I'm glad you posted this. I'm far from goal but it's been on my mind a LOT. I have NO idea what to wear when I get there. Thin I was never into clothes but fat there is no choice but to only wear what fits whether you like it or not. I've been looking at sites like Macy's and nothing looks remotely interesting. I truly…

This. I believe losing the weight may make the real underlying problems even more profound. Nowhere to hide from them? I don't know. I am reading this thread for ongoing inspiration. I have over 90 pounds left to lose (down almost 20 so far). I get to a certain size and mentally check out and blow up again. I do not know…

add me; I'm on the 100+ path

You may have to practice this but get your dead-eye stare and in a low pitched voice whisper this and nothing else all while keeping eye contact (bonus if you can not blink either). "So are you" Then just stare at them and make them break the creepy/awkward moment.

I like to yawn a BIG giant gaping rude yawn at people like this. I've 'said' nothing yet I've said everything that needed to be said. It's fun to watch their face go right to a beautiful mix of horror and rage and complete confusion.

I put my weight loss back on and am working to lose it (and more) again BUT when I've had this happen I don't answer but flip the question back saying; oh it fluctuates, what about you? :wink:

When I used to be at the gym a lot (unlike now being 100 pounds heavier) I can tell you that nobody is giving a crap about anyone about themselves. Sometimes someone really large would come in and I'd say they got a brief look, like a fraction of a second, then folks went back to being self-absorbed. The only people I…

I'm in; I'm a few weeks into losing 100+ as well.

I order their skinny hot chocolate. For me it tastes better than their normal version, that tends to upset my stomach. It's still a treat though, I think a tall is 110 and a grande is 150 calories. For a food treat I get the Bantam bagel bites. There are two of them in an order and it is a great way to get a bagel and…

I love saying 'health'; I wish we could do that in the States! Yep, nothing innocent in the 'bless you' as it perpetuates nonsense (and in the States I'm pretty sure most 'merika type thinkers actually think they have a demon causing them to sneeze)!

I'm also in the 100+ to lose group; just started two weeks ago. My brain is different this time. I'm doing this for all the right reasons.

Sizes are not what they used to be (assuming you're in the US). A size 8 back in the day is now a size 6, maybe even a 4. So when you wind up at goal in a size 4 or 6, you are really at your old size 8. I kept a skirt I had from the early 90s. It's a size 6. It's so small. If it were in the store today it would likely be…

add me too! I'm in my 2nd week and plenty left to lose!

Where I live it's 99.9999% Christian and of those it's 90% Catholic so it's not easy being rationale!

This is funny; I have gotten most people at work trained to ignore when I sneeze and if someone does bless me I just say excuse me (as in excuse me for sneezing); I don't say thank you. I also say nothing when someone else sneezes and when questioned I mention I also say nothing when they fart so basically anything coming…

I hope this group gets active. I grew up Jewish but not super religious. I had to have a bat mitvah and my older brother did too. The two oldest siblings didn't. Go figure. I was never religious and got kicked out of hebrew school often for pointing out all the inconsistencies (old testament is full of 'em). Married a very…

Add me too!

Hi, I am new and looking to join up with people for support I weight 254 pounds and my goal is 144 (eventually to 139).

Thank you!
