congrats on your fantastic loss! that is amazing.

yup, sounds like your friends are a bit jealous of your success. that's too bad. I suspect they will get used to the "new" you and your friendship will continue, but slightly different.

I lost 63 lbs two years ago and divorced at the same time and my pool of friends shifted, but in the end, my dearest friends stayed close and were able to handle the new version of me. But it is hard for my oldest friend in particular to see me, so much thinner, while she is still overweight, and see me dating and happy and wearing cute clothes. There is jealousy, but our friendship has been able to handle it. And now she's finally found a low-calorie diet and exercise plan that works for her so she's finding success, too.

Congrats, again, on your awesome loss!!!
