Can someone help me out? Everytime I go to the website to see the before and after pics - there are none? How is everyone seeing this? I'm not usually pc challenged, but I guess I am today - LOL

Your hard work paid off, you look wonderful! Just don't get too obsessed (I know that's your name, but...lol), I think you'd look WAY too skinny if you lost much more. Based on what you said you eat everyday, it's a little concerning, not only is it definitley not enough calories, but you don't have any fats you're eating, not even the good fats which your body needs.

Please take care & congrats on the loss!

I'm sorry to sound negative, but this post screams eating disorder. Obsession, you sound like you're starving yourself. I'm worried about your health in the long run.

Does anyone else see this? You all are congratulating her on her weightloss, but I don't think she is doing it in a very healthy way.

Just MHO. Sorry for the negativity.

110 lbs at 5'5" is a BMI of 18.3, which is officially 'underweight'. I don't think that's a healthy goal. Please see someone about your eating disorder now, not later.

its due to my constant fear of fat that will assist me in maintaining my weight loss. i know i wont gain anything back as long as i discipline myself for a lifetime, which will be easy since ive been doing it for this long. but yea ill still get help for it regardless. im so contradicting. :|

ps: okay 112lbs then.

wow, you look great! I have to say that I agree you should not go down to 110. You should just maintain. I know that lower numbers seem attractive, but the results it gives, sometimes, just does not look good. Plus, if you do go to 110, you might feel it's not good enough and you will want to go lower. I have yet to share my story on this board, but last year in August, I weighed 89 lbs. Big difference from my current weight. I wanted the numbers to go lower and lower, and I didn't see what everyone else saw. I saw pictures, and I looked horrible. Fast foward to today, with binge eating, I gained weight fast.

I am back on learning to eat right and to lose weight. I working on this but my current goal weight which is 105 is considered underweight for my height. I am 5'3".
I am trying to convince myself to move it up to 113, which is the minimum for my height. Needless to say, I have an eating disorder, and I am no way saying this would happen to you. Just keep in mind, you look perfect the way you are. I even joined weight watchers to learn to eat right. I don't want to go into treatment for an eating disorder.

Like I posted earlier, I am also concerned about your health - even though you look great, your body could be starving for nutrients on the inside. Eating disorders are nothing to play around with. You should watch an upcoming Dr. Phil show - he is going to be dealing with a woman who has an eating disorder and is on her death bed because she wanted to keep losing weight and refused to stop.....

Eating disorder or not - you are one beautiful girl Obsessed! I know how the thought of going back to being fat must terrify you, but you can be slim and healthy and eat well. Don't ruin your good looks by becoming gaunt and bony!

All the best
