Currently down about 120lbs after 8 years of going up and down. Net loss is 200lbs, given I had some regains over the years. Now, I’m down from 300lbs to 178lbs and ever since I passed 185lbs, I’ve had a lot more oppurtunities with women.

It feels weird, not gonna lie, it just sorta happened out of nowhere. A lot more women smile at me, talk to me, and look at me more. The attention I started getting just feels like a glimpse really. Not massive amounts, but noticably more. I’m still 10lbs away from being done entirely, as I do still look a bit husky at 178lbs.

Though, it’s not just women, but people in general have been treating me better, even strangers. I will finally reach normal weight for the first time ever in the next couple weeks (173lbs according to my BMI) and I can’t be more excited to finally see it!

For those who lost weight, what was it like for you? Did people start treating you differently?

    Most people who respect you won’t say anything until you do. I wouldn’t comment on someone’s weight in either direction unless they mentions it and confirmed it was intentional. There are plenty of cases where the weight loss is because of a disorder or disease, and it could be a sensitive subject. Definitely not something to congratulate them over.
