I dropped 50 lbs 2014-2015. It's worked wonders for my confidence. I didn't really need the boost for dating since I'm in a long term relationship. It did come at a time when I transitioned to a new role within my company and needed a massive boost of confidence to get over imposter syndrome and pioneer my own destiny.

I've fluctuated in the range of about 30 or 40 pounds in terms of my weight. It is much harder to motivate once you are in a relationship (that's just the way it goes). But it will go a long way towards making you feel better in other ways, both physically and mentally. And of course, it will help keep you alive. :)

Been there. Cheers.
