The thinner/shapelier you get...the more oppressive attention from Men. Le sigh.

I'm looking forward to leaving a lot of people on 'read', and getting secret revenge. I've always been attractive, even at my highest near 260lbs but I've known there's an even hotter lady underneath. I remember those who would discourage me from losing. Ex, 'friends' asking me to dull my shine, potentials picking at my…

Arm lift and tummy tuck in Sep. I want to be as healthy as possible for better healing and results.

The smaller I get I notice friends and family (even new friends if you were thinner when you met them) notice and make comments on how little you eat. Apparently half the dish is too little. "Eat. You haven't eaten anything. Come here, come eat." >< Yet specifically when I was 260lbs not a word was spoken from my relatives…

I head back to London next month and I'm super motivated to slim down to look and feel my best.

That there may come a time in your journey where you're so busy being active living life that you blink and are down another 10, 15, 20lbs. And that the fear and anxiety you had all along wasn't real. I became a Nomad last year and moved to Europe and my quality of life has improved greatly. I walk everywhere that doesnt…

Yassss. I have been starring at the Halloween Costume for well over a year now hanging from my dresser. Time to fit in it. CW:239 GW for the challenge:175

I'd like to lose 30lbs in 3 months by my birthday, March, 31st :D I'll take myself shopping and do a mini-makeover. Nails, eye brow threading, and perhaps a blowout, shampoo, and trim.

That when planning vacations I make sure the accommodations include a fitness room or gym, or that I'm in an area with a high walk score. It occurred to me earlier while looking at the facility photos that I was leafing through just to see the gym space. Previously that wouldn't have even crossed my mind before this…

That sometimes you have to look back at how far you've come to stay the course in where you're going. Oh, and self-sabotage is a sneaking kitten, a bump in the road purposely meant to throw you off, so watch out for her, and step on over her.

Awesome. Thank you so much!

Would love to join as well of it's not too late. I just now read that the cut off was noon but that you're accepting late joins. I suppose we will hsve to wait until Thursday to weigh in?

I've had fb for years but I don't use it that often, in fact my family and friends don't even know I've lost weight and that's how I intend to keep it until they see me. I'm just not all that into social media. Get one if you want and use it for your needs, other than that, just don't log in.

You look very fit and amazing! Congrats!

Yess! I have two vacation trips and a class picnic to go to in June-July and I want to drop 29 odd pounds. Giving myself 14 weeks.

Great job! I admire your focus.

I have as I had my days where I hate to work out. It's just calories in calories out. I'm also 5'7" and we all have different genes. However, I didn't like the way I looked without the exercise. Skinny-fat. My body looks better with fitness mixed in and weights as I gain both muscle and fat, fast and tight looks better on…

It depends on your genes. If you were cute/pretty/handsome as a larger person, you're going to be pretty/cute/handsome, after. If you weren't necessarily born with an attractive face, you're not going to have one when you lose the weight, either. Your body will be attractive/normal but your face is your face.

Lost 10lbs, not by Feb 28th, but still! 1lb away from being out of the 220s. I haven't been 220 since I first started losing and joined MFP 6 years ago. Next goal is to get down to 215 which will be my lowest adult weight so far. I got down to 217 in 2011 but 2017 I'm going all the way to goal. Fook it, lol.

Down 2lbs. Can't wait for more. Hope everyone is kicking butt.

Been lurking for a while. Would love to join in and am focusing on losing 40-45lbs by July. I'll be 75lbs down total by then. I work out 5x a week, lightly lift for 3, and count my calories. Going to DC for Independence Day week to visit family, and Europe in late July and want to look smokin' hot.

I have adult A.D.D and was prescribed Adderall XR but stopped because it gave me even more anxiety. I sometimes use herbal refreshments help with focus, hehe and I just mix things up. This just means I weigh myself randomly, i never eat at the same time, etc. The only issue i had was forcing myself to do things i hated…

How easy you notice loss and gain in your hands and forearms. I'm at that point where my hands and forearms are slimming down. That line where you start seeing a sliver of tendons just under skin, and your wrist bone emerging. I swear in 3-4 days I can see if I've gained a few or lost a few just by looking down at my…

Took a walk to the corner shop and caught my much slimmer shadow. Feels great!

I started at 258 and am down 33lbs but pushing for another 50-60lbs by midsummer, it took me about 15lbs to see a difference. I also felt better, too.

Losing at least 6lbs by Feb 28th. It's part of a larger 50lb-60lb by mid summer goal but little changes daily will help me reach it.

You're doing great! If you keep kicking butt, people are going to eventually notice (probably around your 160's) depending on your height, where you wear your weight, and your goal weight. And I'm right there with you. It's tough shedding the BBW label, but it no longer defines the person we want to be at the end of the…

What's your shape? Hourglass, Apple, Inverted Triangle, Spoon? I think weight loss targets the most weight from the areas we're largest. If you're top heavy, and your boobs/belly go down, people will probably notice. If you're an hourglass you'll probably lose it all over, and if you're an apple, people will probably…

I think it all depends on your height and how you wear your weight. I'm 5'7" and mostly top heavy with a chubby face. Any loss in my face or upper body and people notice because my bottom half is already thinned out. They always assume I've lost more than I have, but then no one's ever been able to guess my weight even at…

So awesome! I'm currently at 223 now from 258 and can't wait to break into ONEderland!
