i don't belive they are either Ignorant is more the word I would use to discribe them I don't think they wanted to hurt your feelings just hitting 199 pounds is a big deal and such a huge step, but unless you have weighed alot know one knows what thats like. I do when I was 16 I lost 130 pounds down to one hundred and 94 pounds I cried on that day that I reached that 199 mark but alas I gained it back. again in my twentys I saw that elusive scale mark and here is nothing as beautiful that I have seen. wish that I had done what you had marked it for eternity maybe if I had I would not have gained that weight back again plus a whole lot more Congradulations on ONderland I am pleased and proud of you and oh yes can't wait to join you

Nanette, It is okay to be mad, but, try and let it go.  You are so right that no one understands how we do about weight and the life long struggle we have with it, unless they have the same struggle.  People say stupid stuff when they don't understand.  I think, if you really knew what they were thinking, you would find that they are quite proud of you!  I know I am!!!!!

THANK YOU GUYS I KNEW YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND I JUST NEEDED SOMEBODY ELSE TO HEAR WHAT I HAD TO SAY AND TELL ME IF I WAS WRONG OR WRITE OR WHAT TO DO WELL YOU KNOW. THANK YOU. NANETTE YOU ARE ALL ANGELS
