[quote=Anonymous]Didn't read the thread, but congratulations on losing weight, OP! I'm hitting 50, and need to lose 20 pounds, so I'm jealous that you did it!! I don't care if my face gets gaunt, I need to lose this fatty menopot I've developed around my middle. That's extremely unhealthy, and it's got to go.

Over 50, your looks are not going to remain the same. I've found that once I've gotten used to looking older, I don't mind how I look, and I actually think I'm more attractive than I was when I was in my 30s and 40s.

I'm sorry your colleagues are making you feel badly, OP. Just ignore them. If you want to lose 10 more pounds, do it if you are certain you are not getting obsessive about weight loss.

I was in a gym (not mine) the other day and saw a living skeleton! I could see this woman's knee joints very clearly -- it was sickening, like seeing a walking case of severe mental illness. Why the EMTs were not carting her away, I don't know. So, if you are like this woman, OP, do not lose another ounce, and get thee to a psychiatrist PRONTO!

If you truly need to lose another 10 pounds to get to a healthier weight (hey, if you started at 250 and are now 200, you are still overweight, unless you are a giant), then do it and don't listen to anyone.

Don't get a facelift, just wait a while, until you get used to the new you! And find some new colleagues and some new friends who appreciate you for who you are. [/quote]
