6feet 170lbs I get the same comments from people who I associated with when I was 200lbs (and sat on my ass a lot). They still do and compared to what has happened to them (weight wise) we are no longer the same size. My Dr. says that I am healthy at this weight and not to worry about 10 lbs either way.

I think that as we get older we have less tolerence for others who are not willing to accept our commitment to a healthy life style..

By the way congratulations! I remember the fight to get where I am.
