Apparently it's been six months since my last post here.

Hi guys! You may remember from ten months ago, in this picture or this picture. Or, you may remember me from six months ago, in this picture.

Well, in my last thread a few people asked that I give another update in the future. The future is now! As of today I have lost 83lbs from my heaviest weight of 306lbs. Obviously I still have a long way to go, but I continue to lose weight every day.

I gave up my gym membership for the summer because it's nice outside and that shit's hella expensive! I'll be taking it up again once the weather turns, which sadly shouldn't be too far in the future.

Today I decided to play with some heavy makeup and practice my "out on the town in the evening" look. Once I did that, of course, my PJs really didn't look quite right so I threw on a nicer shirt.
Tell me what you think? Warning: webcam pic

Do I look like a doofus? Should I just stick to light makeup all the time, even when I'm going out? Or should I use heavy makeup more often? I think I look worse than in the picture from 6 months ago. I think I look larger now, even though I'm about 40lbs lighter. Uncool, man.

You look great! No, you do not look heavier than from 6 months ago and the make-uo looks good. It doesn't look heavy at all.

Whew, thanks! I guess it looks (and feels!) really heavy to me because I never wear anything darker than brown, and even that I use sparingly. Also a big relief to hear that you don't think I look heavier now. Thanks so much for the compliment!

I agree with grand. You look lighter. You do need to lose more weight, but it is looking more and more like you're going to be very good looking when you hit your goal weight.

Awesome, thank you! Yep, definitely not stopping anytime soon. :)

Wow, that's amazing progress. You certainly do not look larger. As for the makeup, it doesn't even look that heavy, at least to me. Keep up the good work you're looking great.

Whooa-neee-haa-waah-how-navajo 0_0. Thats some transformation you went through in 10 months. Even in your pic from 6 months ago looks great, but this new(and not so crappy webcam/) pic is just, WOW!

Whatever your routine is, you should keep it up. In the last pic, you actually look smaller than in the 3rd pic from 6 months ago.

Thanks so much!

You are definitely looking a lot better.

I don't even notice any makeup so it's certainly not heavy.

Practice smiling, and keep up the good work at losing the weight.

Thanks! Still saving up to get my butt to a dentist, my teeth are pretty yellow. I'm not used to smiling with my mouth closed :)

Wow! I remember seeing your first post and you are really losing weight! Do you feel better, physically, as you've shed the pounds? By the way, your eyes are such a beautiful color and the makeup looks nice, not too heavy. Congratulations :-) hope to see you in another 6 months.

Thanks so much! I have a few other health problems besides my weight that cause me to feel run down at the best of times, and occasionally make me feel even worse. It is much easier to deal with those things as I lose the weight, though, and it makes the medical professionals I deal with on a regular basis treat me better. I've noticed a marked difference in the tone of voice and quality of care I experience since I've lost a significant amount of the weight.

The makeup looks great! Definitely accentuating your best facial feature.

dreenOP•

Awesome, thank you! I get nervous whenever I try something new with my makeup, I'm so glad to know it doesn't look terrible. :)

You look fantastic! Your makeup is definitely not too heavy and I think it brings out your eyes. Your hair looks great also. keep up the good work and keep us updated!

dreenOP•

Thanks so much! The hair was a wild fluke today, I really need to get it trimmed/cut/styled/whatever. :)

You look great! Seriously the weight has gone off your face and you look much more defined. The make looks great, not too heavy at all! Keep up doing what ever it is that you're doing, it's working!

Yay, thank you so much!

Thank you, I'm trying! I still have a long ways to go but progress has definitely been made.

I've been following your posts on here since your first post, and I'm so happy to see how far you've come! The reason why the middle picture makes your face look skinnier is simply because of the angle that you took the picture at. You're making great improvement! Keep up the good work!

dreenOP•

Hey, thanks! That does make sense that the angle would be causing it. Good to know!

Heavy makeup? All I see is eyeliner :) Maybe you have a lot on in the picture but you applied it well so the rest of your face looks natural :) I've always tought girls who took the extra time to add a little something in the morning look prettier, not saying plain girls are unnatractive but why blend in? Be glamourous and rock the makeup ;) From F, 22 :)

dreenOP•

Thanks so much! A lot of the time when I leave the house it's for doctor stuff, so I don't wear makeup in case they do something to hurt me and make me cry, haha. I haven't had much practice with it lately! It's so great to hear that you think I did reasonably well applying it. Gives me more confidence to play around with it in the future.

You don't know how many guys dream of girls like you. Girls who become attractive rather than always being that way are diamonds in the rough and almost always have better personalities.

I don't know, everyone here is being so kind and complimentary, the attention might all go to my head :P Something to be careful of, I think. Thanks so much for your comment! :)
