    I can see that you already have some great advice from others on MFP. I will add my 2 cents for what it is worth. I don’t put my weight loss status on my FB page. I save all my exercise, food comments and motivational quotes for MFP. People within this community understand what you are going through so use this for your support and motivation. Also, do not look to others for all of your motivation and support because you will not always get it from them. If you do, that is a bonus and a blessing. Remind yourself that you are doing this for YOU because you are WORTH IT! your health is worth it! Sometimes it is hard to shrug off the comments, but it is something you are going to have to do for yourself. Use this community to your advantage. You are welcome to add me as a friend.

    I keep it to myself. When people finally fell comfortable asking ....hey have you lost some weight? I say yes, I've lost almost 30 pounds. They ask how...I say move more eat less. If they still ask questions I will go into more specifics but most people smile and say good for you. I'm not at the point where anyone would say- you don't need to lose. Except for an ex that has a thing for big girls.
