I think people who says such things are
a) parent-type. They care and they are afraid that you will get too obsessed and sick and that it will change you as a person and that you wont be healthy and ready for any horrible sickness that might come your way
b) jealous-type. Cant stand the tought that someone is doing actually something right for their body.
Its hard to know which is which, but usually our instincts tell us. If the doctor, THE DOCTOR told you youre doing it the healthy way, then go for it!
PS: you look awesome!0 -
You look amazing, great job!0

You look great!!!
LOL about the before pic as motivation! That is why I chose a beach pic on here. BLECH! I love reading/seeing all these before and afters!! Inspiration and motivation! :O)0 -
Thanks! I got serious about it back at the beginning of August 2010.Way to go! You look awesome. How long have you been at this?0 -
Thanks! My doctor's "approval" did wonders to boost my confidence too!I've noticed one or two friends telling me the same. I think there's two things at play: society has a distorted view on normal, which I believe is tending to be slightly to a lot overweight. I also think friends can get jealous. Seeing you slim makes them feel inadequate, lazy and gluttonous. Do what makes you happy, eat healthy, excercise, take pride in your appearance. Don't worry, be happy!0 -
Absolutely! :happy:You're a huge inspiration to me...we're the same height, same age, and same starting weight. If you can do it, so can I!
Thank you for posting the pictures. I need to take some of my own.0 -
Thank you! I've heard that the better shape you're in then the better the labor & delivery! I hope it holds true! We'll see!Gina, you look amazing!!! Awesome job! You mentioned starting a family as a healthy mom-to-be, (one of my goals too!) and as a labor & delivery nurse, I must say that women who are in shape, have the best labors and best deliveries!
Fantastic work! SO inspiring!0 -
Thanks! I'm glad you friended me! :happy:You look fantastic, wtg! We have similar goal weights so I hope you don't mind but I am going to send you a friend request.
Congrats on the 31 pounds lost!0 -
Thanks! You can tell I was REALLY thrilled to be taking those before pictures, huh? LOLWow! You should feel very proud of yourself. Your face even looks happier! You did good, girl! :smokin:0 -
Thanks! Way to go on your 40 lbs you've lost!wow, great job, you look fantastic!0 -
Thanks! I've had it for a while. It was tucked away in the back of my closet with the smaller clothes. I've had it awhile. Macy's...maybe?You look fantastic!!! And I love the pink top (where did you get it??)0 -
YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!!!!!!0

Great achievement...you can rightly be proud of yourself 0 -
Thanks, you're sweet! I just sent you a friend request! Good job so far! You can do it!Oh my gosh! You are my height and starting weight! My goal is to reach 140-135ish. I'm at 158 right now. I started the couch to 5k and I'm in week 2. You are such an inspiration for me!!! Congrats and thanks for the inspiration!0 -
Glad to know that I'm not the only one getting negativity from those around me! Way to go on being healthy! You're so close to where I want to be BMI-wise! Don't listen to those people! You look great!you really look fantastic! definitely don't listen to the jealous people, do what's right for you as long as it's within the healthy BMI range (and clearly your goal is, as your doctor okayed it). i'm wanting to lose another few pounds and people are calling me mean skinny names (bones, telling me i look like death and telling me i need to eat, etc) but my bmi is 19.9! when i get to my goal i'll still be within healthy BMI. jealousy is a *****...0 -
Girl you did your thang!!! CONGRATS!!!:happy:0

Thanks! I'm not nearly as toned as I want to be, but I'm getting there! I love the fact that my old "skinny pants" are starting to fall off of me! I can't believe it! I know that I'm still dropping inches...even if the scale isn't showing it. Clothes can be such a truth-teller...especially when I dry them ALL THE WAY in the dryer instead of hanging them out like I use to! I WANT them to shrink now...so I can wear them longer! HAHA!Wow you look great! You are very fit and toned looking now. I wouldn't get too hung up with the scale number as long as you are in a healthy weight, keep eating right and working out and you will drop more pounds. But in the meantime enjoy knowing you are healthy as well as beautiful!0 -
I hope you don't mind, but I just sent you a friend request! Congratulations to you! You look AMAZING!OMG YOU ARE ME!!!!!!I have to run to the gym and will write more later...just didn't want to forget!

Thanks for the compliment & the boost of confidence! You are SO right!I think people who says such things are
a) parent-type. They care and they are afraid that you will get too obsessed and sick and that it will change you as a person and that you wont be healthy and ready for any horrible sickness that might come your way
