Topic: RE: Post Holiday/Back to Work
I can add that through all these years, I've learned that people whether friends, family or foe, their jealousy is widespread. Some people just can't accept to see others succeed or acheive success with a healthier life. To make up for their own poor behavior they will say and do things to make theirselves look better.
I just keep this fresh in my mind to their ignorance and tell myself this person "is in denial of their own behavior and is trying to beat me down to make theirselves feel better". ...It's just like the forever repeated and old line, "surgery is the EASY way out"!!
Best solution is to smile and say, "I'm doing what is best for my body & health" and continue with what you need to do. Do not cave in to their bad habits.....an addict's best friend is another addict. And enablers are the worst!
Happy New Year to you as well and enjoy your journey in 2011!!!

Topic: RE: Dr. Oz - Move it & lose it 2011
No, I didn't get mine yet either, but if you sign up today at 3pm est (If I remember correctly) and you're in the first 2000 people to sign up you get a free pair of nike sneakers - maybe they're waiting until after that to send out the confirmation letters?

Well I'm in for sure! Luckily I didn't lose my "mojo" over the holidays so am looking forward to adding more or switching up my routine. I've signed up but still waiting for the initial email with login details. Did you get yours yet?

Topic: RE: Post Holiday/Back to Work
As "they" say....you can pick your friends but you can't pick your family!!!! Fortunately you have a "super hero husband" who is there for YOU!
I am lucky and have a supportive family most of the time. I come from a family of overweight folks. They are very supportive of my weight loss but not so sure about the surgery....but oh well, I will do what I will do for myself, not for anyone else.
Congratulations on the weight loss, 54 lbs is amazing and to keep losing through the holidays is huge in my eyes.
I cannot believe that ANYONE would give you cookies for Christmas!! That is just wrong, but it takes all kinds!
Happy New Year to everyone and all the best for 2011
