WHAT A JERK!!!!! Whoever said that, shame on them. I mean really, you do what you like to get exercise and don't let that jerk discourage you! Trust me, I understand... I get strange looks at the gym. I am the most overweight person my age that goes there... AND I SWIM, so yeah, me in a bathing suit with either super sexy people or older bigger people. The in shape people look and stare because I can actually swim pretty well and have better stamina than some of them. So, for that 1 jerk there are plenty of people who admire/are not judging you. I know I don't look good doing anything at this point/size but it doesn't matter. We are doing these things to improve ourselves! With more weight loss and practice we will look better and better. Please don't let that affect what you're doing, you're doing just fine!

what nerve some people have....i say go on girl!! I noticed from your blog we are literally neighbors as im in Richmond!!!!

Let your haters hate
or let them motivate...
never let them choose your fate!

That's awesome! We practically are neighbors!
