Confused about this side effect of weight loss.

Through 2016-2017 I went from 260 pounds to 160 pounds, I now workout everyday and have an active job and once even went down to 150 that I purposefully tried to get back above.

But after all that I have this weird problem with my belly. Most of the time I walk relaxed and normal and look okay with a bit of loose skin. But I feel like I suck in even if subconsciously because if I release and completely relax my gut, I have quite a bit of belly there, like for my weight or seems like just too much, the worst part is that it hurts, like my gut wants to pop and just explode but I don't feel like I am putting any pressure on it. It can be really demoralizing when I do tons of exercising and core workouts everyday to still have this gut. I have no idea what it can be, I don't think loose skin alone would be this bad. Anyone have any ideas?

Has anyone received more attention from the opposite sex after losing weight?

Hi everyone. This is mainly directed towards women but other input is fine too. I am 20 lbs down in my weight loss and am losing weight mostly to get a bf. I want a normal weight bf so its only fair if I am normal weight myself. Even bought clothes to wear when im thinner, like nice body con dresses and shirts for encouragement. I wonder if anyone has recieved considerable attention from men since losing weight. I have never been hit on before ( I am almost 22 and female) so I am excited to see what kind of life that I will have after I am thin. Hopefully, the pretty young girl life! So did anyone receive more attention and did you like it? I think I would absolutely love it. I'd bask in the attention lol.

I'm going to be a Maid of Honor soon (small rant?)

I've been doing Keto/IF for the past three weeks and I'm loving it so far, but it's taken me a few tries to learn how to stay within and/or reach my macros with the meals I'm making.

I'm at 260 lbs, and 5'1, so I'm verrry far away from my goal weight, and I've accepted that it will take over a year to reach it.

I just found out one of my best friends got engaged, and she's also asked me to be the maid of honor. I couldn't be happier for her nor more excited to be a part of their day.

I'm just having a small anxiety attack because I know I won't be at my goal weight by then, and I don't know how far along I might be by the time they actually have the wedding. I'm hoping to break 200 by September, but I don't know how realistic that is. I've got some serious resolve, and while I've faltered in small ways, I've been doing better on this WOE than any other method I've tried.

I guess I'm just starting to feel like my goals are way too far away, and I'm having anxiety about not being able to get all of this extra weight off of me in time for this wedding. I also hate that I knew she was going to ask and instead of initially being delighted, I was devastated because all I could see was my fat rolls coming out of a dress and feeling disgusted with myself in front of everyone.

I'm really kicking myself for not starting sooner, and I don't know how to talk myself down. I've already decided to start going to the gym sooner than I planned, since I wanted to lose at least 20lbs before incorporating exercise. I want to keep doing this as healthily as I can, but I'm worried I'll start getting obsessed with trying to lose weight faster instead of really adapting to this as a new lifestyle.

I just need help or advice or even just to know how anyone else has dealt with a similar situation during or before their weight loss journey. I'm honestly at a loss and really disappointed in myself.

What is some little-known or underrated advice or tips you have about weight loss?

When it comes to weight loss, most people have done their research and know about calorie counting, macro-nutrients, exercising, etc. especially people who frequent communities like this often. However I'm curious to know what are some tips or underrated advice you have about weight loss that most people might not know about?

It could really be about anything, either during weight loss or even advice for maintaining your lifestyle after reaching your goal. For example are there any particular foods or routines you recommend, perhaps advice in regards to big worries such as loose skin or maybe mental/physical routines you have to stay focused and disciplined?

Fat at Dollar General

I went into Dollar General to get a few cleaning supplies and saw my relative checking out. Went to say hi and she said, "Oh! You scared me! All I saw was a big, fat, fluffy person walking towards me!" Needless to say, everyone in line looked as my confidence sucked into the very core of my being. All I could say was, "Seriously?" I've never wanted to run out of a place so fast! Plus, she brought my mail over a little while later and proceeded with calling me her big fluffy teddy bear. OMG. I just told her it was bull to say that, let alone in a public place to begin with.

I've been working on my weight loss and am down 26 lbs in 3 months. All of my pride just got squashed. Why do people think that being unnecessarily rude is going to be motivation?!

If one more relative tells me I've "lost too much weight", I'm going to lose my shit

I was borderline obese throughout my whole childhood. About two years ago, I got my shit together, and slowly started losing weight. I was about 92KG, and now I'm 71KG. (I'm 183cm, 20 years old). It's been a long road, and I've did everything by myself. Diet, exercise, discipline, no help from anyone.

While I've almost at the finish line of my journey, the comments I get from my family are absurd. They halt my momentum and ruin my motivation.

Without fail, every week my Dad will tell me "You've lost a lot of weight. I think you've lost too much weight. You should stop". According to my (obese) aunt, I'm "anorexic". My (obese) mom agrees with her, and tells me to stop otherwise I'll be "unhealthy". Friends of my parents, (who are usually overweight themselves), will look at me like I shot someone, and then tell me to "gain back the weight" I lost.

I'll also constantly get unwanted advice, which is outright wrong. My mom asked me how many reps I do, and I told her 8 or 12 since I'm trying to build muscle. She scoffed at me, and then told me that isn't enough, "you should at least be doing 20".

I realize there's no point in blaming anyone for things that've happened in the past, but I'd be lying if I said that my childhood obesity wasn't the fault of my parents. It makes me furious, that after overcoming such a setback by myself, my parents still have the wrong mentality on weight loss. Even after the multiple health problems weight has caused them...

If you're not gonna help me, that's fine, but at least don't get in my way.

I won't let these dumb comments affect my progress, but I swear to god I hear more shit like this I'll blow a fuse. How do you guys respond to, or deal with shit like this?

(I realize the anorexic comments might give the wrong impression, but don't worry: (Edit: photo is of course NFSW) https://i.imgur.com/3wMmQzv.jpg)
