    You should feel bad for that person - how stupid and shallow they are. YOU are looking great and making healthy changes in your life. You can totally see a difference. Next time you're at the gym see that idiot's face in your mind and kick his butt!!!!!

    50 pounds is a great accomplishment! Congrats! Some people are just going to be jerks so you can't let it get to you.

    Always remember. Fat cells come and go and can be let go of with determination and hard work. Ignorance and stupidity is ingrained and a lot harder to lose. You are ahead of the game! Rather, I pity those ignorant people who are going to go through life being unhappy and friendless no matter what they do.

    Could be that the person was jealous of your efforts to make yourself fitter and healthier and slimmer - maybe it stirred something inside him that made him feel bad that he wasn't making the same efforts, and rather than do something about the real issue it is easier to make himself feel good by being mean to you. I applaud not only your efforts and amazing results, but also your attitude. The term 'down but not out' came to my mind. Momentarily it got you down - but you picked yourself up and did something positive. Well done to you! Wishing you every success in the rest of your journey - you will get there !

    You are doing an amazing job! The person shouting out the window at you is a bully, probably insecure in some way, so he/she has to put someone down to feel good about themselves.

    I like your spirit! Instead of letting it get you down, you got right back up and posted some pictures on the internet of all places that takes a lot of courage to post. You are truly and inspiration to any that get discouraged by the jerkiness of others. For each of us, it is our own individual journey. We can't have other people lose the weight/get healthier for us, but having the support we all get from these message boards with others who have experienced the same journey makes it so much easier to keep going. Bravo!

    Sadly those people aren't even worth the time you spent writing about them - sorry you had to have that done to you though. You have an awesome attitude - your confidence IS worth more than anything, and the extra weight is only temporary with your attitude! So keep it up - you've done an amazing job so far :)

    People are idiots. Do not let them discourage you. You have come so far and you are doing a hell of a job. You are doing what's best for you and in no time, that same person hurling insults will be dying to be you or get with you. Stay strong lady, you're doing wonderfully!

    I always think that if they're driving in their car, and you're out improving your fitness, then they really have no business criticising you. Saying that though, I always run at night because of what people shout if you run during the day and aren't stick thin. It's a real knock to your confidence - congrats on just carrying on without letting it get to you!

    You look amazing! Well done! :happy:

    I have lost 46 pounds too. I know I have a lot more to lose, but people are so stupid when they say things like that. I remember I was waiting to cross the street one day and this carload of teen-age boys went around the corner and hollered out the window "You're so ugly!" Then another time I was at a meeting where they had brought in a comedian for the entertainment. It was a lady who came up the aisle and stopped at my seat. They had a spotlight on her and of course me and she said "You are so ugly and fat!" Of course, it was meant to be funny and everybody laughed. I just wanted to get up and leave, but I couldn't. That really helps when a person has low self-esteem anyway.

    ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I am borrowing from your book when you mentioned the jerk went about his day as if nothing happened, you should too. WOW, what an amazing thought process! THANK YOU for that GIFT! because you are 100% RIGHT! Jerk probably doens't even remember doing it!

    SO...I slipped up yesterday, saw this and NOW I'm ON MY WAY to go dance with my kids, run around outside and LOSE some of my own. I look forward to looking as good as YOU!

    Congrats on your weight loss! You're doing great!

    When men make comments to me like: Wide load, fat *kitten*, etc. I usually retort with "Limp D**k!" They shut up quick and move along.....:laugh:

    Wow nearly 50 lbs in 3 1/2 months thats awesome. WTG!

    I agree! That is stunning!
    Your loss has inspired me today. Thank you for sharing your story.
    When you have a sound flashback to being yelled at as "fat lady!" just replace it in your mind with "thát lady!"
    That lady who has lost close on 50 pounds.
    That lady who feels so much better about herself.
    That lady who is healthier, more energetic, more at peace.
    That lady who now loves life in a new way.


    And the person who yelled at you?
    Bet you it was a couch potato, and look at where you were at...on a bike, cycling towards a better and healthier body!
    Way to go, Girl!
