I’m so impressed! 

looking good what hard work congratulations 

I'm impressed with how you lost the weight so quickly. You sound like you have fulls days and not much down time. I'm going to follow you for some tips I've just read about body types. You are the 1st real person to talk about how we see ourselves and body types. I'm big boned, non-technical term for mesomorph.. I now believe the one size fit all programs doesnt work. I'm looking for a plan that's sustainable, meaning not starving myself. This is my 3rd time losing weight.  

Congrats on the results of your hard work! I agree, body image is a weird thing. I'm usually getting it wrong. It's not rational, more emotional. 

I hit maintenance 6/7/2016. I’d catch a glimpse of myself in a window when out shopping and think… who’s that?? I lost 120# and was heavy , or should I say yoyo’d slim a short while back to chubby. Finally at 61yo became the person I was meant to be. That I am now. So sweetie you are way ahead of this old blockhead! And eventually your mind ,and body do come on line. If I see myself in a mirror, or store window, I know it’s me but it took time. 

So true! You look great! 

looking great!!! 

You are looking awesome! Keep up the work. 

Thank you very much @Penny @Ettenauj @Kasha @Ridemariel @Ddperbab2 @Erikahollister Thank you so much @Davidsprincess, seriously, same! I would know I was way overweight but wouldn't think it was that bad. Bu then when I'd look at old photos from when I was bigger, I'd literally almost start crying. @ACBellerose, thank you :) I really don't have much down time but I do my best. That's all we can do right? :) I think the best plan is just to stick to whole foods and only eat at home. But everyone is different. And yeah, learning about body types really helped me to understand that not everyone needs to follow diet trends to lose weight. Good luck on your journey! @Bgr12 I cant wait to reach that point! To walk passed a mirror in a store and recognize myself. I still do a double-take. But now that I have absolutely no plans of getting pregnant again and doing this crap all over again, maybe I'll have enough time to get used to how I look now. Thank you!  

You look great 

Thanks! @paula 

Oh girl!!!! You are so lovely in both pictures! Maybe also because I like your heart so much... ❤️ You are rocking this post baby body. Do not for a second worry about a particular number. Being the shape and fitness you want and having a healthy, maintainable lifestyle is the best goal! Yay for you progressing to where you want to be!  

Thank you so much @missy You're the best ❤️ 

You look beautiful! I 2nd the observation about seeing ourselves in the mirror. I definitely have that as well.  

I always say I have the opposite of BDD. I'm the heaviest I've ever been and some days feel like a sz 9 😆 but I'm not. Far from it. The mind has a terrible way of messing with us 

lookin sleek !!!! 🙂 

Thank you! @Maine coon, @Alaina, and @Diana 😁 

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 

There is nothing big about you, that is for sure! Do celebrate the beautiful results of your hard work! :)) 

That is so true!! I just try to focus on feeling healthier. I also use clothing size as a guide.
