    AWFUL PEOPLE!

    Also, very immature. They are just jealous because you have determination and dedication to do something with your life. They don't and probably never will.

    Rise above it and keep on going.

    You know what? Who cares? It's about what YOUR body can do for YOU. Your strong legs carried you for 4 miles today.

    I started the Couch to 5k program when I was about as heavy as you. I didn't have a carload of girls to tell me how fat and awful I looked. I didn't need them. I was doing perfectly fine telling myself that I was an embarrassment.

    A year later and I've lost many pounds. I'm training for a half marathon. I don't look waif-thin, but I've already spent too much time feeling like crap about how I look. I'd rather concentrate on all the awesome things I can do.

    She is stupid and and ugly way down deep.
    A lot of movies and comedians today use snarky, rude humor; never giving a thought to the impact on the recipient of their lame jokes. She was just trying to be funny in front of her friends. Sad.
    You are doing great. and that fat is flying off. Go, go, go!

    Those girls didn't actually say anything about you...but they sure said a lot about themselves. Keep on keepin' on, you'll have the last laugh! :drinker:

    Wait until those girls hit college, and when their metabolism slows down. Revenge of the freshman weight gain.

    That is truly mean - I will never understand the need for some people to put others down in order to make themselves feel better. At least you can lose the weight (and you are trying hard to do so! that's comendable and AWESOME!), they have to deal with their awful personalities for the rest of their lives...that's the sad part.

    I have not read all the comments so I do not know if anyone posted the quote by Eleanor Roosevelt. "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent." It's a hard thing to live by, but it is really true.

    You are doing great things. You made a decision to change bad habits into good ones and that will have an effect on every aspect of your life. Keep going and smile.

    I often yell back at people who make comments like that. I usually say either "Thank You!" or "You have a great day too." I try to counter mean spiritedness with something good.

    Well think of it this way. Soon you will be this wonderfully fit person, athletic, strong, and gorgeous to top it off. you'll have a healthy body and you'll treat it right while those "skinny girls" will slowly lay their bodies to waste. they'll think they're perfect and just let their body become unhealthy!

    Keep up the great work!!

    I keep a note around with this advice given to me by an MFP friend:

    1. Surround yourself with the right people.
    2. Don't be distracted by negativity.
    3. Execute your plan and achieve your desired results.

    Like someone told me once "Hos gotta hate!" ... also skinny privilege is many times a fleeting thing. One of them may very well be the one on the corner "walking it off" one day ... I've got a Facebook page full of high school ex-skinnies to prove it.
