This is too darn funny. I love all the responses, but I do think I'll go with this.

You guys are truly amazing and inspirational. So happy (yet sad) to hear that this is just a normal thing. Some of you have lost so much and it really inspires me to keep it off. I will just keep brushing it off and appreciate how far I've come.

WOW. You are all making me feel better. It was really annoying to me, but apparently everybody goes through it. I have also had the "didn't know you were that fat" conversation. I just followed that comment up with "Just think if I lost it, you can too". That shut them down on that comment.

Thank you for the help also. I am working on building my muscle mass up. Maybe that will help! :)

Thank you so much. :) That means a lot. Great advice. Trying to shake it off.

Again, thank you all very much. I am super excited. :)

Thank you so much everyone! Thank you Haibane. I appreciate you posting it. I couldn't figure it out earlier.

You can do it. I hope you made small goals. That's what I did, and it served to encourage me more and more every day.

I don't know how to post pictures in this forum. It doesn't give me a way to do that. I posted 3 sets of before and after on my blog today. They are here: http://www.chicagonow.com/arkielad/2014/06/fat-to-fit-the-before-and-after-pictures/#image/1 (I hope I am allowed to share that.)

I am going to have to do some photos. I promise to post one soon.
