My husband says I look sickly in the face and lost to much weight. My highest weight was 291. When I started my journey I was 263. SW 249 now today I am 180. Dr says I lost 82 pounds since I stepped into her office and I am looking good. I was looking to loose another 15 pounds, but today someone else said I look sickly. I thought I looked good. Now concerned about loosing another pound.

I don't think you look sickly at all. You have not reached a normal BMI yet for your height so I would keep on losing if that's what you want to do.

Dont let others opinions dictate what you do. People get used to seeing us overweight and they don't know what a healthy weight looks like.

We never win with people's opinions. When we are overweight we are called names, when we lose weight we are called names. You look beautiful and keep losing if that is your goal. As long as your doctor says you are within healthy limits, keep losing. I can only see a gorgeous human in this picture.

You do not look sickly. I had the same comments from some people back in 2001 when I lost a ton of weight on Atkins. He's used to seeing your face a certain way. Sickly is being 100lbs overweight! Good job!

I think you look healthy and fantastic! Sometimes people get used to seeing us a certain way. Even if it's an overweight and unhealthy way, that's is how they're used to seeing us. Just like our brains have to catch up to our eyes, theirs do too. And sadly, our faces lose more fat than we'd like . There are always dermal fillers if you felt that way!

Thank you everyone, makes me feel better. All that matters is how I feel about myself

U look so good my stats are about the same as it's. HW 290 SW 250 CW 184. My face changes a lot . I wanna reach 175.

I think you look amazing!!!! Omg! You must feel so good too!! When my aunt lost 60lbs on Jenny Craig, she looked sickly to me but more in a vitamin deficient/full of artificial stuff and chemicals kind of way. She lacked color in her skin. You look vibrate and have color in your cheeks. And try not to shame yourself about the cupcake. Instead focus on how good it tasted and how awesome it is you only had one!! You look amazing!

You look amazing!!!! I have to remember all that matters is how I feel.

Thank you everyone for you kind words. We are all amazing!!!!

I think you look great!! Super cute! Remember you did this for you and no one else!! Congrats on your success! I also have similar stats to yours but am only 3days post-op. Your hair also looks really healthy and shiny! Youve been taking good care of yourself!

You do not look sickly- like the first response said- people get used to you heavy and will get used to you thin! I think you look great!

I think you look great. At the end of the day you have to get to the weight that makes you HAPPY and HEALTHY because nobody knows exactly how your body feels but you when you are having issues caused by being overweight. Keep doing what you are doing. Hopefully your husband will realize how important it is for you to reach your goal. Good Luck!!!
