Today I'm finally in the overweight category as far as my BMI goes. Very cool!

I feel as though my appetite has increased recently, so I was worried that I was eating too much. That's despite sticking to my macro goals and weighing my meals.

The strangest thing about losing 79 pounds is that I feel as though I look the same as I did 6 months ago. The mind is a dangerous thing!

Congrats on leaving the obese ranks! I feel that I look the same as well, but I can definitely tell when I need to fit into certain areas, like a small chair, that I have drastically changed. Keep up the good work!!

I have lost 78 pounds (though I still have another 75 to go before I'm out of obese range) and I too feel like I look the same. Luckily I took high weight pics and the day before surgery pics after I lost 50. I plan to take more pics at 1 month post op and again at 3 and 6 months post op just so I can see the difference. My eyes have never been honest with me when looking in a mirror. But they certainly are when looking at photographs. lol

I hear you. The chair thing is noticeable, also sitting on hard surfaces is much more uncomfortable now.

Dang, I wish I had taken before pics, but I avoided cameras like the Plague. People are telling me that I'm wasting away, so I'll have to trust them!

I wish I had taken photos also. I look for pics and realize I hid from the camera a lot.

Congrats on your weight loss!

I took photos the day before surgery. I had on a sports bra and pj bottoms. I don't think I had really looked at my body in a very long time. It broke my heart and shocked me. I am taking pics tomorrow which will be four weeks out. I don't think there will be a big difference but I'm going to do it every month along with measuring myself. It was advice given to me by someone on here and I'm glad I took it even though it was painful to see myself.
