I tried to post this here before, but I did "New Topic" rather than "reply to" and ended up with a whole 'nother thread, trying to hog the limelight! bad me!

Anyhow, I'd like to be added to the Fabulous fifty club, please!

I can't tell you that Mike - it is euphoric every day.

I have decided to begin transition on 11/15. I am guessing that I'll be at about 152-153 then. Whatever it is will become my final goal as I was never dead set at getting to exactly 150.

I am really feeling the need to get to transition and then on to maintenance so that I can live with myself at this weight for a while. I also want to work out a bit more - just got a weight lifting routine from the fitness center at work so I want/need to add calories so that I am able to do that and get the benefit of some additional tonig.

I plan to maintain/tone for about 6 months and then reassess in May. At that point I might be happy with where I am or may decide I want to lose another 5-10 lbs and jump back on the full fast for a couple of weeks.

I think I also need a bit more time to truly see myself as I am now. In my heart of hearts, I still think of myself as, if not fat, then chubby. I honestly don't think that's what others see when they look at me anymore though. I asked my husband the other day if he was just meeting me whether he would think I was fat. He said, "you mean now?" and I said yes. He said "no, of course not" with such disbelief and said, "why - you don't think you look fat, do you - you look great!". The point is that I can certainly see how far I've come, can see what sizes I fit into which intellectually tell me I'm not fat, but I haven't yet been able to really internalize it - maybe I never will. All I know is that now that I'm here, I'm not going back to where I was. Here is SOOOO much better.

And Mike - special thinks to you for always being here for me and everyone else. You don't know how much you've helped me stay focused and on plan for all these months.

WOW – every bit of this paragraph is me to a “T” I fit in a regular (tall) large shirt. I even have a wonderful Medifast polo “large” that fits just perfectly. I go shopping or browsing – cause I really hate shopping for clothes, which could be a direct result of years of embarrassment of having to go shopping at Omar’s. I think the same way as you! Will these thoughts ever go away? Beats me. If not, then so be it, it still is 100,000% worth it.


I honestly don't think that's what others see when they look at me anymore though. I asked my husband the other day if he was just meeting me whether he would think I was fat.


I have asked my sister (about 4 years my junior, she is almost 39) – cause it’s an unbiased truthful opinion. She says from an HONEST opinion I am HOT! Oh my – me hot? Wait, I am still the fat guy – no, you don’t look that way at all. She said in a crowd, she would NEVER see me as overweight in anyway.

It’s been close to a year, I still think I am the “chubby/fat” guy, though I know it’s not true, by size of the clothes I wear. I think it’s still a difficult view/acceptance for me, being obese for 41+ years; this is STILL new to me, but definitely worth it!


Some on this board were skinny or skinner at some time in their life, so they know what it feels like, thus their goal to get there again. For a lot of us (especially me) it is still like Christmas every day. The newness in most ways has not worn off. I still get some sort of comment/compliment (twice today already) relating to “skinny” or “good looking” and it still makes me take a step back, and realize how worth it, it all was.

What does LW say?

NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD THIN FEELS! Dang she is right.

Amen.

Sylvia, thanks for the vote of confidence, please don’t go anywhere after your there, which is so close. Many here need your insight, and assistance towards maintenance.
