    Different Scenereo: I'm a fat *kitten* too, but I don't run, yet. I have enough trouble with my knees and ankles. I do walk though. I live in the country which makes my block 5 miles all the way around. I walk down to the corner and back which is 2 miles. I was out walking the other day and I had two of my neighbors stop and ask me if I needed help or a right somewhere! :happy:

    Nice neighbors, nice living in a small community. :smile: I guess they just don't know what excercise is though.. :laugh:

    You are awesome in my book! !!!! Keep up the good work. With that attitude you will succeed & be happy in all that you do. As for the moron in the car. Karma is a b**ch.

    Hell yes! I hate a-holes that yell at me when I'm running. I may be fat, I may be slow. But lets go do a 20 mile run and see who finishes first. It will be me. When you finally crawl across the finish line because you may be skinny but are not in shape, I will be there to kick you in the nuts. ..... wow.. maybe I have a little repressed anger over this topic.

    I don't get it, because like what some people previously said, whenever I see someone working out I respect them and encourage them at least mentally. You have the balls to be out there. That's ridiculous. Keep going dude.

    Wow....that's horrible that someone did that and good for you for being able to make light of if and confident enough to not let it bug you too much.

    There have been times where I've seen rather heavy people jogging and I want to tell them "way to go....keep it up" I don't yell anything out the window but to myself, in the car I get really excited for them haha

    I have had experiences with overweight, well actually an obese family member of mine making rude comments in the car about someone who is heavy out jogging. "Yea, better get to running there chubby" I just looked at her like she had two heads!! She's obese and makes no effort to lose weight, yet will insult people who are overweight. It's mindblowing. I did make a snide comment along the lines of, "well, at least that woman is doing something about it....good for her"

    Great job with how far you've come and best of luck with the rest of your weight loss and maintenance!!!

    A lot of thoughts running through my head right now...in no particular order:

    People have no respect for anyone or anything these days. (as for why that is, it's a whole other thread worthy discussion)
    Anger that people actually can live with themselves after saying this kind of *kitten*.
    Regardless of size, seeing ANYONE out there running motivates me to do the same.
    We all started somewhere, (overweight or whatever). I didn't wake up one morning and say "Holy *kitten*, I lost 40lbs over night, time to go for a run.
    Glad you DID NOT give him the satisfaction of letting it bother you or slow you down.
    Glad you are on my FL

    (side note: Also glad you are a Dallas Stars fan and now stuck with Derek Roy :laugh: )

    And sir, running a 5k 3 or 4 times a week is super impressive. I concur with all your points. Carry on, faster and stronger.

    KUDOS to you!!!

    Been there, experienced that!

    Keep on rocking! 5k is soon followed by 10k then things like a Spartan Race or a Tough Mudder.

    If your experiences are anything similar to mine, the more you try and succeed. The more you will want to try and the more you will be astonished by what you can accomplish!

    Lastly, it has also been my experience that for every ignoramus in the world there are a multitude of kind and generous people who will applaud, encourage and congratulate you as you continue your journey.

    All the best on your journey!

    I really enjoyed your post and can relate. I live in a college town so sometimes those kids are not so nice. Good job and keep it up.

    Be proud of who you are and what you are doing for yourself and your family!

    That guy is clearly a sad excuse for a human being! Use that kind of ignorance to motivate you! What a flippin jerk! I am so sorry you had to hear that! Just keep reminding yourself who the real *kitten* was out there!

    Keep going Rockstar!!!!

    I'm sure you were 100% accurate that the person was overweight and out of shape... people that are in shape, or are trying, NEVER make those comments. I get the same crap but the opposite spectrum... i've been given dirty looks when I jog and have had comment from overweight people because of what i look like now... little did they know i was obese 18 months ago! Everyone has to start somewhere and anyone trying is to be respected. That guy probably can't even walk a mile without being winded, cuz if he could then he wouldn't be judging! Keep at it and enjoy every step and know that I've yet to meet a runner that enjoyed their first mile...even if the next 12 are great, that first one always seems the worst :-)
    Good for you!!
