I, too, didn't look my weight when I was at my heaviest. I was 251.5 at my heaviest, and I'm only about 5'4" so that's a lot of weight to be carrying around...but most people I knew thought I weighed about 180-190(so I'm hoping when I weight 150 that I'll look even less then!) I think the fact I didn't look as heavy as I was is what saved me from having a worse body image.

I agree about the photos. I have taken an "after 30lbs lost" photo and I almost don't want to get it developed. I'm afraid its still going to look 'fat' to me. I will though so I can compare with old pictures.
