After 65 lb weight loss.. NOW being called fat?

I'm sorry you had these experiences. It's a harsh world, and some people are *kitten*. There's nothing you can do about them. Believe it or not, if someone wants to tear you down, they're going to find a reason even if you're model-thin and a perfect ten. Just remind yourself that people like that are probably pretty miserable living in their own skin.

You're doing great. Get back on track and back to feeling good.

I dont know what to do... I feel like its pointless to continue.

Look at your pictures again. Does it really feel pointless to continue? You are doing wonderful things for your health, not just your appearance. Those girls at the gym, will always have negative attitudes, you won't always have the bigger body you are in. Why? Because you are working your *kitten* off (literally) to get in the best shape you can be in. For your confidence and for your health.

It's hard to let it go, but hold on to those negative thoughts and you will eventually agree. Don't let people do that to you. Chin up, get back to moving. A 65lb loss is an incredible achievement, don't let anyone else make you think otherwise.

DON'T QUIT! I was in Costco one day and a fat lady asked when my baby was due! I was pissed! I found this site that same day.....:explode:

People can be mean....I know it is easier said than done, but try and stay focused on the progress that you have made. You look amazing and have come so far. Don't allow mean people to get in the way of what makes you feel good and your goals.

I cannot even articulate how awful these stories make me feel.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't give up. You go back to the gym and work hard. You buy yourself a damn bathing suit.
Feel proud of who you are and what you have accomplished, because you are a strong woman.

Girl, you can't let those B!$%hes control you. There is ALWAYS going to be someone around to knock you down if you let them. You should just say, 'well, that is offensive and I did it by working hard and building up endurance. And I feel great!" Keep your head up sweetie, I know its hard.

Oh girl, you have come too far to let the haters distract or deter you from your goal. You are "Amazing! " Unfortunately, those little girls at the gym were ignorant. Dust yourself off head back to the gym & be the best you can be.

Wow.......just goes to show some girls are threatened by your beauty and motivation. Keep up the great work. You look amazing. Obviously they are intimidated by you and lack security within themselves.

You said yourself you are kicking *kitten* and loving it. Please don't let a couple birdbrains who obviously have no common sense make you question what you are doing. You look amazing and you know how much better you feel when losing weight, please don't let them stop you. My daughter could get a thousand compliments and then one derogatory remark and the only one she would remember is the negative remark. Why people do what they do is beyond me. Hold your head high and go in and do what you love! You will run up against a-holes all your life, but you cannot let them deter you from your life and your goals. Get back in there, do what you love and completely ignore the ignorant.

First of all you look brill and you should be proud that you took it upon yourself to make a change and got so far! The fact that the girls were supposed to be going gym to workout but instead chose to concentrate on someone else says it all ... looking at other peoples flaws so they don't have to concentrate on there own ... you chose to just walk away, you were obviously brought up better than them! Please don't give up because what of these peoplle said ... I. Doubt they have given any of these comments a second thought since saying them so don't let them change who you are and what you want to achieve! The fact you lost so much proves you can do this!! Set a little goal at a time n reach for it. I'd work myarse off ... go back to that gym, hunt the girls down walk right up to them n say fuk you, I've lost weight but can guarantee your still a silly little *****, If you want something to laugh at there's a mirror in that direction ....now hop along!! Haha:-)

Haters be hatin'. Ok, but seriously...when people say mean hurtful things it's usually THEIR issues. Those gals (or at least the alpha) has some serious self-hate issues. Have you ever met someone that has to step on you to lift themselves up? Classic case here.

I feel for you - but I hope you shrug it off and get back into it.

I'm just curious what have you done since your original post...Have you continued your diet and exercise?
second, I just want to say that I lost 51 lb in about 8 months, now I have 112 lb and I am 5,28 feet tall. Now some people call me anorexic and too skinny...which is simply not true,isn't it?
So don't mind what people say,do whatever makes you feel ok.

I say, report those girls to the gym management, say you are being harassed by them.
You can also just listen to your headphones and ignore all ignorant ppl and haters.

Keep going!! You're doing sooo great! It's just a bump on the road, keep going!!!!

I'm sorry that happened to you. People can be horrible. But you can be better than that.

You may be interested in looking up Tony "The Anti-Jared" Posnanski. He used to be over 400 pounds and has successfully kept off over 200 pounds for 4 years. This is what he wrote about judgement at the gym:



“Hey man…you cannot wear that skullcap here.”
That was what the manager told me at the first gym I went to. I was confused. I mean, it is an Under Armour skullcap. It was the coolest thing in the world. It made me look like I belonged at the gym.
I was 370 pounds at the time. I lost 50 pounds and belonged to my first gym for a month. I promised myself that when I lost 50 pounds I would wear some sort of Under Armour gear because it symbolized strength in my eyes.
You might have heard of the gym…they do not charge much each month and accept everyone. I looked up on their wall, and it did indeed say no skullcaps. It was part of their “Judgment Free Zone.”
So where was the “Judgment Free Zone” when the manager rolled his eyes at me when I walked in for the first time? A 400 pound guy who could not tie his shoes. A guy who wanted to ask questions about the equipment, but after seeing the eye rolling realized he did not belong.
Where was the “Judgment Free Zone” when the two girls laughed at me when I could not fit on the bench press? When I could not get my balance? Were they going there to see a guy lose 200 pounds?
Where was the “Judgment Free Zone” when I could was on the treadmill for only 48 seconds? When I saw the guy next to me mouth to his friend, “Is that it?” Did they see a weak, obese man?
Where was the “Judgment Free Zone” when I left the gym for the first time in tears? Hating my workout. Thinking that no one was there to help me. Not wanting to go back.
I drove around after my first workout and I decided to judge myself. Knowing that I am strong. Knowing that I can do this. For me.
So when the manager told me I could not wear the skullcap anymore, I told him that it was my last day at the gym. I’d been judged enough.
Today, I worked out at my Anytime Fitness. It was 4 a.m., I was bench pressing and doing some cardio.
I wore my skullcap, like I have every workout since 2008. No one was around at the time.
I wish they were….I wanted to be judged.
