    If I lost 6lbs in a week I would be the happiest person in the world the most I have lost is 2.5lbs, your friend obviously hasnt really had to try and lose weight. Be proud of what you did, that is a lot. so what if she doesnt notice it, I am sure other people do. Also, it honestly kind of sounds like she is jealous and trying to bring you down. Do not bother telling that person again how much you have lost just do you and what you have to do. In time they will realize. I would take it more as a motivation thing to prove her wrong in a way.

    Congrats on the loss! : )

    Parade sh!tters. They're everywhere. Ask her right back how much she's lost and if she looks at you crazy, you succeeded.

    P.S. I can lose only 5lbs and make it look like I lost 20.

    That is sad that your friend could not be more supportive! 6 lbs is awesome! You should be proud of yourself,and just use that as more ammo to continue doing what you are doing. I know that is easier said than done,but try not to let those nasty stupid hurtful comments get to you.

    Solution?

    Not be friends with the stupid cow - be happy with any weight loss cause it is one step closer to your goal
  • 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?

    6lb is a lot, almost half a stone, thats excellent, maybe she said it being sarcastic meaning thats a lot, either way Id use it as amunition to keep at it, and when you're at your target m sure no-one will say a ****y bird
  • i don't think i will be keeping that "friend" updated anymore. i can do without the negative comments. any loss is a loss! :-)
  • This "friend" is jealous. Don't say anything else to him/her and let him/her just watch you get fitter and healthier over time. Then you can have the last laugh.


    I agree with this wholeheartedly!!
    Just do your thing and don't let the "negative nellies" of the world get you down, trust me there are TONS out there.......congrats on the HUGE loss!!

    First of all the Biggest Loser show is fake, I don't mean it in the way some might think but think about it like this how many overweight people do you see all of a sudden runnign down a beach for 3+ miles or exercising on a treadmill for 8+ miles in one shot. You don't these people have been doing this for awhile before the show is even taped. Plus these people who lose a large amount of weight week for week are very heavy people and heavy people tend to lose alot of weight fast at first. I think your friend isn't much of a friend to say something so mean to you. 6lbs is a good amount you should be proud don't let negtive minded people take you down if you do that then just think in 6 months you will be even more unhappy because of what some said to you because in 6months you would not only be thinking of what your friend said but you will be thinking if only I kept at my weight loss how much weight would I have lost and that is even worse then what soemone said to you.

    your 'friend' is an ignorant *kitten*! 1 -2 lbs per week is a good loss. 6lbs is phenominal!! Move a way from people like that, they are called 'haters'!

    Be proud, you're doing fantastic! :bigsmile:

    Your friend is an as$hole!

    2.6kilos is HUGE in the "real world". Biggest Loser is NOT the real word! Congratulations. You should be so proud of yourself.

    I bet that if your friend was on biggest loser they would be one of the contestants that cry and whinge and make me want to poke myself in the eye with a fork!

    ^^^ This!

    That person must be so used to watching 1 hour shows that actually show a journey of 6 months, but it looks a lot shorter because it's edited down to a clip show. Tv has warped their view of how life actually works. It's worth checking out Charlie Brooker to show how tv really works, and he's hilarious - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59OJ17raqWw
  • WHAT!!!!!! Im blown away... who in there right mind would have the BALLS to say that!!! 6 pounds is a great lost , AND to compare to the biggest loser is even more crazy those ppl are away from their families training allllll day focus on just that , we are doing this at home with our day to days lives running us up a wall , that friend of yours new to be DELET!!!! right away... We are on this site as a weight lost tool to gain support of others not the opposite!!! sorry you had to go through that!!!

    The Biggest Loser is SO UNHEALTHY!!! Don't get demotivated because you're not in the gym 8 hours a day and sticking to a 1,000 calorie diet! Also, unless you're MAJORLY overweight (like 300-400+ lbs) you're not going to lose 20 lbs a week!!

    Tell your friend to kiss you gonna-be-tight *kitten*!

    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"


    This sounds like a friend *I* would not be friends with anymore.

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

    Yes, beware of this "friend". They may be showing you their colors and something you need to let go of during your weight loss.

    I WISH I could lose 6lbs in a week! Heck, if I lose 6lbs in a month I'm doing good. That's awesome! Keep up the good work! Cheers!:drinker:
  • Awesome job. Let the friend know that any weight loss is a great job. Whether it is .6, 6lbs or 16lbs you are a healthier person because of your own efforts. Congrats on your WHOPPING 6lbs (Go get her a 5lb sack of potatoes and tell her this is what you loss. It might put it in perspective)

    I think this has been said earlier but I would keep the details of your weight loss quiet. Maybe to a select few who TRULY care about you and who are supportive. In our society, people think its fine to share everything to everyone and that simply is not healthy. You are doing this for YOURSELF and THAT is what's important. You are not required to volunteer any information to anyone about this. Also, negative comments like this nearly always come from ignorance or downright jealousy. Who needs that?

    She does not sound like a friend to me. Drop her and move on, she's probably jealous! You go girl! Rock on with your workout and keep loosing!
