Don't listen to her. Let me say this...people that make fun of others, and discourage them are serious losers. They should be ashamed of what they do. Don't listen to anything she says. Be happy with who you are, and continue to try to reach your goal. The point of losing weight should be to please yourself, and become a healthier you. If you stop losing weight just becuase of "Marissa17" then you are only hurting yourself. She knows nothing about how your life should be, so over look her, and good luck on your goal...i'm rooting for ya.

Just ignore her. Let me be brutally honest with you Sara. You're 5 feet tall...and 270 pounds. You are overweight. You are more likely to get diabetes and heart disease. Don't let somebody stop you from being a healthier you. This Marissa17 is probably one of those people who gets a kick out of discouraging people. Don't let anyone stop you from reaching your goal. Because in the end, they wouldn't have prevented you from losing weight...you would have prevented yourself.
