    All I can say hun is you can lose the weight, but they can never gain a decent personality. This is one of the reasons I work out at home. You are on YOUR journey, they will always find something to talk about, it just goes to show how pathetic their lives must be and how insecure they are emotionally if that is the only way they can feel better about themselves.

    When I first started going to the gym I was 201 lbs. I decided I was going to take the belly dancing class. While I was there, there were two women (probably not much younger than me), just having a good old time laughing at me. I can tell you that they hardly made it through the class and I never saw them at the gym again.

    Here I am, still going, three years later. I've lost 38 lbs. I've gain a ton of strength. I look and feel better than I did 10 years ago before I had my babies. I wonder where they are now.

    Basically, what I'm saying is "F them and feed them beans". If you keep it up, you'll be able to do more than they have ever dreamed. It just takes time and consistency.

    Well.... not while I'm exercising in any more.... but I did have a friend of a friend say some crude comments.... I just used it as fuel to motivate me and have since lost 20 lbs.

    First read this... http://flintland.blogspot.com/2012/05/hey-fat-girl.html

    This was the first thing I thought of when reading this post. This blog post says it all. For every idiot that tries to tear you down in order to make themselves feel better, there are people like this guy that know your struggle and respect you. Keep on going!!

    You can change your body, change your health, and change your direction in life, but short of a 2 by 4, you cant change when an *kitten* will open his mouth and you certainly cannot fix stupid.

    "OH MY GOD! Would you look at that fat girl trying to run?!?!? HAHAHAHAHAHA".

    Yeh! YOU were running!
    Amazing! you did it and just keep doing it!!! Well done!

    I'm still not over that hurdle of having the confidence to do it!

    once a jerk, always a jerk, once a fat girl... but now... sexy mama coming through!

    stand up and take that bow!:flowerforyou:

    , "OH MY GOD! Would you look at that girl running!!"

    There, I fixed that for you. I know it sucks, but forget about them. Anyone who gets their kicks off of something like that is extremely immature. When life catches up to them and suddenly they are the fat ones huffing up the stairs and you are smoking hot, justice will be served. Karma is a bi***.

    Happy friday to you too!

    THIS! what exactly where THEY DOING????? sitting on their *sses watching you work yours off! at the end of the day those individuals do not matter. it's the people who know you, love you, encourage you and treat you with the respect you deserve as a person these are the people you need to listen to. i spent my teenage years being called fat and those very same people now struggle with their weight. Karma is a B**CH! I like Karma! :) Happy Friday and GO BACK to that park and show those individuals YUP THIS CHICK RUNS!

    could not have said it better myself. i have friends who will pull me up and tell me what i NEED to hear, but only because they care. if you have nothing constructive/nice/beneficial to say, keep your nastiness to yourself :)

    I know exactly how you feel because it happened to me when I used to ride my bike in my old home town (now live in a town where people actually stop to tell me I'm "a very pretty young lady" lol so that's a confidence boost, but not telling you to move towns... you just have to say to yourself "Hey, at least I'm doing something" how many of these people who yell out are sitting on their arses being lazy? You're jogging and they're walking? Just because people are thinner than you DOES NOT make then fitter or healthier. You can be a FIT overweight person and you can be an UNFIT skinny person. Use their attempts to demotivate you as motivation to prove them wrong, keep going xx

    As a lot of people have said, prove them wrong. Sometimes it can be the biggest thing spurring you on. I know sometimes I probably mutter to myself in the gym a bit - but I just work out all the stress and all the things that have got to me, particularly comments about my weight. So now I look a bit mental as well, but it keeps me going :P Keep running, and best of luck xx

    That jerks are everywhere. This is a challenge!

    A week ago I was at the post office, trying to send my mail out. One old man stood still next to me and said loud 'A Cow'. He was looking at me like he scorned me! But I don't ask myself 'Why?' any longer. I know people like this are poor stupid human beings, which are incapable to understand simple human things. They are to teach us, to make us stronger.


    In addition to above, I should tell that I had been losing weight the last 1.5 years, until I hit the plateau. The plateau lasted for 4 months! I felt like it was the end of the world. And then my weight started desperately increasing. And now, after all, I am meeting that jerk. How about that? This is life. Life, full of challenges...

    No matter what, stay strong.

    *And I apologize for my bad English.
