    WOW!!! I never imagined I would get this support from my moment of weakness vent session! Thanks everyone - you are all awesome. :) When I said "I quit" I meant I quit weighing at work when I posted it...but now, I think I'll just stick it out. I was mostly mad at myself for starting to cry in front of people and needed to vent. There is nothing that would make me quit trying to live a healthy lifestyle and gain self confidence.

    They may be joking to cover up their embarrasment of course, I too have gained 2lb this week though I have been very good and exercising like mad, so feel a bit deflated

    WOW...I'm amazed and pleased by the response your message has recieved. At my work...we all put in $25.00 a piece and the company also added another $250.00. I keep track of everyone's weight loss and send "group updates" (no individuals mentioned) on how well we are doing. However, it's one person at a time in my office and you can share if you like...but you don't have too. Also, we are paying the top 3 spots so that more people feel motivated. I agree about a non participant keeping track...however I am also participating in my company BL...I just don't weigh in...due to another challenge I'm in.

    Either way...keep up with the peeps on MFP and forget about the trash talkers at work. It sounds like a game to them...and while it is a game (I am great at talking crap when competing at pool or cards), they just don't realize how their actions are affecting you.

    Don't quit...give them a run for their money. Good luck :)

    Dont give up, guys can be jerks. I know, I am one. I'm a firefighter and we have had those biggest loser competions. Guys like to talk smack and sometimes dont know when its gone to far. Your best revenge would be to win. Good luck!

    don't let them get to you, it is a marathon. Not a sprint.

    Blokes joke around with each other like that, they're including you.

    Two options:

    1. Tell them they nearly made you cry, watch them realise they made a huge mistake and see how regretful they are, then put up with them walking on eggshells for the next few years in case they upset you.

    2. Joke right back at them and join in.

    This isn't about them being cruel, it's about your feeling bad about your weight.

    Just shrug it off and carry on. And try and think of a few witty rejoiners. Who cares what you weigh this week or next week, you're here for the long term to look after your health. :smile:

    Guys call that trash-talk.

    Use it as motivation to beat them. You can do it !!

    thats guys for you! :devil: ignore them. just keep going! they are probably just jealous anyway...that you can do this! so what if there are tiny setbacks?
    ps i ate lobster alfredo at red lobster yesterday and now i am afraid to weigh in front of myself :wink: ! think i will wait until i might get some of it worked off!

    Like a previous poster said....use the words those jerks said as motivation. Go kick some *kitten* girl. Water retention wrecks havoc on chicks too, so that may have been part of it. Watch the sodium very closely a few days before weigh in. Good luck...YOU CAN BEAT THOSE JERKS!!
