    Good for you!!! I have started running and HATE running down the road because people always have to scream at us, honk the horn or come way too close. What is it that bothers people so much?

    Keep up the good work!! :D

    I never understood why runners would run on the road when there was a sidewalk. Now that I am a novice runner I understand how much easier it is on the joints to run on pavement rather than concrete.

    I never tried to run anyone over or screamed at them...unless they were on the wrong side of the road....that is a pet peeve of mine.:laugh:

    I always wondered as well, though I would never imagine yelling at anyone or trying to run them over! I have had *both* done to me while just walking though... and FACING traffic so I was not at all in the way of the cars (okay, they didn't try to run me down... but they did seem to find it funny to veer over to right beside me, basically driving on the wrong side of the street, and speed past.) What is wrong with some people?

    I haven't yelled out "Way to go!" or anything like that to runners I pass, though I have certainly been tempted to over the past month. Runners on here... how would you receive that? :)

    I was up earlier than usual today and wondering if you had already been out! Can't wait to hear your results... and I think I am both excited AND nervous for you! (biting nails here...)

    I hope it turns out well. I think if/when people honk you should have a hand signal to give back (V for Victory? Rocky fists in the air?)
    ALSO, I was thinking maybe one side/front says your weight, the other side/back says pounds lost to date?

    I checked the Facebook page but I am a Facebook klutz - I can't even keep my own page straight. But I'll bookmark yours and check a gain. Good luck!

    There has to be 9 people thinking 'way to go' for every 1 person too stupid or naive to understand and rude enough to make derogatory gestures and comments, now hopefully that 1 person will now think twice and realise that this person is doing something to make things better. Way to go :)

    So happy you got a good response. Followed the Facebook page but I totally cannot figure out how to post/comment on stuff there -- so just saying keep it up. I bet people are going to start remembering and noticing when the number goes down. Have fun with it.

    Oh Bru, I m so proud to call you my friend! I must say that I would much rather have you be my daughters role model than any model or any movie star at her goal weight! Rock it girl! This is awesome, and you are looking awesome being proud of you! :heart:

    What a great idea. I bet that you find people are inspired as they see you regularly and that number goes down. I'm inspired by the way you took something that started as a negative experience and turned it into a positive one.

    I had a bad day yesterday because I let someone else damage my self-esteem through their disapproval of something I had done. I compare the way I let that beat me to the way that you took control and I'm inspired! I want to find a way to do this and not let other people damage how I feel about me.

    Thank you,

    I can't believe people were staring and laughing at you initially before this.. 222 isn't so out of the norm. I am alot bigger than that and I would be just livid if jerks were staring and laughing because i was walking...it just makes no sense to me at all. People are so cruel

    Great job today and every day! great idea! :smile:

    Girl!! I love your attitude. But 222? That is nothing!! I can't think of why anyone would be looking at you for walking. Honestly. They were prolly checking you out!! I think people's view of us gets distorted in our own head sometimes. But like I said, I love your attitude about it! !
