Brook, I visited your Melting Page and have but one question. Do you really get that many creepy or inappropriate messages in your Guest Book?

I read what you wrote below, and was perplexed as to why people would harass someone trying do only something positive with their lives.

"Oh - also, if you want to leave uneducated remarks in my guest book, spare us both. Spare yourself the time to type it out and me the time to delete it. Thank you. And have a nice day. "

Some people feel intimidated/threatened by someone with such a strong and outspoken (I think that was the word that was used) passion for our WOE. Maybe those are the creeps that were leaving dumb messages?? haah! Brook you know what I mean.

Yes, I concur, Most people are frustrated with themselves that they are not able to achieve their own goals, no matter how small they are, so get highly upset at people who achive their mightiest goal.

Thank you, everyone

Oreo- I'm 5 foot 5.5 inches (yes, I'm throwing that 1/2 inch in there! LOL) ....why?

Bigumpah- My website has been up for about 3 1/2 years now - since I started, really. It's made the rounds on low-carb sites, weight loss sites, fitness sites - which I had no clue about until people signed the guestbook or sent me an email telling me that's how they found my page. I've had people sign on and go off about everything from how unhealthy Atkins is to how I must be terribly arrogant to put my pictures up there to how I need to lose more weight (once I called goal) to how I need to gain weight cuz I'm anorexic looking. LOLOL I've gotten blasted with a bit of everything, and the guest book that's up now is fairly new. The old one got nuked accidentally some time ago.

Yeah. People can be really icky, and for awhile I got bombarded. It sucked

Allie & FightingTheFight -Thank you very, very much. I'd like to think it's something along those lines, anyway! LOL

Re: So this is what 15lbs -5 looks like.

I was asking how tall you were because in your before/after pictures you appear that you would weigh 123 or 125 lbs not 153 so I assumed you were taller then the average women.
You certainly look great at 153!!!
