I had several messages from haters today about my weight loss these last 8 months. I was asked if I starved myself or what pills I used to lose weight. I used hardwork and proper nutrition thats all I did - really! :)

Everyone has to believe that losing weight can be fun if you use a great support team like we have here in Myfitnesspal. Additionally you must use a program you love doing!

Add me if I can help you lose weight or motivate/support your fitness goals!

Let the haters talk because they motivate me!! :)

    Sherman - Sorry to hear about getting such negative messages from people. I guess that is just the way it is. Congrats on your successful journey to date. I agree with you that losing weight for me has been pretty straight-forward since joining MFP. Proper diet (e.g., eat no more than my daily target allows) and exercise to both shed additional lbs and get in better shape.

    Some people don't want to take the time to educate themselves on nutrition or do the hard work it takes to make a difference. They make up excuses why they cant lose fat or bulk up. They diet for 2 days and quit because they didn't lose 10lbs. It's just jealousy. You've done what they don't have the courage or ambition to do. Congratulations on your success!! :drinker:

    Well, that's kind of rude.

    Just ignore them... they're either jealous or ignorant (or both).

    I think you look great! Keep it up! :)

    Wow you have done an awesome job, ignore the haters and be proud!!!!!

    I still have a long ways to go but as I have been losing between 2-5 lbs a week I keep getting negative comments...I don't know what they expect, seriously... I've gone from eating utter junk and sitting on my butt most of the time to eating clean and moving and moving and moving!!!

    I feel you, I had to put on my profile that I don't have any secrets to weight loss! What you see in my food and exercise diary is what I'm doing!

    I think some people just don't want to believe that in order to lose weight they have to learn to control their diet and exercise. It really is that simple.

    I dont understand why they think its impossible to shed 36 lbs & gain muscle in 8 months. Its not like you did it in 3! Theyre crazy, dont waste your energy even explaining to ignorant haters. Congrats!

    Great job and great quote.

    I'm going to try and post my results since August here this weekend. I wouldn't have guessed anyone would get that kind of reaction. Oh well, it's the internet.

    I saw your success post earlier and noticed how similar it was to mine. I lost 30 pounds in the first 90 days and am now own 42 pounds in in about 155 days having lost 9 inches off my waist. I'm finally starting to hit a plateau but so be it as long as strength gains continue and waist trim contines.

    I'm seeing the doctor next week and hope I get the same result of no longer being in danger of having to take medicine. Hopefully I will be out of all those "borderline" qualifications.

    Keep up the great work.
