I usually refer to myself as fat. However I wouldn't use that term to reference another person. I usually stick with terms like plus sizer, bigger, or fluffy.

nice!

Absolutely incredible! Thank you for sharing your transformation!

Incredible! What an amazing transformation. Thank you for sharing your story, it's very inspirational!

She is gorgeous! I love that MAC pushes the boundaries of what is typically considered beautiful. They are an innovative and amazing company.

This is so inspiring, thank you for sharing with us!

That's awesome and such a great feeling!

To each their own, I don't see anything wrong with anyone wearing makeup to workout if it makes them comfortable. I don't because I sweat profusely and I'd end up breaking out. Mostly I don't much worry about what people think my face looks like at the gym.

This sounds amazing!

To everyone who has said that they were not talking about me, yes that is quite possible and I DO realize this. I did ignore them in this case. I was simply seeking advice as to what someone else would have done had they been in my situation. I don't feel like me complaining to a gym manager would make me a "tattle tale."…

Nice body, great smile

Hi, I'm 24 years old, feel free to add me!

I appreciate all the positive comments and response I got to this. I'm certainly not scared to go back to the gym, I've been doing my regular work outs as usual and working with my trainer. There won't be any boys in my future since I have a serious girlfriend but thank you for the positive reinforcement! I've never had…

Mine is was taken mid November of 2012, so about a month and a half.

An hour of strength training with my trainer and the 30 minutes of cardio on the treadmill

I guess it didn't occur to me at the time that I should have said something to someone right away. I was more focused on getting my workout completed. I'd never let that stop me from continuing to improve on my health and fitness goals. I still did my cardio after my session with my trainer because I didn't feel like "oh I…

North Carolina here!

These sound great! Can't wait to try the recipe.

I appreciate all the positive comments, thanks everyone! I'll make sure to say something tomorrow when I go in for my workout. I paid for a year membership at the gym I'm currently at and it's a nice gym, most of the people there are very friendly and I've never been uncomfortable prior to this. The only female only gym in…

Thank you all for your input. You know it didn't even occur to me that my trainer probably should have said something because he does work for the gym and I think he noticed it also. I'm gonna ask him the next time I see him to confirm this.

That's true, it's possible that they weren't directed at me. But I'm pretty sure they were in this case. I guess regardless if they were or weren't comments meant for me all I can do is try to not let it get to me.

Good point, I purchased a year membership so you're right I'm paying money I should be able to workout without harassment . If it happens again I'll speak with the manager.

Okay so I cheated and looked at your profile because you said the picture wasn't you. So 177

So sorry to hear that happened to you. I can completely sympathize with that situation. I was leaving the grocery store a few weeks ago and some guy yelled out fata** to me like three times across a row of cars. I also recently encountered a situation at the gym when I was working with my trainer where some teenage boys…

Before I started working out and joined a gym my father told me that if I didn't lose weight I was just going to get so fat that I would explode and they would have to shovel my guts out of my bedroom. I kid you not, I can't tell you how horrible I felt after that. My dad is really in shape and not that that excuses his…
