Totally hide it. I hate people showing off their bodies, talking all the time about fitness, and stuff.0

You're lying. I found a picture of you on your facebook page totally showing off.

I get this. I don't state many accomplishments because I don't have anything to prove other than to myself. That and finding out how many people want to "one up" or feel threatened if you may be better at something.1

I am extremely outspoken about my weight loss and fitness goals for several reasons. I post it on my FB and Instagram. My reasons is 1) it holds me accountable. At my heaviest I was 325, now 220 and my goal is 160. I started posting on social media when I hit the 100 pound Mark. 2) I find I get motivation to keep going. People IM me and ask questions and some have even asked if I would go to the gym with them to help them and encourage them. 3) i am thinking of expanding my business into weight management and because of that, it's important to get my name or there. To me, I do t want to go back to where I was.1

My sister is super fit and everyone is all about my sister so I will always be in her shadow no matter how great I'm doing. Might as well keep my excitement to myself.
Why do you think your boyfriend doesn't like it?
When I used to try to tell him about my workouts or weight loss he would reply with generic answers and quickly change the subject. Or he tells me that I don't need to lose weight. I stopped telling him about it since it didn't seem to matter.
Wow that is not very supportive, I am guessing he doesn't work out? Maybe a bit of guilt if he doesn't? You should be able to share your success with your bf of all people, sorry but I think that is really wrong and I feel bad for you
Her situation is very common.

That is a shame, I guess it is strange for me because my partner is my coach and number 1 supporter, I am lucky in that sense
My boyfriend is extremely fit. He has a very intense job that requires him to be in the best possible shape. He is very proud of himself and so am I. I think maybe he just feels threatened? I feel guilty saying that because he is an amazing person but sometimes I feel like maybe he is jealous that I'm starting to get into shape too..0 -

I don't understand this with eyecandy men. Go for the cut out and cut up shirts....You've worked hard for it...0 -
I tell people and show videos if I see an interest. I still have a lot of fitness goals that I want to reach. I tell them because I am proud of myself and maybe it will help them in a way to get serious about fitness.0
