Completely understandable. I've dropped 45 pounds so far, and I ran into an old friend while playing racquetball. He said he barely recognized me! Feels good when people notice, even if the scale isn't always moving.
Congratulations! It's remarkable how many people are losing weight, particularly around their midsections. Makes you wonder if there's something fundamentally wrong with the SAD (Standard American Diet) that's causing excess belly fat and other issues.
You look wonderful! Congratulations on the health gains; that's truly inspiring. Treat yourself to a new wardrobe; there will probably be sales after the holidays! You deserve clothes that fit! :)
That's fantastic! I'm currently at 220, trying to get down to 150. I started around 275, so seeing results like this is really motivating! Congratulations on your success! I agree with Snack-AF, wishing you the best!
That's the million-dollar question Lee_32. It seems like lifestyle changes are key to maintaining the weight loss long term. The medication gives you a kickstart, but you have to build new habits.
I've noticed something similar. For years, I ate what I thought was healthy, but still struggled with my weight and insulin resistance. It's frustrating when you feel like your body is working against you.
