Thanks. I am happy with the progress I've made. I do feel though now I am on the other end of being judged. Not for being too big now, but people judge me now for being so small. Weird I never thought I'd feel like I was too small but even the nutritionist I saw was looking at my arms telling me I was just skin and bones.

Do you mind if I ask what what was your starting weight??

I have bypass scheduled for this Wednesday. I am 5 ft 205 lbs. I have this same fear. I don't want to look sick either.

Although I don't believe you look bad at all.

My starting weight was actually 229. I actually was feeling better about myself and weighed about 15lbs more when I was working out. I've promised myself that I'm going to start back at the gym within this week. Hopefully I will gain my weight back. :)

More importantly, I hope you gain that confidence back!!!!! ????????

You look good. Your body has had a major change. Don't worry about what other people think. Some people will criticize no matter what you do. Let's face it....some are jealous also. You are getting healthy, you look good. BE HAPPY ! I've lost from 247 to 170 with 25 more lbs to go....to reach my goal weight. I look and feel so much better. I too have had negative comments about me, about the surgery.

Thank you :) Actually it's been a long time since I've been on this app. I have since started to work out for bodybuilding shows. I've increased my weight to 125 and put on some nice muscle now. My body fat % ranges between 16-18% during the off season and for the show I'll be down to 8-10%. Amazing how life has changed.
