Giving the haters something to hate about!:wub:

Keeping it moving...the scale in going in the right direction.

I am reaching my goals and setting new ones! :cursing:

BETSY:

I love you positive mental attitude! :cursing:

I can tell you have been utilizing behavior modification and working really faithfully to achieve your wgt loss goals...congratualtions! I really appreciate your positive words of encouragement...you have no idea how much I have been suffering in silence soaking in all of the negetive comments regarding my weight loss! :wub:

I am empowered now!

I am ready to embrace my diligent efforts and flaunt my weight loss...I worked for this new look!

Thanks once again, and much continued success to you!

Brad:

You are awesome!:cursing:

Thank you! I agree that my wgt loss is monitored my myself and my doctor...I am just amazed at the comments that I get on a daily basis! I haven't felt empowered enough to respond in any positive way...I wanted to find out if other bandsters have experienced such negetivey from haters?

Your pictures are absolutely great!:wub::thumbup:

Sld21 Thank you for your reply...it is absolutely correct! I went to the doctor yesterday, and I was given absolutely the exact same information! Thank you for the encouragement! Much continued success to you!

Thank you for your comments...I have become a little self-conscious regarding my weight because it is always the subject of conversation...I purposely didnt tell people that I had weight lost surgery, and needless to say, people will talk. Congratulations on your weight lost! You keep up the good work!:scared2:

I had my surgery in March 2008, to date I have lost 123 pounds and my current weight is 174.:scared2:

My doctor is excited, that I have surpassed my goal but, people make the rudest comments regarding me looking "too" small!

Actually, I am tired of my weight as the subject of conversation everytime I am around people!

I just want to be as normal to everyone else that I am to myself! I have learned that people really are shallow and cannot see beyond weight. Truthfully, I felt really good about myself when I was heavy, and I feel equally good now, I think I am the same person, just a lot lighter...so my question is how much is too much weight lost? When will the plateau began...I am still losing weight?

I went to the doctor to have Fluid removed so I could stop losing weight, and I was refused, so I have to work more on behavior modification techniques to control my weight lost...any suggestions?
