"is that all"

Wow! That is so terrible! 6lbs is a lot! That is like 6 bricks of butter! I would not tell this person anything, and next time i see them I would be tempted to say "man, you are looking a little heavy... missed working out this week?"

People are a**holes. Ignore them and keeping fighting to lose more weight.
Seriously, if that is the only thing they can say, they obviously have bigger issues in their own life. Be happy you aren't a miserable person like them.

And for the record, 6lbs is AMAZING. Good for you!

You're doing great. Slower weight loss, while sometimes frustrating, is generally healthier for you. Don't get discouraged because other people don't understand how real weight loss happens.

fiberartist21 couldn't have said it any better! Unless you're upwards of 300+ lbs AND are going through the extensive life change/exercise plan's the biggest looser people are on, you're simply not going to loose it that quickly. You be PROUD of that 6 pounds and keep on going! You're doing awesome...it's really hard to loose weight in our busy lives. Even a single pound is a lot of work some weeks. Besides, it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks of you. What YOU think of you is the only thing that matters. You can't measure yourself by someone else's standards. Have you set a goal? Are you working toward that goal? Are you getting there, weather slower or quicker than you had hoped? If you can say yes to even just ONE of these questions you should be proud of yourself. If you believe in yourself, other will too, and the ones who don't just feel bad about themselves and hate your confidence. Good luck and keep it up!

your fiend sounds like a cow

I say they aren't really a true friend. To me it sounds more of a jeliously thing then it does a freind thing.

what??? 6lb is AMAZING! don't let what she said get to you, because a loss is a loss, and 6lb is fantastic! sometimes people don't really understand the processes other people go through, so just carry on with what you're doing, because you're doing great .

6 pounds in a week is FANTASTIC! If your friend doesn't think so than s/he can try it.

What isn't seen on those shows is that most people gain it back after the show due to the reality of life, because they haven't had to think about it much throughout the show.

This is why I choose to keep my journey fairly private. Haters gonna hate.

yeah i said that "on biggest loser they have trainers and their meals are allplanned out for them pretty much im doing this on my own! they dont have temptations facing them at every turn they are basically in isolation like a fat camp.." my friend just said "whatever you still look the same weight to me"

Sounds like you might need to have a chat with your friend about how unsupportive and non-friend like that is to say.

And here is a six-pound fish. You lost this! Show that to your friend next time. Or simply ignore them and know that you're doing an awesome job!! Keep it up!

lol, poor misguided friend. you're gonna be REALLY depressed when you start losing 1-2pounds a week. BL results ARE NOT typical and that is a t.v. show, and time lines are skewed.

Not sure where to post this so i thought i would put it here.

when i went to weigh in this week i lost almost 6lbs (2.6kg) and i was really proud and happy, i told all my friends and family who have been supporting me while i embark on my weight loss journey but one friend said "is that all" "on the biggest loser they lose way more than that!" it really demotivated me

has anyone else had this happen to them?

Yeah well, if you could put your life on hold for a few months and live in an extremely supportive, controlled environment then maybe, just maybe you could have lost more, but even those people have weeks at 1 lbs or even gain!

6 lbs is absolutely incredible. I would be jumping up and down and screaming for my husband to come look at the scale to make sure it wasn't wrong!! LOL
