250-300lbs
I'm about 270 now, and in my experience, 250 was a point when things started to change significantly for me, both in terms of how I looked and felt. Like, I started to go from being "fat" to being "a fat guy", if that makes sense.
Between 200 and 250 things were relatively stable: I had gone from "getting fat" to just "fat". While 30 pounds is a lot of weight for anyone, going from 200 to 230 didn't have a significant impact on my daily life or the body type I resembled in the way that going from 170 to 200 did. I was "fat" but not "very fat".
Once I hit 250, though, I started to go from "fat" to "very fat". While I had always been big, this was the first time I really started to notice my body getting in the way of itself. Bending over to tie my shoes suddenly became a small struggle against my belly, moobs, and double chin compressing against each other. My body finally becoming thicker than it was wide drastically changed the way I looked, and adding a second X to my clothing size shrunk my options in a way I hadn't experienced since I first started gaining. While I had long since learned to be wary of strenuous activities, I suddenly found that even walking more than a block or so required a cool-off period, and standing for more than 30 minutes or so became a chore. And while I'm not yet fat enough to actually be a spectacle to strangers, I definitely feel the "fatonymity" I enjoyed from around 200-250 is starting to wear off, and my family is starting to pick up again on the not-so-subtle jabs they had given up on 70 pounds ago.
Most of these things would sound like serious negatives to an outside observer, but of course to us they're a significant part of the whole point.

well Im 5'5 and 260 pounds and I love being this weight, but id love to be bigger. I have a fat fetish though so unless you do aswell you might not be as happy at this size as I am, for me the negative parts of being this weight, like difficulty in buying clothes and things are outweighed by how much it turns me on
