Ht. 6'0", Start: 200 lb, Today: 180 lb, Goal: 160 lb - Okay I think I might have an image problem. I've lost 20 pounds. It's great! I've gotten so many compliments. But for some reason I feel like I'm back where I started and I really do not know why and I feel like I need to lose another 20 pounds just so I can feel confident again. But what if I continue this and just become like anorexic. I mean...ugh. I think 160 would be great for someone of my heaight though as long as I do it healthy and eat god stuff and exercise daily. You know? I think that's good enough. THat's what I'm going to try and do. I just worry that I might be getting obsessive.

dude i know exactly what you mean, i've lost almost 50 pounds already, but because its hit a standstill i feel like i need to lose more weight to get more compliments. its like an addiction, losing weight to feel good. i know where you're coming from. because honestly, 50 pounds lighter i still feel the same as before, even though im way skinnier

yea i don't think 160 is un reasonable for your height. i wouldn't start to worry about being obsessive unless you get down to 160 and still want to lose more. idk i think that's pretty common for people when they lose weight to still feel the same way they did about themselves when they were heavy. but good luck!
