I started my WOE last year on November 13. I lost most of the weight by early spring, then continued to lose a little now and then, while the remaining weight shifted around. The clothes I bought after my initial weight loss will now need to be taken in or replaced.
I'm now at 152, down from 190, and holding my own.
Other than a mini-nervous breakdown, quickly healed by two pints of Ben & Jerry's, I've been true blue.
Thanks to those of you who supported me. And to the ones who didn't: I GOT MINE, HOW YOU FIXED?

Ah, but success is the best revenge.
the need to point it out and throw it in people's faces is always petty, whether it's rooted in the desire for revenge or anything else (the desire for revenge, by the way, is petty). it says much more about the "successful" person than it does her detractors.
if she were truly successful, she wouldn't need to try & take anyone else down with her words.

She's not taking "anyone" else down - she is shouting at the anonymous void of usenet. If it gets it off her chest, who cares.

sniping is sniping, whether it's at the "anonymous void" or a specific person. her need to make such a petty comment detracts from her success. there's more to being "successful" than losing weight.

This sounds incredibly inconsistent coming from somebody who regularly supports J.C. and his awful comments.

i've never supported his nastiness. i support his attempts to try to steer people towards self-sufficiency.
i do understand that most people are unable to make the distinction.
I hate seeing people doing that too. Sort of mars the style so to speak.

Good grief - did she hit a nerve? You not losing? So what??? Why do you have to rain on somebody else's parade. Oh wait - that's what you do best. Momentary lapse of reason there.

Your constant support of his comments is only making the nasty comments come more often.
I do understand that you might be unable to make that distinction.

it has nothing to do with losing weight, and she obviously doesn't need me to rain on her parade: she's doing it herself by letting people she doesn't like live rent-free in her head. freedom from excess bodyweight doesn't mean much if you're still a slave to your useless emotional baggage, which can be just as heavy as fat - if not heavier.
