[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to other states. I think in the DMV people are much more fit than the rest of the country. I don't want to pick on the midwest or south, but nearly everyone is obese. And obese is just 30lbs more than your ideal weight. [/quote]

Yes, I think people sometimes have this idea of what obese looks like, but someone who is 5’7” and obese at 195 is not going to look that huge, really (especially if your mental image is 300+).[/quote]
[b]I'm 5'7 and 150 and I look and feel plump. Not bothered enough by it to take injections, though. Just good old fashioned eat less, move more and try to drop 10-15 by summer.[/b][/quote]

Close in size here at 5'7.5" and 154. I have a lot of muscle, but am taking the same approach of trying to drop a bit before summer. (10 is my goal and my shorts and swimming suit are a bit too snug for comfort right now.)

It's funny though - knowing so many people who take the injections, I am starting to feel like I'm borderline "fat" because they've all gotten so darn skinny. Body image issues suck :/

My sister has had plastic surgery for the loose skin and face/neck droopiness so generally looks beautiful, but overall still just does not look "well" somehow. I think it is because she's lost so much muscle despite working hard to stay strong and retain the muscle during the weight loss.[/quote]
