to be honest, my biggest fear would be gaining all my weight back. i know that i'm losing weight the right way and that i'm making positive changes in my life that won't let that happen, but the fear's there all the same!

I think my biggest fear is not making it to my goal. I lost over 60 pounds several years ago. It took me two years, but I just couldn't seem to make it to my goal. I still weighed 197.

My second biggest fear is gaining it all back because as much as I vowed that would never happen, it has (and brought along a few friends).

I also empathize with those of you fearing the negative male attention. That bothers me too.

I have a fear about all the loose, saggy skin too...my neck is all wrinkly, but as for the rest of the body, so far so good.

I have always had issues with men and feel like I've gained weight to avoid them. Now that I'm losing weight, I am getting more attention, and now I fear that I may grow bitter about men - I live in a small town and all these guys who wouldn't look at me, are now looking at me. I am kinda looking at them with disgust and even though I know my personality has changed and maybe that's added to why they're more attracted, I still can't get past the fact that Mr. X who wasn't interested, now is. I fear the bitterness has already started to set in. Great...now a whole new issue with men I have to work on!

My biggest fear is extra and/or sagging skin. :(

I'm absolutly terrified that I might end up with that.... :cry:

My biggest fear is that I will have a lot of extra skin and still won't be happy with what I see

My biggest fear is that I'll lose the weight and nothing in my life will change...everything will stay the same except I'll be smaller.

Yes! Totally! What if I'm still a miserable person after all of this weight is gone? What if all this time I blamed being overweight on so much of my unhappiness and once I'm no longer overweight - I'll realize that I'm just an unhappy person? I think that is the number one fear for me as well.

im afraid of male attn as well, so im taking kung fu lessons now while i can. hee hee.

j/k ...sorta

i think like most ppl, its the sking issue. but i say id rather have saggy skin then fatty skin, ill look hotter in my new skinny clothes that way! but if i really really got a choice, there would be no saggy skin at all :D

I´m afraid I won´t get to goal, everytime I get close to it, I unconsciously sabotage myself

And like Rhonda very well said, I´m really afraid that nothing will change, that I´ll get there and it will still be the same, but only I´ll be smaller.
