I took off 30+ pounds in the last half of 2011, and got lots of comments that I shouldn't lose more weight or lost too much. I don't think any of them were made out of jealousy. I think all of them were expressing concern about my health, as sudden weight loss at my age could be the result of a variety of health issues. I even had one person say she was afraid to compliment me on the weight loss in case it wasn't deliberate.
The comments slowly dried up over time. Now, a year and a half into maintenance, the same people who thought I lost too much or were concerned that I shouldn't lose more have apparently become accustomed to how I look now. I haven't heard a comment about having lost too much in several months. I can forgive comments about how I shouldn't lose more, because I've pretty much come to that conclusion based on how I feel when the weight drops below 160. Anyway, that's my best thought for dealing with the comments about losing too much weight: Out-last them. Maintain the weight, make the trend go sideways, and eventually people will see the new you as the normal you.

Had a laugh today. We went to the cottage and our neighbour is a very fit, slim lady who eats very healthy. So this is the first time we've seen each other since last fall and she said I look FABULOUS! Well, just go figure....the rest of the world seems to think I look skinny, drawn and sick! tee hee hee.

At my lowest weight pretty much everyone I came in contact said that I was too skinny. I guess at some point you really can get "too skinny". Once my doctor told me that I was too skinny I decided to gain some weight back, which is such a weird feeling.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, that "cancer story" is very familiar to me! Even my dr began to wonder. But you know, I'm 57, have been a yo yo dietier all my life and when you wait until my age to lose 50 lbs for the last time, your skin doesn't fit as well as it used to. Unfortunate, but true. Now God did bless me with a thin face in the first place, so unless a person looked underneath my baggy clothing, they wouldn't have known I was 192 lbs. Now, my face does look gaunt, but I'm hoping with the summer weather coming, I'll look healthier.
(gee, even the checkout clerk at my corner grocery store is looking at me funny these days!!!) Anyway, I still have to get the rest of this weight off from around my middle. Cheers, Sandi

Thank you sooo much for your comment!! I really had begun to question what I wanted my goal to be, and had kinda become self conscious about looking "sickly", as some people have said to me. I had been kinda upping my calories to stay where I am,but just in the last few days, after really studying some articles and information on maintenance, I am going to go ahead and go for 158-160 as my goal weight to account for regain and stuff like that while transitioning to maintenance. The beauty of your comment right now is you seemed to just come along and confirm that for me!!! Thank you so much for that!!! I like what you said too, MY body, MY life, My weight!!!

Congratulations on your weight loss, ndham5! You truly are an inspiration!
I went through exactly what you're going through, in terms of getting negative comments about weight loss. In 1994, I lost over 30 pounds and developed a very lean body by working with a personal trainer 5 days a week (long story). Anyway, I'm 5' 10", and when I reached 165 (which is on the high end of BMI for my height), people began telling me I looked "too thin." When I reached 160, friends and relatives started coming up to me and asking me if I had cancer or something because I "look(ed) so gaunt." I know they were well-intended, but these comments were hurtful because: a) I was not "gaunt" (I had a very toned and sexy body, frankly!), and b) it diminished my ability to enjoy my success and the look of my figure. I finally caved in and allowed myself to gain 10 pounds (putting me at 170) because my closest associates agreed I "looked best" at that weight. However, I didn't "feel my best" at that weight, and to this day I regret listening to them. MY body, MY weight, MY life.. I should have done what I wanted and not listened to the others. Try not to let the negative comments get you down. YOU do what's best for YOU. My personal opinion is that the negative commenters simply are jealous. You look great, and they feel threatened by that. Try not to feel self-conscious. As the people around you get used to your new weight, they'll come to accept it as your "norm," and the negativity should dissipate. Hang in there! ~B

Unfortunately it's really sad that people sometimes get a kick out of saying something negative instead of positive. Keep up the good work and keep your head up!! You are definitely not alone :)

I know it's been about a month since anyone commented on this, but I just found it and it really resonated with me. I have gotten a few of those "the wind is going to blow you away" or "you've lost enough weight now" comments recently, which realistically, I know that I am way far away from being too small (5'6" 159 - dancing on the edge of a healthy BMI), but it did hit a nerve for me. I felt like those comments had to be about their issues rather than mine, but reading that so many of you have had the same experience just confirms it for me.
Oddly, there are some people who have heard those comments directed at me and said, "Gosh, I wish someone would say that about me," as if it were some kind of weird compliment. If complimenting me was their goal, they didn't do a very good job at it!
Nell- I love that visual!

Krystal, have you ever been in the ocean? When the waves come up, if you stand they'll knock you over and tumble you up onto the shore, but if you bend down they go over you and you can then stand up and watch it roll up and peter out on the shore. Let your MIL's word go over you, picture it in your mind, watch yourself stand up behind them and watch them peter themselves out. Sometimes a picture really helps. The more you do it, the easier it gets.

My MIL is always saying something but she is a negative person. It is never out of concern just jealousy. It always bothers me and she says it like she is kidding but i don't like it. She will always see you better eat a damn piece of pie like she is mad at my weightloss. She has not been happy with her weight in along time but they go out 4plus times a week and drink like beer is going to run out. It is frustrating when people get upset about it or jealous because i never flaunt or anything. I have worked hard i could see if they worked just as hard with no results. Ok sorry went on a rant lol my husbands family have been driving me crazy with this subject actually lol. I told my husband if his brother called me skinny or invisable one more time! lol
Let it go though i really try, for those couple negative comments you get you will get a dozen to be inspired. That is what these forums are for someome understands and we can life eachother up You are beautiful. Everything about you, makes you a amazing treasured child of god. Don't let anyone make you feel like less.

I am thin now and have been thin for so long that few remember me as fat. I do, however, watch every bite that I eat. Most people with weight issues assume that as thin as I am now, I can eat whatever THEY would want to eat if they were as thin as I am. I just tell them that I was the "fat girl" in high school. They look askance, but it's true. I change any discussion from "weight" to "food", a topic that everyone can excitedly participate in.
One of the things I learned in my fat high school days is "Never let them see you hurt". In those days I carried the pain of slurs, of exclusion, of abuse, with a smile, then went home and ate in secret. I can still get those slurs about other things, but the discipline of never letting them see me hurt has served me well. That was why WW meetings were so valuable: in that safe place I could talk about it, get the hugs and the support on this issue. There are people with whom I cannot discuss my political beliefs or my religious beliefs, too, but that's OK. I just smile and get to the places where I CAN discuss those things. I don't need to convince other people of anything. It's very freeing. Nell

Nell, what gets me glares is when THEY'RE talking about weight, etc and I join in. It happens at work and I sometimes I feel like saying, "Guys, don't you remember? I used to be much bigger!" After all, some of these folks knew me through the prednisone moon-face years!

You know it's funny, I never thought about other people's insecurities. Me being me, when I was overweight, I was always happy for those who had weight loss successes, and I wanted to hear their story and how they did it! You all have given me great encouragement!!

Oneweigh, I get glares when I talk about ANYTHING someone else doesn't want to talk about, whether it's weight loss and food or anything else. Ever watch men when the women start talking about childbirth? For some reason we aren't as sensitive to the people who "gotta go" when the topic turns to artificial nails as we are to the same reaction regarding our weight loss.

MKELLY72 has hit the nail on the head! Others have said it's a question of the speed you are perceived to lose at, I agree.

I haven't had any really negative comments, though I get glared at a bit when I talk about weight/eating with people who are still overweight. I don't think they realize how hard I work to stay this size! I did have someone at church ask cautiously if my weight loss was intentional before telling me I looked good. He's just an aquaintance and he has lost substantial weight himself, but he wanted to make sure I wasn't sick before he complimented me. Once upon a time, when I was losing weight the WRONG way--through depresstion and just not eating--my doctor told me that I needed to stop losing weight for a month to prove to him that I was controling my weight and that my weight wasn't controlling me. I was dancing on the edge of anorexia, though I wasn't close to being underweight.

I don't mind the negative comments so much as long as they aren't accompanied by someone trying to sabotage my healthy eating.

I know I feel good in my skin for maybe the first time in my life? So I guess, it's something I should get used to and come up with a nice reply to what is perceived by me as a negative comment! All I know is I did a lot of hard work to get to this point and it feels soooooo gooood!! :))

I've been at goal for a long time, but a couple of years ago my hubby had a couple of strokes, and broke his leg. The leg took two surgeries, lots of home nursing care over 4 months, and a month of home administered IV antibiotics. The stress of it knocked another 6 pounds off me. Lots of people initially warned me not to get too thin, but after awhile they stopped noticing. I am just waiting for the day when I inevitably regain some weight back up to my goal, there will be people asking if I've gained weight! Frankly I have no idea why my appearance would be of any interest to anyone. I think I am only concerned about what I perceive as criticism if at some level I think they may be right, or I want them to be right. I have absolutely no qualms about my weight, not even teeny ones, so comments from others go in one ear and out the other.

I do believe a lot of it is what people get used to. I also got comments telling me not to loose anymore weight. Jokes about a big gust of wind will blow me over. I am smack in the middle of a healthy bmi for maybe the first time in my life and I am not too light. So understand that people are used to seeing you heavier and also, some seemed to see my weight loss as somewhat of a judgement of them and their obesity too. It was not meant to be that.

I think some people just look so different all of a sudden that it freaks peeps out??? I don't know. I think we both look (and feel) great. it's been up to me to inspire me.

I get this too, plus lots of comments like 'you are so slim, you don't need to worry about it!' (when I am careful about what I eat.) I just smile and say this time I don't intend to regain weight like I always did before. Somehow people seem to think that once you are to goal weight you should be able to eat ANYTHING (especially since I walk so much.) I am quick to tell them that I can't!!

Thanks guys!!! You are all awesome!!! I will just have to get used to this new "normal", it is just so weird to hear "TOO SMALL?!?!?"
God is good and faithful!!
Yep- I got (and still get) them too. I started hearing it when I was around 180, which I wasn't expecting. I just smiled too, and said that I must carry it well, because I'm still about 30 pounds overweight. Now I get people thinking I'm still losing weight (I've maintained the same 4 pound window for 9 months now)-I think part of it is their perception- another factor - I think anyway- is the shift in "average" body sizes. When you look at the population where you work- like I have- the average size of the women at work is in some cases substantially larger than I am now- I used to be one of the largest women where I work. Americans, as a population, have gotten bigger on average because of the easily available processed foods and the low levels of physical activity that our modern lives require, and when a handful of us finally wake up out of that fog of accepting that new "normal" it challenges those who are still in the fog. We, by comparison, are "too thin", even though, really we are not.
I wonder if they need to make themselves feel better for remaining in that unhealthy fog, and I try not to take it personally, although sometimes it's easier than other times. I wonder though, when people will get used to the new me and stop telling me I'm too thin. And it really rubs me the wrong way when someone says, "are you still on your diet? IT WAS NEVER A DIET, PEOPLE! The comments come less frequently now than they did when I first reached my goal, and I've recently started to get a lot of expressions of congratulations on keeping the weight off, so that's a nice thing to look forward to.

I started getting those comments when I was still over 200lbs! Like 220ish, 210ish. I think people were used to seeing me at 290 so what the heck do they know! :P I'm like, people - I'm still over 200lbs. Thanks, but calm down. I'm just trying to be a healthy weight for my height, I promise not to go below that!

I had comments recently from in-laws who hadn't seen me for a while. "Too thin" was the main one, plus "I couldn't eat what you eat, I'd put on weight". (I eat a huge amount of leafy vegetables, other veges and fruit.) These comments came from people who have their own lifestyle issues and I think I was a bit of a living reproach to them! I just say, "Well, it works for me." and smile, sweetly I hope!!

I haven't (except from my husband, who likes chubby women) - but a friend lost a lot of weight, and got to a point where people kept telling her to stop losing. She hit a size 9/10, which was pretty thin for her height and bone structure - so she decided that size 10/12 was probably best for her.
But she would just smile, tell people "thank you for your concern", and walk away and ignore them. "Dance as if no one is watching."

I've had this happen. Hell, I've even had my own mother tell me I shouldn't lose any more weight. Two things. 1) For me, it isn't about the weight or the number on the scale. It's about how I feel. And if I'm energized, stronger, happier, etc. at a lower number, than so be it. And, 2) Haters gonna hate. Don't listen to it. You gotta take the positive and let go of the negative. Easier said than done at times, but well worth it.

I haven't, but I've definitely had negative reactions to the exercise I do/have done to lose the weight and maintain. Don't they realize that although most of it is what we eat, exercise plays a role too? And if I enjoy everything I do, shouldn't I enjoy it in peace?
I think there's just people out there that have so little going on in their lives or need to escape their own lives that they have to manage someone else's...unfortunate, but true. Don't listen to the haters! Chin up! :) Jane

So I have lost 90 pounds, over a 22 month period. It's been slow, and not always steady on the scale. But I finally feel great!! But....something has happened I didn't see coming, I am starting to get sort of negative comments that I am losing too much or that I am too small. Now I weigh 165 pounds and I am 5'7" tall. So I am not nearly too skinny. I am wearing about a size 10/12 pants and a small to medium top. At first most people gave me lots of compliments, but now all I am hearing is that I am losing too much. I have been transitioning to maintenance and I am adding more calories, carefully( ie healthy, quality calories) to my daily caloric intake. People don't seem to understand you just don't push a button and stop losing, it is a transition! Anyone else had this experience, I am beginning to get a little self conscious about being too small.....didn't that coming!!!!!

Over half of my property consists of swamp land and a small river running through it. I already can't do anything to my own property. I think they should reduce my taxes by the percentage of my land that they think they already own, and even more if this bill gets passed. Just watch Oberstar's video on his website. What a stuttering old fool. Minnesota, the land of 10,000 lakes, and even more wet lands. I am sooooo tired of government passing more and more laws all the time that nobody knows what they can and can't do anymore, and neither does government because nobody reads the friggin bills.
Oberstar is up for mid-term election November 2010. If you live in Minnesota I encourage you to vote for somebody who will adhere to the constitution.
H.R.5088 – We don't need our ponds and drainage ditches scrutinized. The way things are going they will want us to fence our ponds and streams to keep the cows out! Just another incumbant politician that needs to be voted out folks.
Here is the link to comments on the previous version of this same stupid bill.
Had the bill simply sought to protect water quality without laying claim to private property, it would not be another underhanded attempt to usurp constitutional intent. As written, congressman Oberstar is proving to be another sleazy politician, or not bright enough to understand the consequences of his puppeteer's proposed bill on private lands.

Writers on the Bay: Among the many celebrated authors to emerge from South Florida are the three participating in tonight's "Writers on the Bay," a reading by Florida International University alumni -- Barbara Parker, author of the legal thrillers Suspicion of Innocence and Criminal Justice; Stephen Benz, who has written travel memoirs such as Guatemalan Journey and the upcoming Green Dreams, and who also chairs the English department at Barry University; and Vicki Hendricks, author of the rather notorious Miami Purity and an instructor at Broward Community College. All three will read from their recent works starting at 8:00 p.m. at FIU's North Miami campus (151st Street and Biscayne Boulevard, room HM-135). Admission is free. Call 919-5857 for more information. (JO)

Y-100's 24th Birthday Bash: Gloria Estefan. Jon Secada. Night Ranger. What to say? If you like this kind of stuff, nothing's going to change your mind. It's $24, 6:30 p.m. at the Miami Arena (721 NW First Ave.; 530-4400). The rest of you, read on. We are talking about a radio station that has survived 24 years in the volatile South Florida market while playing dead-center-of-the-road vanilla pop that is offensive precisely because it's so bland, and now they have now taken it upon themselves to thrust on us this yearly self-congratulatory romp through hell. Then they have the nerve to charge 24 bucks for it and act as if it's such a bargain we should be eternally thankful they've limited ticket sales to the tricounty area. Never mind that we have all seen Gloria and Jon more times than Sly Stallone has cursed the day he ever moved to Miami, but they just had to dig up Night Ranger from whatever dusty cemetery of mediocre hair bands in which they were buried. Enough said. (JO)
Ronda Gitana: Bailes Ferrer, Broward County's first (and as far as we know only) flamenco dance and music company, presents its second annual dance concert tonight at 8:00 and tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. at the University Center for the Performing Arts (2240 SW 70th Ave., Davie). Ronda Gitana is a dance journey that depicts the migration of Gypsies from India to southern Spain, incorporating dance and musical influences from the Middle East. Additional performances take place September 27 and 28 at the Broward Main Library Theater (100 S. Andrews Ave., Fort Lauderdale). Tickets cost eight and ten dollars. Call 954-384-2241. (GC)

Jumbo Baseball Update on Lions
SAGU takes baseball series with 7-3 win
Denton goes 8-of-11, throws out 5-of-6 runners
Box Scores, Play-by-Play, Standings (access below)
View Hundred of Photos from Saturday at: movingpictures.photoreflect.com
WAXAHACHIE, Texas -- Led by a stellar weekend from senior Jared Denton, the Southwestern Assemblies of God University baseball team won a three-game series, two-to-one, over Southwestern Christian University.
SAGU dropped the first game of a Friday doubleheader, 4-2, before taking the second game by the same score. The double-dip was played at the Waxahachie Sports Complex.
The Lions won the rubber game at the campus ballfield, 7-3. It was played in a misty, drizzle, conditions that led to a few misplayed balls and bad hops.
It was the second straight league series won by SAGU, who elevated their overall record to 14-16. At 5-7 in the Sooner Athletic Conference, the team is in sixth place among the ten teams.
Denton is from the Rio Grande Valley's Sharyland High School (Mission, Tx), where he played his prep career for the "Rattlers."
This weekend he struck SWCU for eight base hits in eleven trips to the plate, including four doubles. "JD" drove in four runs and scored three times.
Perhaps more impressive was his performance behind the dish. While catching the first and third games he threw out five-of-six runners attempting to steal a base. Denton nailed four-of-five in one game.
This spring he has recoiled to bite 10-of-18 would-be base-burglars.
Denton's batting average rose to .400, which ranks sixth among the Top 10 in the SAC.
"We are really proud of the effort and resolve our guys played with in the series," Head Coach Sam Blackmon said. "Despite losing the first game, we stayed focused and got great pitching performances from Hayden (Killebrew) and Raul (Castro) in game two."
"Then we got another one from "Tres" (Pedro Ortiz) in game three."
"Offensively Jared and Clay (Gentle) had great weekends," he continued, "and several guys stepped up big in various situations to help offensively."
"Defensively, turning several critical double was a major highlight as well."
For his part, Gentle turned in an 8-for-13 series against SCU.
The visiting Eagles scored all four of their runs in the top of the first inning against SAGU's Jeremy Cross (Americus, Ga / Harker Heights HS, Univ of Dallas).
An infield hit, four walks, an error and a suicide squeeze bunt produced the only runs SWCU would need. One of them was unearned.
Cross, a senior left-hander, pitched into the fourth inning, allowing five hits and six base on balls. His record slipped to 2-2.
Bryant Threadgill (Whitewright, Tx / Whitewright HS, Dallas Chr. College) tossed the final three and two-thirds of an inning without giving up a run. He yielded three hits, all singles.
SAGU was held scoreless in the first four innings, though they did have four hits.
The Lions 'pleaded their case in the fifth,' when they scored twice, but left the bases loaded.
Brock Schneider (Arlington, Tx / Martin HS) singled past the shortstop to start the rally. A pinch-hitter moved him to second with a groundout to first.
Preston Hornbeck (McKinney, Tx / McKinney HS, Heston JuCo) got a free pass and Gentle sent a smash through the infield to load the bags with Lions.
Following a change of pitchers, Denton ripped a hit to left-centerfield with Schneider racing home. Tallon Ralstin (Cortez, Colo / Cortez HS) lined a single to shallow center to knock in Hornbeck. The next two batters flew out, down the leftfield line and to leftcenter.
Zack Ballangee, who relieved Jacob Spencer that inning, then sat down the Lions in order in the sixth and seven innings.
Denton went 3-for-4 and Gentle was 2-for-4. Ralstin, Schneider and Lance Marks (Nevada, Tx / Community HS, Central Christian College) had the team's other three hits.
The second game saw Hayden Killebrew (Red Oak, Tx / Red Oak HS) earn the win by scattering nine hits in four and two-thirds of an inning. Now 2-1, the sophomore walked two and struck out one.
SAGU produced a run in the first, two in the third and a final tally in the bottom of the fifth.
Denton powered a double deep down the leftfield line and scored when Threadgill answered with a base knock to left.
The Purple Pride tacked on a crooked number with two-outs in the third.
Gentle singled to straight-away center and Denton punched one through a gap in the infield.
A grounder to shortstop off the bat of Threadgill ended with an errant throw that allowed Gentle to come home. Eric Hagstrom (Universal City, Tx / Converse Judson HS, Lubbock Christian Univ) followed with a bouncing ball that was bobbled at short and Denton trotted to the dish for a 3-1 lead.
The Eagles drew to within a run with a single and a triple to right-center in the top of the fifth. Raul Castro (Garland, Tx / Berkner HS, Hillsdale College) got the call to relieve Killebrew.
He retired the first batter on a pop-up to Gentle at second.
SAGU quickly replied with an insurance run that inning.
Once again it was Denton providing the stimulus.
He crushed a pitch deep into the wind that appeared unplayable. It bounded to the fence in leftcenter while he cruised into second with an easy, stand-up double.
Threadgill, a 6'3 sophomore, beat out an infield single between first and second, advancing Denton to third.
Wily senior Nick Sheffield (Maypearl, Tx / Maypearl HS) then laid down an aptly placed bunt with Denton scoring easily for a 4-2 lead.
Castro enjoyed a 1-2-3 sixth. But in the seventh he had to work to earn a save.
The sophomore righty got the first man on a fly to Ralstin in right before the Eagles put two runners on board. A questionable walk came on a 2-2 pitch before clean-up hitter, Aaron Ibarra, hit a flair that just eluded the infield in right.
The 6'2 Castro shut the door with one pitch to Drake Johnson. His grounder to Gentle was scooped and pitched to Hornbeck at shortstop, who fired to a fully stretched Threadgill at first. The twin-killing ended the game for the victorious Lions.
Denton went 3-for-3 and scored thrice while Threadgill turned in a 2-fo-3 effort. Schneider, Josh Terry (Daingerfield, Tx / Daingerfield HS) and Gentle each had one hit.
Pedro "Tres" Ortiz (Lorena, Tx / Lorena HS) capped the series with well-pitched, nine inning complete game victory, his third complete game of the season.
The 5'9 southpaw surrendered only four hits, three runs, though only one was earned. He walked two and whiffed three.
With a mix of varying speed pitches he kept the Eagles off-balance while throwing 123 pitches.
Staked to a 4-0 lead, Ortiz ran into trouble in the fifth and sixth frames.
The Blue Birds produced two runs on an infield error, a triple by Johnson into the gap in left-center, and a passed ball.
In their next at bat they used a walk, a sacrifice bunt and an infield error to draw to within 4-3.
Ortiz escaped further damage in the sixth when, with two runners on board and two outs, a liner was hit over the Lions shortstop. But the 6'0 bearded Hornbeck spun to his right, and leapt to catch the ball with a backhanded stab.
In the seventh the Eagles were threatening when Ortiz bore down to snuff out the rally.
He struck out one batter, swinging, then benefitted from a double play. Hornbeck fielded a hot hopper and tossed to Gentle, who turned and gunned the runner to Threadgill at first.
Ortiz appeared to be tiring in the eighth, but Pitching Coach Chris Semprun, after a meeting on the mound, stuck with him. He surrendered a leadoff single, then whirled and nabbed the runner with a pickoff play at first.
Keeping his pitches low he sat down the next two batters on grounders to Hornbeck and Sheffield at third.
He took the hill in the ninth determined to finish the job.
Following an infield single, he got another double play; Gentle-to-Hornbeck-to-Threadgill, before retiring the last batter on a foul fly to right that was gloved by Jonathan Santiago (Arlington, Tx / Bowie HS).
Ortiz had just enough to get to the finish line. Like the chorus of a hit tune by The Wallflowers, "he drove it home with one headlight."
SAGU had plenty of chances to turn the game into a rout, rapping 15 hits and picking up three walks. While they did produce seven runs, they also left 13 runners stranded on base.
The Pride got on the board once in the third. After infield singles by Schneider and Hornbeck, the Eagles intentionally walked the red-hot Denton to fill the bags with 'Cats with one out. Threadgill sent a sacrifice fly to center to knock in Schneider.
They added some distance to the lead with three more in the next frame using four hits and an error. Singles by Sheffield and Hornbeck sandwiched a misplayed Santiago grounder to put Jungle Kings on each base.
Gentle stroked a looping liner to left for one run, then, with nowhere to put Denton, they pitched to him. He ripped a shot to the fence in left-center that had runners scurrying like scalded dogs for two more runs.
Southwestern Christian clawed closer but SAGU slammed the back door by tacking on three more runs in the bottom of the seventh.
Dej Mathis (Wister, Ok / Wister HS, Bacone College), who had flattened a pitch for a double in the fifth, reached first when his ground ball to first took a bad hop off Ibarra's shoulder.
Sheffield worked a walk just ahead of a double along the first baseline by Santiago. It scored both runners. Hornbeck singled to drive in "Santi" for a 7-3 upper hand.
Gentle was anything but, registering a 4-for-5 game. Hornbeck accounted for three hits while Denton, Mathis and Sheffield were each credited with two hits. Both Santiago and Schneider hit safely as well.
Coach Blackmon rested two of his best pitchers, Jarrod Pisors (Red Oak, Tx / Red Oak HS) and Tucker Burt (North Richland Hills, Tx / Westlake Academy). The latter said he hopes to be back later this week.
Home game Tuesday evening at the Waxahachie Sports Complex
The Lions return to action on Tuesday evening, March 25. Jarvis Christian College, 15-9 in all games and 5-1 in the Red River Athletic Conference. The game begins at 6:00pm at the Waxahachie Sports Complex.
The Bulldogs have won 11 of their last 13 games.
SAGU travels to Chickasha, Ok. (pronounced CHICK-ah-SHAY) next weekend when they play a three-game set against the University of Science & Arts of Oklahoma (USAO). The Drovers are 11-16 in all games and 3-9 in league action.
The team has 18 games remaining on their schedule, 12 of them at home.

Brightens your eyes ALOT! and it last very long. I have had this product for 1 year and I have never had to sharpen it, I use it almost every day. It is worth every single penny! I love it
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
This is a very good product, especially for a person who doesn't get a lot of sleep and wants to conceal darkness around the eyes. I use it sometimes on my waterline, corner of eye and undereyes. The only thing I would change is to change the packaging, do NOT like it in pencil form.
Age: 18 & Under
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Blond, Other, Other
Eyes: Blue
this is a HG eye product for me. I absolutely HATE Benefit eyeliners, but eye bright is amazing. i use it on my browbone, inner corners of my eyes, and even on my waterline to give me a wide awake look, this product really makes ,y eyes look alot brighter and awake especially if i am wearing darker eye makeup on the lid.
i like the packaging of the product, i find the chunky pencil quick and easy to use, and it is much easier to apply than it is in the pan form (e.g in the Benefit Smokin' Eyes kit).
the only problem i have is the price. i do not think it is justifiable to spend over 20 euro on an eye pencil, i find most benefit products to be overpriced.
however, this product is of excellent quality, and i recommend it to people who are looking for a luxury eye pencil to brighten things up a bit!
Age: 44-55
Skin: Oily, Other, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
I wish Eye Bright came in a cream/compact as it's a great color for brightening under the eyes. My circles aren't dark enough to warrant a real salmon-y concealer, so this works well enough on its own. It can get drying though so I need to be careful with application. This works great under Stay, Don't Stray.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Normal, Tan, Warm
Hair: Black, Straight, Fine
Eyes: Black
I picked this up on an impulse, wanting a quick and easy shortcut to highlighting my eyes. Perhaps it's my fault for not using it properly... but how else am I supposed to use it? Did nothing for me - made me look like I have faint lines under my eyes, made me look rather tired. I'm glad if it works for you - definitely doesn't for me, though!
Age: 56 & Over
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Red, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Green
I allowed myself to be talked into buying this by a Benefit SA. I am not one to be easily convinced or coaxed into buying something, but I have used some Benefit products that have worked well for me. Unfortunately, this would not be included in that group.
The idea is to use this as a highlighter under the brow, on the inner corners of the eyes and even under the lid. I thought this would brighten up my undereye area. But the product is not easy to apply and goes on chalky. I also noticed that it doesn't have much staying power. You have to keep reapplying it during the day.
I was convinced that this would be a good undereye brightener, but I cannot recommend it for that purpose. It's not creamy enough and doesn't blend well. This was a real disappointment. By contrast, I have been using Ooh La Lift under my eyes for a number of years. I use it after applying my concealer. It's kind of a last minute touch to give a little pop of brightness under the eyes. This is a creamy pinkish liquid that goes on smoothly with the felt tip applicator. I can blend in with my fingers or my Real Techniques Deluxe Crease brush. I think it does a great job.
This was a waste of money, because I just didn't use this Eye Bright much at all. I really didn't need that. Oh well, live and learn.
Age: 36-43
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Black, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Blue
I really like this. I got it in a set because its not something I would normally buy or even probably consider buying or looking at.
-it's a very light natural pink color.
-brightens up the water line
-can be used anywhere on your face that needs some color correction. I've used it in dark bags (ugh) under my eyes to kinda reflect light. Sides of my nose where it's red, etc.
-this really is a multi use product that, on me, is neither drying or too oily.
-sets good with powder or with one.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Other, Other
Eyes: Hazel
Obsessed with this product!!! I don't have bad under eye circle, just some redness that comes along with not getting enough sleep or just being tired. I put a little bit of this sucker on around my eyes and it totally brightens and wakes up my entire face. This is a MUST HAVE for most of us who just don't get the required 8 hours of sleep a night. It really sets well and helps keep my eye makeup in place. Great product. Cannot stop raving about it!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair, Cool
Hair: Brunette, Curly, Coarse
Eyes: Green
i find this product completely useless. love their lemon-aid. this stuff just makes me look old.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Combination, Tan, Warm
Hair: Other, Other, Medium
Eyes: Brown
This is a light pink-toned pencil that has shimmer. It's alright, but you can't get a good consistency by dragging the pencil over your lids. The pencil is too hard to do that and the skin around your eyes is fragile. And god knows I hate applying things with my fingers. Don't bother, it is not worth the money.

The Holy Father this morning met representatives of Germany's Muslim communities at the Apostolic Nunciature in Berlin.
Dear Muslim Friends,
I am glad to be able to welcome you here, as the representatives of different Muslim communities in Germany. From my heart I thank Professor Mouhanad Khorchide for his kind greeting. His words show me what a climate of respect and trust has grown up between the Catholic Church and the Muslim communities in Germany.
Berlin is a good place for a meeting like this, not only because the oldest mosque on German territory is located here, but also because Berlin has the largest Muslim population of all the cities in Germany.
From the 1970s onwards, the...READ MORE

ATLANTA, Sept. 8— The Coca-Cola Company's chairman and chief executive, Roberto Goizueta, has been hospitalized for treatment of a localized malignant lung tumor, the company said today.
The tumor was found after Mr. Goizueta, 65, felt unusually tired during a recent overseas business trip and checked into Emory University Hospital in Atlanta for tests upon his return, the company said.
Mr. Goizueta is expected to receive radiation treatment that will continue for a few weeks.
He was named chief executive of the company in 1981, and under his leadership the stock market value of Coke has increased to more than $146 billion from $5 billion. Mr. Goizueta, known as a mild-mannered yet demanding executive, has smoked cigarettes for years.
The announcement was made after United States trading in Coke's stock had ended. The shares of Coke lost 75 cents today to close at $59.125.
Mr. Goizueta's illness is expected to have little impact on Coke's business, analysts said. Coke said the illness was not serious enough to name the president and chief operating officer, Douglas Ivester, to interim chief executive.

Russia And China Dinged In U.S. Human Trafficking Report
The State Department issued its annual report on Human Trafficking on Wednesday and some key countries, including Russia and China, are getting downgraded. The report says that more countries were downgraded than upgraded this year and that's because of corruption and the lack of political will to confront entrenched forced labor interests, including shrimping in Thailand, palm oil in Malaysia and construction in Russia, which will be hosting the Olympics in 2014.

Russia, China and Uzbekistan are among the countries that the U.S. says are not doing enough to combat modern-day slavery. That was one of the many findings in the State Department's annual human trafficking report released this afternoon.
NPR's Michele Kelemen tells us more.
MICHELE KELEMEN, BYLINE: Luis CdeBaca runs the State Department's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons.
LUIS CDEBACA: Globally, we're seeing more victims being identified than ever before. We're seeing more prosecutions than before. But at the same time, we're seeing some countries that are getting ahead and some countries that are maybe a little bit adrift.
KELEMEN: He points to Russia, which is poised to host the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. CdeBaca is paying particular attention to sex trafficking and the status of Central Asian migrant workers building facilities for the games.
CDEBACA: We are encouraged by the fact that they recently arrested the sex trafficking ring in Sochi, but we want to make sure that it's not simply the focus on sex trafficking around the Olympic Games but also labor trafficking in the run-up to the construction.
KELEMEN: Anti-trafficking activists, including David Abramowitz, were pleased to see Russia named and shamed in this year's report.
DAVID ABRAMOWITZ: We could have U.S. athletes staying in buildings that were built with exploited or slave labor. That's really unacceptable.
KELEMEN: Abramowitz, who runs the Alliance to End Slavery and Trafficking, calls the annual State Department report a useful diplomatic tool, even if it doesn't always lead to cuts in aid.
ABRAMOWITZ: While Russia is not a recipient of U.S. foreign assistance, the fact that the State Department is declaring that it is not making significant efforts to combat human trafficking and modern-day slavery will be a blow to its record and its prestige, and I think that countries care about that.
KELEMEN: He says countries long on the watch list, like Malaysia and Thailand, should take note. The State Department also wants the report to hit home with Americans, as Luis CdeBaca explains.
CDEBACA: This year's report looks at things like the fishing industry and actually raises a question that I think all of us should be asking, which is: How much of my life is impacting modern-day slavery? Do I know where the shrimp is being caught or processed that is on my plate? Do I know where the cotton is coming from that's on my clothes?
KELEMEN: Trafficking in persons touches Americans in other ways. Among the nine activists that the State Department is honoring this year is a Croatian police investigator Katrin Gluic, who has rescued women from forced prostitution and recalls one Friday afternoon last year when she heard an American needed help.
KATRIN GLUIC: I saw her. She was really scared. She met somebody through Facebook. So at that point, she thought that she was going to do some other business.
KELEMEN: When the woman, in her 30s, realized she was being lured into a prostitution ring, she fought back, according to Gluic.
GLUIC: She said no. At the right time, she escaped. She fight with this person, and we were able to get her help. And she was back home in a couple of days.
KELEMEN: This story and other issues outlined in the human trafficking report come at an awkward time for the State Department. It's been trying to fend off allegations that it covered up some investigations of its own employees engaging with prostitutes. CdeBaca says no institution is immune.
CDEBACA: There's a zero-tolerance policy for abuse, whether it's of a domestic servant or someone in commercial sex. If we're going to be talking to the rest of the world about what they need to do to to make sure that they're not contributing to the problem of modern slavery, that starts right here at home.

The city of Lancaster is moving forward on annexing land that a major grocery store is eyeing for its first Lancaster County location.
City Council unanimously approved first reading of an ordinance last week to annex land east of Bojangles' at the intersection of Old Charlotte Road and North Park Drive.
