People say dumb stuff in an effort to be consoling. Ignore. You could always whip around and say to the offender, "Pretty is only skin deep, but stupid and mean go to the bone."

You mean you don't look like a Shar Pei puppy?:laugh:

It doesn't bother me, but if it does bother you, you could smile and say something to the effect of "Thanks for noticing" and just not answer.

Shake it off; move on. Food and food choices are not moral issues. Resolve to do better and then do it. There are foods I do not keep in my house because I would eat way too much of them. Avoidance is a strategy that works for me.

I thought of another one: Everybody Hurts by REM. Cannot stand that whiney, mopey BS. And they used to play it every hour on the hour. AACK!

I love you always forever by Donna Lewis, I think. GAG

I thought I was the only one who cannot stand Rhianna. Nice to know I am not the lone voice in the wilderness.

Mostly anything Top 40 or just plain overplayed. That idiot 500 miles song is pretty grating.

You've come to the right place. We are all here to get healthy. Find a sensible and sustainable plan. Move more. It is a lifestyle change, not a quick fix. You can do it. I went from 314 to 183, and I am still chugging along. If I did it, you can do it too. Welcome!

Add me. We're all in this together.

catch phrase

Move. Out. ASAP. It sounds as if you have become a household drudge for all the people in your life. Your mom has the temper of a hungry rabid badger, your fiance copes by spending money you could use to escape, and your dad thinks all of your animals are the cause of every misery under the sun. This is a toxic situation.…

You've already lapped everyone still sitting on the couch. My starting BMI was 54. Now it's 31. I am still chugging along. It doesn't matter where we start--It only matters that we keep going.

Jeez, with friends like that who needs enemies?! Hope you told him or her that if he or she was going to act like a turd to go sit in the yard.

I like Domino but also Wellington or Winston.

I'm pretty close.

Stay off the scale for awhile, take your measurements, and eat more whole food. If you are burning as much as you say you are, you are not eating enough.

We're all still establishing our average cred.

Beuler? Beuler? I'm here.

LOL. I'll let him know:laugh:

I vote mostly Democrat but I am a gun owner. My husband is a plumber. He does not have a big shed over his tool nor does he expose his buttcrack while going about his job.

If you can, borrow something to wear from a friend to get through the immediate crisis of having nothing to wear. Then remind yourself of the progress you are making. Every day you make the choice to eat better and move more, which is going to pay off in improved health. That's great! Keep your chin up. This is a speedbump…

From my super fat days: Fat=stupid Because I am not on FB, I must be computer illiterate. Because I dislike reality tv, I must be a snob.

Falling Down A hair-challenged but good hearted, optimistic guy travels all over the country, reading Auto Trader, and meeting lots of unusual folk while looking for his parents.

Lots of stuff, but I make a special trip across town for the Bay Blend coffee.

LOL It's cool, Jeets, I know you didn't mean me
