Ht. 5'8, Wt. 178ish - One more thing I'm reading alot about ppl telling others to become gainers. Why go back if you lost so much. I lost 50 pounds so far and I've looked back at all these different pictures of me through the years and I'm so proud of myself that I came this far and I'm still going. Of course it's peoples choices to do what they want with there bodies but my advice is don't become a gainer. Well at least I know I will NEVER go back to what I weighed. I'm moving on with my life. When I weighed the 225 - 230 pounds I felt ugly and never got a boyfriend or anything. Now I weigh about 175 (on the border line) and I have a wonderful boyfriend who means the world to me and I couldn't be happier. I fit in alot more cute clothes. I never would have worn a mini skirt when I weighed 225 pounds and yesterday I went shopping and bought 2 mini skirts. I love them:) I'm just telling you all to do what you want but I know I will never ever look back on what I was. I'm going to the caymen islands in 06' and I'm so excited it will be alot more fun with a better body you enjoy yourself more. Well I do. My advice is follow your heart.

I agree 100% with Brandon, I mean personnality does matter but no offense people dont want to date people who are too unacttractive. Looks do matter in the end and you all know it, looks and a combination of personnality is real important. I say if you want to lose weight to help your social life go right ahead, thats an excellent reason to motivate you and get you healthy at the same time.

so what ur pretty much saying is that if you have good looks you have no personality? well who are the people who have good looks supposed to date? there are plenty of people out there that have wonderful personalities, and they are attractive, but they want someone attractive too. just face it, ITS THE HUMAN WAY. plus before i lost my weight (still got abot 20 lbs to go) i didnt want a boyfriend, i didnt feel comfortable enough with it. so just leave her alone. im sure her boyfriend is a wonderful person.

That's not why I lost weight. I lost weight for myself so I can better myself. But I'm saying that I got a boyfriend too and I'm happy that's what I said. You took that wrong.

Yes, a lot of people are shallow enough to go for looks, but in reality, what are you getting? Just some hot person with no personality, maybe even someone you have nothing in common with. In my opinion, not worth it. I recently went out with someone just because I thought he was hot(didn't really have any feelings for him otherwise) and lets just say, I'd give anything for someones personality over someone being hot. But as I said, most people are shallow enough to go for just looks. If the only way a person can lose weight is by having a guy/girl as motivation, then good for you. At least they have motivation. If a person can't like you for who you are, overweight, thin, or whatever, then they're not worth your time.

So what if she lost weight for a boy?Maybe she just needed the confidence to ask him out, and losing the weight helped her.I'm tired of hearing not to lose it for guys or girls.That if they don't like your personality than they're not worth it.I hate to say this, but it's a fat person comment.It's what people say to help them get over a person that they can't be with because they're fat.How many people do you see that are together just because of personality?Not that many.You know why?Because looks DO matter.

basically what you're dsaying is the only reason you lost weight was to get a boyfriend....if you needed to get thinner to geta boyfriend then people are really shallow about looks, think about that one
