Who's this Fitness_Chick

I imagine that has a few people's attention!!! :laugh:

FC I have enjoyed your support of others, your thoughtfull subjects and responses and most importantly the motivation that you have given me through my knowlege of your successes. That knowlege will be with me because I have been here for a while.

I noticed that you have changed your ticker to just 75lbs to loose. For those of us who have followed your success I think it is awesome that you have made that change. For the Newbies who join when they see that ticker they may not give you the respect or your responses the respect that they deserve because they will not realize how much you have lost in total. Perhaps you could add a second ticker showing your total weight loss from the beginning?

Once again thank-you. :flowerforyou:

    Ah what nice things you've said Ce-fit... I changed it for a couple reasons...one of the main ones is I was receivnig some very negative, very unkind :cry: remarks on having weighed so much in the first place, then some ppl were asking if I was bogus and only came on this site to show off my weightloss and if I had made it up:noway: , ah why would anyone join a fitness site if they weren't serious about it? Those comments had me bewildered big time....:frown: .

    I could never see myself saying such cruel things to folks that are on a sight like this, we all work so hard whether we have 9 lbs. to lose or 300lbs...there's simply no place for cruelty here on MFP, I don't think anyone of us deserves that... I cheer folks on because I'm proud of them for working hard toward their goals.:drinker: :bigsmile:

    So I changed it:blushing: ...and backed off the boards a bit hoping maybe that would save me the some of the negative attention... :ohwell:

    I didn't really do it for ME though:ohwell: , I began to think about it and realized I had done it for the thoughtless, which was not the right reason at all:blushing: ..so after reading all of your kind remarks...all of you that posted I might just change it back:wink::laugh: .Or add another one like you suggested. :wink:

    I am PROUD of all my hard work (and that was something I was always able to say) and was so hurt by all the remarks lately still has me a bit sad & perplexed that it would occur on a fitness site of all places.:ohwell:

    Oh well:bigsmile: it's in the past now in my mind after reading you guys' posts here, so time to move on from here you all sure helped me with that!!!.
    :drinker: :tongue:

    We're all on a tough journey and some days we might just not be thinking before we speak it can happen to all of us, guess as always we should give others the benefit of the doubt!:flowerforyou:

    You all simply made me night!:cry::flowerforyou: :heart:
    :heart: Thank YOU:heart:

    Are you serious? People were saying WHAT??!!@$^%(# :explode:

    I am sooooooo sorry. I hope someone reported those posts. Seriously, there is no place here for that kind of stuff. As I have said many times before, you are my hero. I came to this site needing to lose 266 lbs. I have been just sick at the thought of embarking on that kind of a journey. I KNOW it will take a long time and a lot of work. Then, I came to this site and one of the first things I saw was your comments in so many places - thoughtful, wise, supportive and wonderful. THEN, I noticed the ticker with 233 lbs lost. WOW. I was and am so encouraged by that. As I have said before, you are my hero! :flowerforyou:

    Yup tis true...I reported but no response:cry: Mike must be terribly busy with the new server issues perhaps.. but the damage had already been done, it hurt me to the core! Like I said I couldn't imagine anyone saying that to ANYONE here... in the world off of this board, well we know folks say all sorts of thoughtless things that's why we should feel so safe coming here to discuss fitness issues, least I was feeling safe..:blushing: :cry: :brokenheart: :flowerforyou:

    I'm trying really hard to let it go but something take a bit of time ya know? I need to consider the sources and leave it be.

    Thank you SO MUCH Kristi...I feel like you gave me the biggest warmest long hug with your words!!!:blushing: :cry: :flowerforyou: :happy:

    And I mean every word of them. I am so sorry to hear that people have been, can I say, not so nice to you. You do NOT deserve that. I would personally like to apologize for them. All I can imagine is that they are jealous of your success or just plain mean. Whatever the case may be I know you are the bigger (or should I say smaller, LOL) person and you will not let those mean spirited people get the best of you. You have come too far and done so much for so many that thier immature words are just that WORDS so don't let them get you down because as you can see WE all LOVE you and are so proud of you! Keep on doing what you do!!!!

    You are so welcome my friend. Do consider the source. Or better, let US consider the source.:devil: No, wait, that isn't very professional. Or christian. Or civilized. Or legal :happy:

    Anyway, ANYTIME you need a hug, I am here.:flowerforyou:

    looking forward to getting a tat...love the swirl design...very pretty where do you have that at? I couldn't quite tell in the photo..:laugh: :blushing:
    It is on the back of my neck, it's about 5 inches long. It starts right at the place where the neck bends and goes down to almost my bra line. When I have a t-shirt on, it just peeks out above the collar! The next one I get will be around my ankle under another tat that I have. I want a vine with some little flowers or ladybugs on it.
    What are you gonna get and where are you gonna put it?

    Ya know what...I'm not even sure yet...but I do love the vine look! I've never rewarded myself with lbs. lost, I hear so many that do...might be something very good for me start doing for myself! Might have to toss the tat idea in their!:bigsmile:

    The nerve of some people!!! It makes me soooo MAD :explode: :explode: :explode: to know that someone could be so inconsiderate of another person's feelings. Please don't let someone as intellectually challenged as that make you feel like you have to change ANYTHING about yourself, not even your ticker!!! You have always tried to be uplifting and supportive of people, and I can't remember one time you have ever been negative towards anyone!!! Please know how much we treasure you on this site, and don't let anybody tell you any different...:drinker: :drinker: :drinker:
