Hello lisschelsea, At the moment my math places your weight at 300, but you know what to do and how to do it to lose weight until you get to 265. Don't treat that as an accomplishment this time. It's just a number, and as far as your health is concerned it's too big of a number. I get promotional email from the Washington Post inviting me to read some of their journalism as a free peek. Today's 2 articles were about the rising death rate of white women in their 30's, 40's, and 50's. If you don't want to become that statistic, get your weight down with us and keep it down by staying with us. And, please, hold me to that same standard.

Wow. Just, wow. How very rude you are. "Don't treat that as an accomplishment"? Any weight loss is an accomplishment! The decision to change your life to better yourself is an accomplishment! How dare you come on here and tout your 'holier than thou' BS. Instead of raising her up and encouraging her to continue down her path of health, you want to come here, put down her accomplishment, and wave a mortality rate comment around as if to use it as some kind of highly inappropriate scare tactic. I can only hope that one day someone treats your accomplishments with the same amount of cold indifference and callous disregard that you have shown the original poster.

You're doing an amazing job! Keep doing what you're doing! This is a huge accomplishment and a great inspiration for others like myself who've started with having a lot to lose. Don't let anyone bring your worth down.

75 pounds loss is awesome - you are an inspiration

Congratulations on your hard work!

And, that Washington Post Article? Had nothing to do with obesity. It's an engrossing article, but not relevant to your success.

Wow. I can't believe someone would give such a rude comment. I wish I could have seen the OPs original post but it's not showing anymore. This is suppose to be a site of encouragement! Most people on this site have low self esteem and self confidence, and rude comments are not welcomed. I've been on this site for a while and have never seen something like this happen. I'm just very disappointed. OP, 75 pounds is amazing. You are amazing. Please don't give up and leave this behind.
