    I love the quote : I use NEGATIVITY as my FUEL for MOTIVATION!

    I keep all of my workout related stuff to MFP...my step mom told me I should be spending my money on better things than the gym? Uh really, cause I'm pretty sure working out is good for you! XD Haters will hate. People think if you aren't overweight that you aren't eating, because that's how they are. We're all eating healthy and taking care of our bodies here on MFP (or at least trying)..that doesn't make someone anorexic. Eff em, they're douches. I'd hit the unfriend button. :)

    You look awesome - go you!!!

    People are showing you a reflection of what they feel inside about themselves. You don't need their negative energy.

    Banish them from your facebook page ;)

    These types of things is the reason I am deleting my facebook page as of today. People are so catty and negative. I've never seen so many people in my life who just are not happy, and want to bring everyone else down.

    You look fabulous. Don't let anyone make you feel otherwise. :)

    Sometimes I look at my own profile picture on here and think that people who know me in real life and haven't seen me for a long time would have to think it was photoshopped. It is so incredible that I have gotten to this point and I am so proud. No comment, no jealousy, no miscommunication can take my work effort and continued success from me.

    OP, I don't know where you started in weightloss, but your picture reflects an attractive woman in fantastic shape. I hope remain strong and proud of your success. Don't let passing comments on Facebook, here or anywhere deplete your positive energy.

    On another note, I do know a person who only uses photoshopped pictures or pictures from her youth as profile pictures for a physical portrayal to her hundreds of virtual friends. I love her dearly, flaws, insecurities and all. I would never defriend her virtually or in person.

    While I agree that the status update is iffy, it's not anorexic. people should know you better. also, people who say that you'Re photoshopped need to be chopped from you friend list. you're hot. (exceot for the duck face, but nobody can pull that off and look cute at the same time :)

    I was just going to say what I think a few others have said....

    Someone needs to go through their 'FRIENDS' list and do some deleting.... sheesh !

    When I post anything on Facebook about my weight loss journey, weight lost, or working out etc, I get nothing but love and support from my family and friends.

    Below is my progress from July 2011, Nov 2011 and Feb 2012. Ive lost nearly 2 stone (as my ticker shows) Im not just thin now...Im stronger. Ive lost weight in such a different way this time and I am very proud!

    I have seen a lot of photoshopped images, and I hate how people portray themselves as a 'fake' straight from the off. I never edit any of my photos!!

    I was slightly on the overly-tipsy side. Cannot be helped. lol!

    You have now become someone to envy, a threat. They are jealous!
    Delete them.
    You deserve to be proud!

    There will always be those who want to keep you from your success because misery loves company! You have worked hard at ACCOMPLISHING your goal. Be proud and leave those miserable people to their own suffering. I deleted FB and my daughter did too. I've not seen anything on there that makes me want to engage in such a 'busy body' group! Keep up the good work and take note of who your REAL friends are then treasure them!

    Try not to let them bother you too much.

    I had something similar happen to me on here when I was just trying to give a friend on here suggestions on how to get more protein. It was 5am when I posted my response and I used to term Green Smoothie instead of fruit smootie and another "friend' of hers had to jump on and attack me saying I was running my mouth off without having the facts, etc. It got to the point where I had to block the person.

    Some people think they can say whatever they want because they are hiding behind a computer screen. Ugh. Sorry you had to deal with drama on here from hateful people.

    Also, the originator of that statement was Kate Moss.

    Not quite. I can remember being younger and my mom going to Weight Watchers meetings and coming home and saying that and that was way before Kate Moss!

    OP you look fantastic! Ignore the jealous and keep on!

    you look great and need to get rid of those face book friends, but that slogan did come from someone who the media thought was advocating anorexia so it has a negative stigma associated with it, I for one don't like that saying at all, but you look great and hard work shows.

    Whoops silly me! I am not surprised, and probably shouldn't go around repeating anything off tumblr!

    Jealousy is a m'fer.


    ETA: it's the classic 'tear you down to make themselves feel better' thing.

    I don't deny myself anything! If I wanna eat it, Im gonna eat it (as long as I stay in my calories) People have told me that I am obsessive about it, but to be completely honest - If I didnt obsess about it - then how am I supposed to keep on track. If I did all of this half-hearted - I wouldn't have lost nearly 2 stone!

    That saying tells me that if I am going to eat a big chocolate cake and keep eating it then I am not going to be thin. Which is bloody true! And I wont feel good. I feel better eating some stuff that isnt so 'satisfying' and looking the way I do!!

    :-) x

    I do know what you mean about people calling you obsessive. I get the same thing. :( I mentioned something about how I had to go to the gym 5 times a week and my friend was like, "Well you don't have to." Excuse me! I have to. If you're a regular person then no, but if you have a lot of weight to lose you have to be really strict about alcohol and exercise and sugar. Anyway, haters gon' hate I guess.

    Um, ya, they are jealous, you look great!!

    If they were your facebook friends, then my next step would be to unfriend them.

    You don't need the saboteurs and the negative naysayers.

    Keep your chin up - you are beautiful!!

    You look FANTASTIC!!! All of those people are JEALOUS!

    Stick to MFP rather than Facebook, we all know what it's like and we're here to support! Great job and feel free to show off...you deserve it! Rock that dress!!!

    agreed!
    You look great. Haters gonna hate!!!!!!
