    Wow, I am appalled! Keep running past them - nothing will bother them more.

    Then see if they want to race. :)

    That is so pathetic. Rudeness has become epidemic. What's really unfortunate is that the parents are encouraging bad behavior in the child - how sad is that. Keep your head high and keep running and may the mother of all geese crap on THEIR heads!

    You know what this just burns me sooooo bad!!! I can't stand it when people are just so mean. We live in a world where lots of people are not be active and you are showing that how amazing you are by running to stay healthy and live longer. I know it's hard, but like you said "If you have NOTHING nice to say DO NOT say ANYTHING" I'm super proud of how you're just letting those people not even effect you. You will live a better healthy life and that's what makes it all worth it! You're amazing and awesome!!

    Good for you standing up to boorish behavior. You have a lot to be proud of in your weight loss and your stamina and endurance. I would love to be able to run for two hours, that is awesome performance.

    I congratulate you on your progress, keep it up! When you reach your final goal, and are the new person you want to be, they will still be the boorish fools that they are today.

    That is why it's legal to carry guns here in the US.

    And KEEP running. I actually got a compliment on my legs today. That is a first!

    So carrying a gun makes it legal to shoot inconsiderate people?

    You really can't fix stupid... or inbred. I'm sorry you have to deal with these mouth breathers :-(

    Once while running an odd looking man who was walking a dog shouted at me "Nice try!, But you are still fat". I didn't retort out loud but in my head I thought to myself "I might be fat buy you are an a**hole". Keep going girl You are doing great!

    What is wrong with people??? Where are these people's parents...? I know the 8yr old's parents are right there, and they're HORRIBLE, but where are THEIR parents? My mom taught me to respect the feelings of others, and that there is no excuse to put other people down. Have people stopped teaching their kids this?
    This is just WAY beyond fcuked. :( I am so sorry this is happening.

    If it were me, I would flip them off before even thinking about it. Maybe give them the full moon on the way by.

    And to all parents out there, please teach your kids that making fun of others is 100% unacceptable, and don't do it yourself. We are all equal, we all deserve respect, words hurt.

    There is NO excuse for this kind of behavior.

    They must be jealous. Ignore the bullies. All the more power to you. That's a great loss.

    You keep running and enjoy yourself. Headphones on. They can't do what you can, I bet! I hope you don't have to look at them all the time, like right outside your windows! Man, people are so rude, I can't get over someone even saying anything like that to another person. Nevermind teaching your child that that's ok. Geez! Your the better person, just remember that. Keep away and ignore them, cuz that little brat's going to grow up and be out there on his own one day. Lousy future in your neighborhood. Change it while you can maybe and bring them a welcome to the neighborhood plate of cookies or baked goods or fruit or something, say something like we started out on the wrong foot or something like that, just so they aren't a"holes for the rest of your living near each other. Butt holes. Good luck!

    *kitten*! Put on your ipod and keep on runnin' ...


    Couldn't have put it better myself - you say you are fat - but soon you will be thin and healthy, if you hold your head high and keep on running. Your neighbours, however, will always be dumb *kitten* - you win!!!!!!

    Remember to rise above it. Let the problem be theirs not yours. And if their house accidently burns down oh well.

    No, you can't shoot inconsiderate people, that's why we have stun guns and tazers too. :laugh:

    Good for u for sticking to it - the same happened to me a couple of years ago and I literally stopped my 16 miles run to call me husband to pick me up. That was the last time I ran in public and I remain paranoid. We just got a treadmill from my brother and I'm hoping to be able to get back to running and lose this weight. Every time I try to run outside, I cut it short because I'm embarrassed. I also only run after dark as a result and that isn't easy to do!

    I know you how you feel - I been trying to run for a while and I do look funny I am the most uncoordinated person ever! - someone took a video of me in the City2Surf - awful but at least you are doing it and setting a good example to folks around you - inspirational unlike the example those parents are setting for their child - Like everyone else says put those headphones end - hold your head up and go for it - I wish I could run for 2 hours - I struggle with 5 minutes at a time - **** them all! You keep on goig girl! You rock! They are small minded and not worth your energy.

    I agree with keeping your music turned up and keep going. Don't let them get to you. Sad thing is, they prolly couldn't run 8+ miles even if they were being chased, thin or not. They suck. People are so horrible to each other. I hope those mean people are proud of themselves.

    Those people are just plain ignorant.

    Keep on running! Good for you - 8.5 mi? Jeez you will be a stick in no time. Keep it up!

    Mean people are not worth one second of your thoughts. You may need to lose weight - you'll reach your goal, but they'll always be butt heads.

    No, it doesn't, but I can feel superior in showing restraint by not doing so :happy:
    That said, I cannot imagine the depths of inadequacy one must feel to want to hurl insults at a total stranger for no reason whatsoever. Your neighbors are complete boors and I do pity the son for the rude awakening he will surely get someday at the hands of someone bigger and badder than he.

    I know from experience how much these little things hurt inside. I don't understand why people make fun of people who are trying to do something positive about their health. I'm so proud of you! You keep running. Don't let their ignorance deter you from your goals

    I'm so glad I get all my exercise at the YMCA where everyone is so encouraging and uplifting. I took a really hard class today with lots of running and circuit training. Everyone in the class was fit except me. I'm 285 lbs. They just encouraged me the whole way and they literally cheered when I finally finished several minutes behind everyone else. One super-fit guy joined me for my last circuit. People don't have to be jerks.
