I quit!!!

Don't be so hard on yourself. Pick yourself back up and dust yourself off..you know you had a bad week...so next week work harder and laugh in their faces after.....Challenges/Competitions are much more challenging so just push yourself that much harder...remember that YOU are YOUR biggest critic, LET DOWN,FAILURE & SUPPORTER all in one...no one can take anything away from you unless you let them.
I've read in a thread earlier this week that it takes 21 days to get in the groove of everything....once you're over that 21 days its smoothe sailing from there..but again, we all have our days/weeks whatever you wanna call it...it's how you react on it and fix it that counts...
Here's something i got from one of my BB Coaches
"Your RESULTS are 100% related to YOUR effort, not someone else's!!!"

"I am alwasy shocked when i see people quit. Do they not understand quitting to avoid failure is actually just securing failer?"--Carl Daikeler

My last job did the "Biggest Loser" thing and I refused to participate because I suspected the exact same thing would happen to me. My weight fluctuates all the time.

The funny part was, at the time I was doing the old WW Points program and managed to lose 38lbs in 6 months. Everyone else was taking some RX diet pill and while losing faster started having ill effects. The GM even passed out twice, hitting his head on a curb the last time. Everyone quickly got off the stuff and gained all their weight right back.

I didn't start gaining anything until I quit watching myself and unfortunately allowed 20lbs to creep back on over 9 months.

The moral of the story is: do what you have to do to be successful for yourself. Maybe you will need to let the people know how it makes you uncomfortable. If they continue to do it remember this, most people like that don't stick with the program after the competition anyway. So while you will still be on your journey after that ends, they will bloat up like a bunch of mashmallows.

My first post ever...I'm doing the "biggest loser" at work, and Fridays are our weigh in days. I had a bad week and gained a few pounds this week. Whatever...I had not gained before now. but what upset me so much were the guys standing around the scale making stupid comments. "Oh she had to pay?!? (we pay 50 cents per pound gained), and "it's the sweater, maybe she shouldn't have worn the sweater today". I had to walk away from them with one shoe on and one off so as not to cry in front of my co-workers. While I know they were just joking around with me, where is the encouragement? It would never enter my mind to joke about someone because they gained 3 pounds that week. I already feel bad enough for ruining my week with the chocolate chip cookies on Weds. I don't need crap from other people about it. My vent session.

JERKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They should not even be around the weigh in area!!!!

So, I am confused. Did you actually quit the competition? If you didn't just get right back at it and be very diligent this week, you'll be fine. Of course they're not going to encourage you, they all want to win the money. They want you to feel like crap and give up.

the guys at my work deliberately put on over 20lbs around the holidays & carry weights in their pockets just so at the end they can win all the $ in our biggest loser competition.. needless to say I'm not playing the game this year.

Don't listen to them. you have all the support you need right here. The biggest loser doesn't produce the positive environment that it should. It's not healthy mentally. Take care, you are doing awesome!

please dont quit. that would be all your hard work and determination gone down the drain. let them off. men are such idiots. i believe in karma ie. what goes around comes around and when it does you will have the last and best laugh. feel free to add me if you need a new motivation buddy:flowerforyou:

Quiters never win and Winners Never Quit!

Today is a new day. Start this new week with a new outlook and go from there. Cookies on Wednesday did not kill your whole week. Re-evaluate what you ate and go from there. Only you can get yourself down. You are the only one that counts.

Think Positive! You got this!

Guys call that trash-talk.

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

Don't quit due to others stupidity..Its okay that you gained 3 pounds, just work harder this week. Never give a person the satisfaction of you quiting or being mad. let the haters motivate you to do better.

I hope you meant the cookies, just broke up with my girl friend and did a half gallon of Rocky Road, and some other things not on the diet or exercise program and put on a lot more than 3 pounds. I went over my starting weight. Now we know the what we need to do as far as the cookies and Rocky Road. They didn't help,and neither will quiting. Start again, this isn,t a sprint it's a relay race we start again every day. Don't think that they won't trip up or quit. It happens to every one, your not alone. If you are into the competition instead of leaveing them cookies at home leave them in the break room. Even if they resist them while they are there after thinking about them when they get home they might indulge in something else that they have more of. Heh heh heh.(that;s suppose to be laughing)

Yep. Make your lovers proud, and your haters jealous.

They SUCK!!! We've done the biggest loser at my job several times. There is always a designated person (a non participant) who tracks everyone's weight. We had to pay each time we lost to, but everything was done somewhat discretely. Even if we did share our gains/losses, it was all about motivating each other. We all were on the same path...trying to lose weight and it's a struggle for everyone.

Be encouraged! Use their negativity to fuel your fire. Keep going and don't give up! You're doing this for you...not them.

Don't give up, if you do they win! You can do it!

We are doing biggest loser at work to and its very embarrasing to come in and gain weight, but know this it was only that one week and all weeks are going to be different dont beat yourself up about it and WHO CARES what someone else thinks or have to say you have to blocked that out and continue to do the right thin for you. Trust me in the end it will be well worth it and the ones talking now will definetly be talking later cause your gonna look GREAT!!!! GOOD LUCK on your weight loss and continue to move forward and any negative talk or people distance yourself!!
