LOL about the chocolate! People are clueless! Be proud!

80 pounds in 8 months is FANTASTIC!!!

you should have asked that person how long ago she had her Lobotomy!!!

Oh it's fine, it didn't really offend me (considering the source) just left me baffled more than anything. I am THRILLED with where I am at this point. I weigh less than I have weighed in my entire adult life....I have no complaints at all It was just, well, funny, sorta, in a sick and twisted way.

80lbs GREAT!!!!!

80lbs in 8 month, you are doing Great!!! You may not be where you want to be, but you're not where you use to be.

Send your inquirer my way -- I'll tell her about my sextuplets and coven of batwings...........

Seriously I hope I am where you are after eight months! Great job!

You are doing great. Keep up the great work. I really love your blog. I so no how you feel. lol

People are so crazy. I get asked that ALL THE TIME. I have never had an hour glass figure. I am like a big old apple. I am a nurse and people always tell me not to get too close to certain medications because I don't want to harm my baby. I have even had people grab my tummy looking for a baby to kick. They are lucky I don't kick them....lol

I have even had people grab my tummy looking for a baby to kick.

I kinda wish you'd just blow out a big nasty fart when they do that and say "oops! It's the baby!!!" but i'm sorta warped like that

Thanks for the support guys. I feel great about where I am. And really, other than the dehydration/emergency unfill scenario it's not been a big deal. I have to work to get it off but I no longer have to starve and deprive myself to get it off. It makes all the difference in the world. For those of you just starting, stick with it, it is a magic little piece of plastic. I'm anxious to hit my 1 year anniversary and see how far I've come. My original 1 year goal was 75 pounds so I've reset to 100....won't break my heart if I don't make it but would be nice since it'll put me in the 190's for the first time since I was, oh 16 or so.
