I am having a hard time with this. I moved to a new town 5 months ago, and havent really made any friends, I work with a lot of great people but I am too shy to push myself on them or their out of work activities. I would love to meet new people.

I am having a really hard time with this very thing. I was a 26-28 and just bought work out clothes in a 12 -14, it amazed me!!!!! My logical brain knows I am smaller, but when I try to move thru crowds I still worry about bumping people, and wondering if people are looking at me, because I still feel big. I am hoping that with time my brain will catch up to the rest of me.

GGGGOOOOAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!
LOL Goal was below 200, and I am 198.2. Yippee!
Hmm... it's slowing down, so I'm gonna go with 185 for Halloween. I don't know if I'll get there by then, but I'll try!!

ok, is it me....or did they change this to look like the main board? LOL Well, inching closer to my goal I set of 220......I am at 223.4 as of this morning.....so hopefully those 3 lil pesky pounds will drop off this next week....as for my Halloween goal....hmmmmm have to think for a sec on that one! I'm gonna be conservative this time maybe......so I can actually maybe reach my goal and then have to change it....that'd be sweet....so lets say....oh gosh I really wanna shoot for onederland, but I will say 207 and see what happens LOL Anyways, have a good rest of the weekend and great week! I'll check back if I have anything different to report!

I don't know about everyone else, but I know that I will never forget how big I was and how bad I looked. And yes, sometimes it's the preop person looking back at me, but not always.

I don't know if I'm shy or not. I never felt invisible, always just the opposite. I didn't like it, but I always felt like I stood out like a sore thumb! Now I feel "normal" but I don't think my attitude towards meeting people has changed.

I do a couple of different routines that are for all over. I don't necessarily concentrate on any one specific area. Two or three times a week, I lift weights (circuit, medicine ball or machines), and about 5 times a week, I do cardio, which lately has been walking. This past week, I walked 28 miles!

I agree with V V. Sometimes I see the real me and sometimes I see the old me. Maybe that's just my mind learning to see the real me, and someday, I won't see the old me anymore.

I know my best friend is the same on this. We didn't truly realize how large we were. Now, everytime she tells me she feels like she's not lost significant weight, I whip out her before picture. There's no denying the difference then! The same with me.... I'm actually disgusted when I look at my old pictures. Even my wedding video - I feel like I was a monster.
