Hey guys, just checking in. 13 pounds from goal. Here is a picture of my girlfriend and I. I hope everyone is doing well [edit] Also, I know you guys always wanted to see a picture of me smiling. Here you go.

mine used to be on the right, but it migrated to the middle as i got smaller.

I had this problem up until I met my current girlfriend, she gave me that positive reinforcement. It's really hard sometimes because people don't usually like to say "You could still lose a few pounds" or anything like that so it is harder to gauge how people view you. It's a lot easier to accept the new you if you like yourself. Non-scale victories are a pretty good indicator as well.

My recent NSV was moving into a size 32, now I'm almost a size 30

Hey guys, it's been a long time since I've checked in so I thought I would update you all. Today I hit 199, woo :biggrin: Only 14 pounds away from goal. To Celebrate, here are some pictures.

Hey guys, whats up. Kinda long time poster here just checkin in on this thread. Big Jake - For me it was roughly 3 weeks, I could have gone sooner but I had to wait for the doc to give me the ok

no fills here :-/

I'm in the same boat. I think it's the fact that we aren't comfortable with ourselves as of yet. I'd say give it time, but I really have no idea.
