So, last night at Zumba i joined a weight loss challenge. It starts July18-Aug22. $20.00 fee to join and winner gets the pot. When i get home i tell my girlfriend about it, and she says that I should have just taken that $20 and thrown it in the trash cause i am not going to win. (she knows that i have a hard time losing weight due to medical reasons, but still...) Grrrr that just makes me want to do it more!

    Don't let her negativity push you away, but closer to your goal. Good luck. YOU CAN DO IT!

    Girl, you take that crap and run with it! People telling me I can't do something is my biggest motivation. Just make me want to stick it to them and show them I can do it :)

    Good luck to you! :)

    I challenge you to prove her wrong. ☼ When people do that to me, I rise to the challenge. Your mfp friends believe in you and will cheer you on. I was so excited that I have reached the 310 consecutive days, so I told my boyfriend and instead of being proud of me, he said... yeah, but have you lost anything lately. I've lost 55 pounds, but I've been on a plateau forever. He burst my bubble and put me into a tailspin last nite. I had really scary dreams after that, and this morning there are left over emotions. Then I read on here, one of my friends has been in a funk, but she has decided today is going to be a happy day. I decided to follow suit. It will be an effort, but I CAN have a happy day.

    WOW I can not stand people that are so negative. My mindset has always been you can do whatever you set your mind to. She may be just trying to bring you down, not that she does not care for you, but sometimes people become envious and they do not want to see others succeed.
    SOOO in actuality she is the one with loser mindset and can't stand to see others win.
    Just do you, keep trucking.
    And next time do not tell her your plans, cause she will most likely put them down. Or you can talk to her and tell her how she made you feel. If she does not care then do not ever share your plans with, unless you want to be shut down

    Good luck on The Zumba challenge, I am rooting for you.:drinker:

    You so got this!! Do you want it bad enough? Isn't this why you are here? Get mean, get lean. Kick it's *kitten*!!

    By making the attempt you are better off. :flowerforyou:

    People like to put others down so that they don't have to look at their own inadequacies... keep that in mind while you are proving her wrong!!!!!
