already/ sag a bit!!! luckily a majority of my clothing from before…

Oh woowwww, your pics really do show your success (looking at your profile pic)! You've lost so much :) You look lovely!! ahh that sucks, but looking at your profile pic you have come a really long way :smiley: Like I said, you look stunning :)

Really? That's so cool! I guess that makes sense, my brain needs to know how much to suck in when my body squeezes through small spaces :wink: ahahahah

Wow, that's amazing! ahh I'm lucky enough to have missed out on the excess skin issue... at least so far. Well, excess skin is at least better than excess fat :) You've lost so much weight, you're an inspiration! :smile:

Me too! It's been like this for such a long time (even though around seventh grade and up was when it started to get worse!) It's just strange, to look in the mirror and not see something there that's been there practically your whole life, even if you're happy it's gone! Me too, I mean, I never thought I was skinny, but…

I am the /exact/ opposite, all my weight is now focused on my thighs! :/ Yes! And then people tell you "Don't lose any more, you're so skinny now" when in reality, maybe one section of you is mostly fat free, but another section of you is still holding onto all it's weight! It would be great to be one of those people who…

That was a really mature decision! I started dieting now, partly because I'm afraid of getting diabetes like a majority of my family, and partly just because I wanted to wear the cute clothes I liked /and/ feel comfortable in them. And I'd heard because I was still young I was less likely to have issues with loose skin,…

Yes, I've actually only /just/ hit the healthy weight BMI, another pound and I would be classed as overweight again! Yes, I have had that happen too!! My mother has asked me before "How much more do you plan on losing?" and when I say "Maybe 15 or 25 more pounds." she looks horrified! I'm quite sure I've still got a grip…

Ahaha yes, I won't let it get to me, I know the people who say it are just trying to protect me :) and it is a lovely compliment! (I guess I hide the residual fat well! aha)

Ahaha! My brother said something very similar to me when I told him to watch out for me, "You like food too much to be anorexic." ahahah But yes, it's a big worry of mine! I suggest to you that you pick out someone you trust to tell you when you're too thin just in case. I had to be careful when I picked my person. As a…

Yes I think I'm quite similar to you in that way! It's a bit of a weird feeling sometimes to look in the mirror and go "Hey, where did that part of my body go‽"

I just tried on a pair of shorts that only bought a month or two ago, they were tight then and I felt self concious, but now I put them on and they're sagging a bit! It's like somebody reached in and took a big handful of my stomach fat and threw it away! That was my "Damn!" moment ahaha. I know exactly how you feel! I'm…
