    "Are you going to come to my IT Works! wrap party?"

    "No. You have been selling those things for 6 months now and you're exactly the same size. And stop linking that crap to my Facebook wall!"

    Ahh, that reminds me of all the requests I got from friends trying to get me on Advocare supplements and the 24-day challenge. Is it 24 day or 21 day challenge? I don't know. Who the f cares.

    you always could respond with "Because taking them to the gym with me is frowned upon"...LOL

    Our gym does not have a place for kids to play and their rules state that they cannot use the machines under 12 years old.. soo....

    Not to mention, I get a better work out in without my daughter there aggravating me because she is bored..

    Embarrassingly enough....I got asked by my husband.... "Aren't all the squats going to tone your butt and make it disappear? I love your butt".....it took explaining it multiple times for him to understand to keep a butt and have a nicer one, squats were a good thing. I actually turned to MFP and showed him women who lift threads and some of the great booties. I also showed him Sarah2uk's story. On her profile page MFP had the ads next to her profile picture. He told me to quit buying into things because she obviously was selling something, then clicking on her pics...she has one of a freezer full of ice cream.... he saw that and said....see, she is selling stuff....me: what Ben & Jerry's?

    Luckily for him and my sanity he now understands and has stopped with the stupid comments. The worst is no matter how mad it made me, overall he was trying to be supportive and is now very supportive.


    At the gym, from people that are there a lot but haven't made progress, I get the "what's your secret" and my pet peeve is the guys who don't know me coming up and as they try to grab the 45lb plates from me state " you weren't going to use these, right?" ..every time I wonder if I will ever be strong enough to throw a plate like a frisbe...but instead I just glare and say "uhm, I need those"

    Also Sarah if I got the user name wrong, sorry I always forget the ending and am on my phone. :flowerforyou:

    Edited for wording

    This is not a question, but my mother constantly stresses out about me lifting weights, on account of the fact that it will "make my uterus fall out".

    This literally made me laugh out loud. That is hilarious!

    "How do you keep track of your calories? It's too hard/time-consuming/ boring"

    When they see me working out: "Why do you do that to yourself voluntarily? You're all sweaty and your face is red."
