I honestly think that they *were* trying to be awful. For every five nice, supportive people on MFP, there's at least one mean, nasty a*****e.

Really? Just, really? That's your helpful advice? What are you going to offer next, that she must enjoy being hit and called stupid and that's why she's with him? Or that maybe she deserves it? Don't comment if you're going to be mean.

This is fabulous! Thanks for posting this! Love it!

You look AMAZING! CONGRATS! I'm so inspired!

This. Tell your sister that until she can be respectful to you and your efforts, you will no longer speak to her. She is doing her best to sabotage you. She is clearly used to being "the skinny sister" and is feeling extremely threatened. My sister is very supportive of me and I am horrified at the thought of her turning…

Seriously, no one is trying to be rude here. I think you need to relax and go for a run.

First world problem.

That's amazing. I'm so excited for you! Hooray for the jeans!

This. Don't throw it back in her face like some people are suggesting. That's petty and stoops to her level. This isn't about her or anyone else, it's about you. Focus on that and you'll be great! :)

GORGEOUS EYES!

THIS. This is why I run.

I carry a 24 oz. water bottle everywhere with me. I know I need to drink at least 4 full bottles daily so I try to space them throughout the day. I know I'll drink at least one full bottle if I do cardio and then I'll fill it up again before I hit the sauna. My rule is to not leave the sauna without finishing the full…

If it's extremely offensive, then no.

This.

Wow! You look amazing! Way to go!

Oooo! Will make these! :)

This. All of this. I started running 12 weeks ago at 223 and am now 201 and can run 2 miles straight. It doesn't seem like a lot compared to marathon runners but I could barely run 1 minute 12 weeks ago. Just run. Don't wait until you've lost weight because this is how you'll lose the weight! :)

You're gorgeous! What an amazing weight loss! Way to go. :)

It's definitely in your face! Post another photo of you without the wedding dress! Your frame looks much slimmer! Way to go!

Amazing! You look amazing! Way to go!

Wow. Just, wow. You look amazing. Really inspiring!

You look AMAZING! Way to go!

Ooo! Interesting questions! Never thought about it before. Interesting answers, too.

This. Just, all of this. Don't get discouraged. Make small changes and don't try to do too much. I struggled with weight and not having the motivation to do anything about it for years. There just has to be that tipping point that makes you stick with it. You can do this. Don't stop, keep going. It's going to happens…

I weigh myself once, on Sunday mornings, and record it. If I'm having a particularly bad week, I might wait until Monday but I'll still on weigh myself a week.

Bananas, apples, peaches, pineapples, and grapes are all good to eat pre-workout. Bananas especially as they are high in potassium and working out can lower the nutrient.

There is a definite difference! Don't get down on yourself! You're doing great!

Awesome! Thanks!

You are adorable. I would have said yes. ;)

I think you're 100% right. We don't need the riff raff getting in the way of our weight loss! :)
