I'm a teacher, so just last week, I began associating again with coworkers after having the summer off.

"How much weight have you lost? How much weight are you losing?" That was the tone. I had a couple of "You're looking buff..." comments too, which was nice.

But about weight loss, I weigh a little more than I did the last time these people saw me! In fact, my pants are getting a little tight, so I think I may have gained a little too much fat in this cycle.

But again today at church, I was told that I look like I have lost more weight!

It is obviously a weight distribution/body composition thing. In fact, going by the BMI, I am overwieght! But my pants (althogu getting tight) are 29 and 30 inch waists. How's that for overweight?!?
 
comments like that make me want to hang myself! I get that all the time b/c I have reasonable well-developed muscles on a small frame. I also have a buddy at work who's 5'7" and 175 lbs. of flab. I'm 6', about 190, & lean, but whenever he describes himself he'll say something like "guys w/ normal builds- like us."

Part of my siuation is that I am 5/ 6&quot; and weighed 200# a few short years ago. So a lot of folks think of that and look at me now and think, &quot;He's still losing weight...&quot;
 
^^ then if that's you in your avatar, you've come a long way! I'm from the other camp- used to be 6' and 135 lbs. in high school. I finally broke 200 lbs. earlier this year (at age 37), but felt a little soft so I've trimmed down a little.
