Chances are good that you will have more of a problem with your weight than anyone you meet. So the solution is going to have nothing to do with other people. Yes you will encounter people for whom your weight is a problem - but if it wasn't weight then it would be something else.

Your goal is going to have to be accepting yourself and loving what you've got. Focus on the things you've really got going for you and be proud of the entire package that is you. Definitely keep up with your weight loss goals but don't let weight overtake your life and your thoughts and your actions. It's only one small part of you - you're much more than your number on the scale. Yes it's important to keep yourself clean and tidy (but that advise goes to everyone - big and little). Mostly, keep your focus on your assets. Guaranteed there are tons of people out there who are looking for what you've got.

Good luck and have fun.
