[Thighs Be Gone]

Basically I am with Geogeshair above as far as why I don't share with too many people.

After I lost weight I moved towns. Many people here don't know I have lost weight. I have a couple of girlfriends I have shared with the past year. Basically they are pretty surprised when I do share.

I share with everyone!!
I post scale pics on facebook every Monday (even when the numbers go UP!), and I also use Noom on my Droid which tracks my walks & workouts which I also post directly to facebook. (It also tracks other stuff, but I only post the walks & workouts)...
With my in-person friends, I talk about it a lot as well.

Sure, between facebook and in-person friends I get a LOT of dumb advice. But I have learned a long time ago to just shrug that stuff off and keep doing what I'm doing.

I'm not about keeping this journey a secret in any way... Keeping secrets is part of what got me here.
I wanna take the shame out of being big/trying to be smaller!

Thanks everyone for sharing your ways with regards to my question....and also for all the kind words. I'm glad to know that I can always come here and post about anything that comes to mind.

This. The only exception to that was when I'd lost a total of 40 lbs, and it was impossible for people to not notice the change. It was more of a commentary about how great it was to finally find doctors who would listen to me.

I'm a big fan of sharing my successes with online weight loss buddies.

My most significant reward is how I feel and look and being able to fit into something I haven't worn for awhile. A new outfit in a smaller size is a good gauge.

I'm doing this for myself. It can be liberating to forget trying to please others. It is nice when others acknowledge the results on their own.

I sometimes post on twitter when I've reached a goal and I'm excited. Otherwise unless people ask/comment I don't say anything. However I lost 30lbs, it's pretty hard for people NOT to notice (especially since I'm short!) so I'm constantly fielding questions about how I took the weight off.

I don't really talk about it with anyone, just focused on getting to my goal weight, and i kinda think it can be more pressure when people are expecting you to get results, yknow?

In saying that my lovely boyfriend is super supportive so i have him, but other than that, just all you lovely ladies on here!
