I'd use it as motivation. Every time you're on the stepper remember what she said and step it up a notch. She was WAY out of line and I'd want to kill her but if you use her negativity to better yourself it works out in your favor!

If I can do it ANYONE can! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Thank you all so much! It's the encouragment from the boards which really helps me! :flowerforyou:

:laugh: I've never heard it put like that- but that's exactly the motivation it takes! The jalous kind! :laugh: Perfect wording! Thanks all!!!

Thank you Kath- Great job on the 15 lb loss!!!

Thank you all!!! :smooched: You're all really helping me with my next goal which is to FEEL how I look! :bigsmile:

Thank you so much!!! :flowerforyou:

Thanks!!!!!! :smooched: :smooched: I could not have done it without MFP!

Thank you! :blushing: :blushing: :blushing: :blushing:

Thanks! Right now the braces are just on the bottom but this weekend I get the top ones on! I'm excited but nervous. Hey they prevent me from eating too much bad food. :laugh:

Thank you all so much for the encouraging words! There are times even now when I don't feel like I look good. I need to work on my mental diet now because mentally I still feel big. :laugh: When I look in the mirror and pictures I see how far I've come though so that's a step in the right direction! :laugh:

Thanks so much! I did the same thing! My goal was 150 and I didn't even think I'd get there! So when I did- I lowered it to 130 and made it! You can too!!

They are! As long as you stick with it and beleive you can! :flowerforyou:

: Aw Thanks!!! :bigsmile:

Keep going. lol No but seriously- change up your routine, do a different workout if your working out, or up your calories a little. By the pictures I can tell you IT WORKS. No matter what don't give up!

When I get a chance I'll respond better I promise!

Thanks a bunch all! It means so much to me!

First of all- I need to remind you all that it's not about how long it takes- it's about how long it LASTS. I started losing weight in May of 2009. I never gave up. Through the holidays I would change my calories to maintain so that I could still enjoy foods but not gain. Thanks again everyone!!

Thank you!!! :blushing:

Thanks all!!!

:laugh: Yes they are! I do love my red hair!!! :laugh: I've acutally had people ask how 2 red heads can make a blonde baby. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Thanks!!! lol She thought it was funny that mommy had to stand on a stool to get those pics. :laugh: Aw! Here I thought this red hair made me look super hot! :huh: :laugh:

Thank you! I am proud but not everyday- does that make sense? Like I don't feel any different. I have to remind myself of my accomplishment. :laugh:

Younger in my before or after? lol I have dark hair in my before so I'm confused. lol

You CAN do it!! I'm a WUSS and have never stuck to anything in my life- If I can do this YOU can do it too!!! I KNOW you can!!!!!

Aw! Thanks so much!! :bigsmile:

Thank you! :bigsmile: Ummmm, I just realised I need to officially start maintaining. :noway: :noway: :noway: I hear thats even harder than losing. :noway: :laugh:

Thank you so much!! :smooched:

Thank you so much!! :bigsmile: I have a love/ hate relationship with my braces. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I'm getting the top ones on this weekend so that should be interesting. :laugh: Awesome that your dr uses this!!! That's definintly motivational! I just KNOW you can and will do this! I look forward to posting congrats…

Thanks Chrissy!!!!! :smooched:
