Others upset by my progress...

It all comes from their insecurity. I mean, if someone gets a promotion that's deserved, do you tear them down? No! It's usually those who fail to do it themselves that get upset when someone else succeeds.
I will admit, it used to drive me crazy to see people stop drinking soda and drop 50 pounds when I have been struggling for several months just to make it to where I am. But I never tear them down. I say great for them. I know my frustration does not ly with the person making it. It lies with me.0 -
I don't know why people have to be haters. Why can't they respect someones efferts and encourage their success. You know your able to reach your goal and your the only one that can achieve it. So let the haters hate your success and you just laugh at them every time you lose another pound. CONGRADULATIONS and keep losing.0

You'll be surprised at who your real friends are when you stop doing the idiocy that they are still inspired by. I had a "friend" ask me how much weight I've lost when I replied 6 lbs she told me I could really tell in your face.....seriously? Same friend today says that wow those pants used to be really tight. I looked @ her & laughed. Dont let haters steal your joy. This is about you and not them!!!0

Dont let them tear you down just because you have decided to do something positive and healthy!!! If you want to loose the weight its up to you...If they want to stay unfit and risk their health its up to them!
They're just talking absolute s**t out of their bottoms as they are GREEN with envy!!!
You keep doing what you're doing with pride and dont listen to foolish muppets!!!
Good luck!!!0 -
Obviously their reaction is a reflection on their own struggles and insecurities, don't sweat it! Just keep doing what you're doing and pay people like that no mind.

Forget what others are saying and remember this:
What other people think of you is NONE of your business. YOU know the truth and THAT is all that matters.
Don't let those people take up space in your head without paying you any rent !!
Excellent that you have decided to change your life and too bad that they haven't, yet.0 -
Keep doing what you do. Whatever works for you. We can't always worry what other people think, appparently their esteem problems are getting the best of them. I have a friend like that, says I'm always bragging about my lost weight, but really she's swallowing in her defeat and esteem problems just trying to find other reasons to give up and not do what she needs to do. I will pray for those people because they need help. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK !!!!0

Don't bother. I can't stand negative people. Be happy with what you accomplished and keep going. People will always be haters.
Quoting a wise man - "If you have one person hating on you right now then you need to figure out how to get to five by christmas!"0 -
ditch the b*tch! You're doing great, and working your tail off!! Keep it up!0

1. Stay FAR AWAY from this person!!! DISTANCE! Never talk to her about weight loss again, wow she is the epitome of the word BACKSTABBER!
2. Great job on your weight loss!!!0 -
Jealousy is a terrible emotion and sadly many suffer from it .. you`ve taken control , they haven`t.
This problem is theirs not yours so please don`t stress over it, be proud of yourself x
Yes...yes...yes...and yessss! I completely agree!0 -
I know I gave my initial comment quickly and with a bit of prejudice and that is how I feel. BUT I am very sorry about not saying this first: Congratulations on your accomplishment! Please keep up the wonderful work, and ignore the a$$hats!!!0

I love this line - it has taken me 48 long years to realize I do not have to answer any ones questions - I was just asked "So what exactly are you doing?" and I responded with a comment about the snow haha should have seen the look on her face then.
I think she got it that its not only none of her business but that I no longer hold my self accountable to any one but ME!0 -
Haters gotta hate. It sounds like someone KNOWS that they are fat and can't stand when someone else is losing weight when they aren't. Don't let someone like that bring you down. If they don't want to make the change, fine. Just smile and think of the day when you'll be the skinny friend. : )0

It's amazing. I have told so many people about MFP and the ones that could benefit from it the most have a long list of excuses of not wanting to give it a try. It's really amazing!
This program is for YOU! It's very difficult sometimes to understand and accept the fact that you are worth it! Keep going. You are doing great!0
