I don't think I realized how significantly overweight I was. I mean--- obviously seeing 335 at my heaviest on the scale told me that but I'm just still so surprised at how much that actually is.

I've lost 90 pounds - down to 245 in just 5 months. Yet, I still am a XXL and still am always the biggest person in the room and still feel HUGE. I know my face is different and I can FEEL lighter. But 90 pounds down and I still have at least 50 more to go which is WAY less than what i've already lost- yet I still feel HUGE.

I struggle with this too! I have a hard time looking at myself and really getting a sense of how big I am. I am 6 1/2 months out and have lost 89 lbs. I went from an 18/20 to an 8, but still sometimes look at clothes and think, "there is no way I will fit in those". Yet I do.

@@aelovelady - that's what is getting to me! i lost 90 pounds but i went from barely fitting into an XXXL to have a XXL be loose. However, realistically 335 IS a lot...

it's just strange.

Your doing so great, I know it seems like you still have so much to go but, you will be there before you know it! I like to take mine in tens, like ok..now I'm out of the 250's, now Im out of the 240's ..you know? It's just easier if you do smaller goals like that. We all got the surgery because we had more than 100lbs to loose and that can be such a discouraging number when your in the throws of weight loss. But, just think of what great bragging rights your going to have when you throw your weight loss number out there later on in conversation! lol
