Having that one friend who is unhappy about your weightloss

I have this one friend who suggested Insanity to me, I finished it and got a great weightloss. When I told her I have plans of doing it again she always tells me "Find another program, there are other harder programs out there" I dont know what her point is, she wants me to steer clear from Insanity lol telling me to go find a "harder" program when my current program is perfectly fine and I know it works.

Do you have friends like this?

    She might just be giving you solid advice. Usually if you want to continue seeing results you have to continue to progress. I have never done insanity so I do not know how it works but if you can't continue to make it harder then it might be worth finding a harder program.

    I don't think she's unhappy for you.... sounds like she's giving advice, i.e. that once you've completed one programme and had good results from it, most people need to progress to a more difficult programme firstly because they find it more challenging and interesting and secondly because you're fitter and stronger now, you probably do need a more challenging programme to see further results. You don't have to if you don't want to, because you'll maintain what you've achieved already if you keep on with the same programme, but it really doesn't sound like she's being negative at all.

    I know we're not hearing the whole story, but I don't see how suggesting a progression in your training is an indication of unhappiness with your weight loss.

    I suggest you just move on and if it comes up again, address it with her.
