    Are you eff'ing kidding me?! Where's the funny part? I was waiting for the part where he gets his *kitten* kicked. Here's the funny part: when you lift weights you cause his weenie to shrink. Seriously, and he just couldn't handle it. I'm sorry that happened to you, he sounds like an abusive *kitten*. Take pride in knowing that you intimidated him somehow and keep on keeping on.

    ^^THIS! You are a strong, confident and beautiful woman. Some men are intimitated by that and feel like they need to try to hold you down. Keep up the good work and know that you have nothing to be ashamed of. And HUGS!! to you for having to put up with that craziness!

    that was not a funny experience - that was terrible! am glad you reported it.

    The guy was a complete *kitten*. the others coming to your defence proves it. You are strong and beautiful and that is what made him feel small.

    I would have cried all the way home too....because I cry when I get REALLY ANGRY! ( I hate that!!! counterproductive!!!) You were entitled to be angry. I'm glad you called the gym about it, he deserves to be kicked out on his useless butt, right after a stern talking to by the management.

    I echo the sentiment of everyone else on here who has responded. That guy was a total jerkwad. Glad to see there are some gentlemen in this world who will step in and look out for you. He deserves to be banned from every gym in town for his unexcusable behavior. Wow.
    I mean, seriously? Makes you wonder WTF is wrong with someone like that????

    Scary situation--not funny in the least. I would have cried, too. With people like that, my only thought is that I can fix my fat body, but once a fat head always a fat head. He was truly intimidated by you! You are to be commended on your new mental attitude and progress. I shudder to think what could have happened if those other men hadn't been there to help. OMG!!!

    And when I arrived home still crying, my 6'4" Scorpio husband with the ferocious temper and intolerance for that kind of behavior toward women would be my main concern. He'd be looking for that @$***** to teach him a big lesson.

    Honestly it IS funny. How sad a life can one have to need to do that? I'm so much better then he will ever be.

    So true. You made some smart decisions that night: reporting the incident, not antagonizing the offender even more, not going to your boyfriend's right after lol, not letting his problem/attitude become yours, and not changing your workout/diet strategy because of him. Keep up the good work and keep us posted.

    HE was just pissed because you could lift more than him! LOL!

    Don't let it get you discouraged. He's probably a VERY lonely man.

    If it were me I probably would have punched him in the face. Then probably cried later because of his idiocy.

    Couldn't have said it better myself!

    Tell him that you are working on your body and you will lose the weight, but he will be an *kitten* forever!

    Insecure a**holes are never a lot of fun. His real problem was that you were doing some serious, kick-but work and will be in fantabulous shape long before he quits (while blaming everyone but himself) and fails. Hopefully the gym is smart and bans him and revokes his membership. Honestly he sounds like he could be a problem.

    I love that, well said.

    There are so many "Experts" at the health clubs these days that I almost can't stand going. Sometimes you get good advice and sometimes these idiots should just shut the F@#$ up. To avoid this I would go early in the morning. The muscle heads there at that time are usually too focused to care what you do and the jerk offs can't get up that early.

    Stay focused and you will lose the weight.

    WTF?! Why would anyone say anything negative about anyone at the gym? Yell at the people at home on the couch instead!

    Good for you - you keep doing your thing and don't worry about dumb-butt Elliptical guy. You're awesome and you know you're making great progress!!

    OMG that is horrible! Nothing funny about it whatsoever! I really hope you're ok and don't let it put you off in the future.

    Sounds like the guy was just an *kitten* that was jealous because he couldn't manage what you did.

    Just so you know, overweight men get ridiculed for lifting weights too, so I know how you feel. The unfortunate thing is that you can't grab them by the throat with one hand, ring them out straight with the other, then drive them into the dirt feet first up to their chin like a railroad spike without getting into some trouble. Use the anger and frustration in your workout, but don't let it stop you.

    I got the same "dumb B****" comment from a muscle head at my gym. Apparently girls can't lift weights incase there is an insecure man around.
    Whenever I see him he acts like a 2 year old throwing weights around an making a bunch of noise. Makes me super uncomfortable and self conscious, but I still go. Sometimes I sit in my car for a few mins to give myself a pep talk.

    Did you tell your gym about this? If they cant control him- then he needs to go or you get out of your contract for free. Sorry you have to deal with that asshattery.

    I'm too furious for words!!!! If he didnt like it why couldnt he keep it to himself?! And how does it make him look a fool?! Keep going and doing what you're doing even more so. Wish something like that would happen in my gym just so I can give those types a piece of my mind. WHAT IS HIS PROBLEM?? Seriously.

    and you didn't punch him in the face? What a clown, he has some anger management issues and is badly in need of an attitude adjustment.

    He's probably self-conscious about the fact that his pecker is as small as his brain.
