I used to be pretty heavy. morbidly obese much like you.
I started losing weight when I was 19, it was a challenging process every step of the way. Few people comprehend this. It took a few years for me to lean out to 180.
Currently, my weight tends to 'yo yo' luckily only 10-30lbs at a time. Mostly because I still have my demons that caused me to gain weight in the first place. I was more sedentary as a kid, and much more emotional. Eating was my coping mechanism.
My observation since losing weight. yes, you turn a lot more heads but few people would actually date you. That's for a variety of other reasons. I still have my hang-ups and insecurity's and it rear's its ugly head in social situations. Also, I'm male It's a unwritten rule that I need to be the pursuer. I have an aversion to that. Losing weight is a lot easier than getting a personality transplant and self confidence. Just my opinion.
You definitely don't have a ugly face. high cheek-bones are enamoring to me.
EDIT: fitness is a lifetime commitment as you may or may not know.
this website is a pretty good resource. If I had this at my disposal at the time, I would have made better progress sooner. http://scoobysworkshop.com/
