What's with people? Amazing. Doubt they meant anything, just mindless chatter. I doubt they even thought it might sound (like it it does to me) like jealous carping... Congratulations on following through with the gym - I really have to force myself and lately have considered dumping it but then I slog on. Good for you!!!!! Good grief. What’s with people? Amazing.

Anyway, I chose not to mind them and just concentrate on working hard at the gym - not for their sake but mine. I still have a long way to go and a 4 month deadline! Jen,

A slip up? I would try to think this way and just not dwell too much on it. Not worth it. Keep your goal in sight and long for the day when "they eat their words" so to speak!

Are these friends of yours or just acquaintances? The fact is, these folks did notice something different about you, and not knowing exactly what, probably said the usual (most people DO gain weight); not very perceptive people. I'm so sorry you had to deal with this. Unbelievable!! Are these friends of yours or just acquaintances?

Your revenge will be when you lose enough more weight that they become envious. Maybe they already ARE envious and that that was their reason to say those rude things - to boost their own egos.

I don't know who they think they are to say something like that. Not proper. I would replay with "you must have bad memory. I have actually lost weight" Man that is RUDE!!!!

I think weight is a very sensitive issue and should not be pointed out to a person, especially in public. The thing is, people in my work place only say two things and it's all about weight. They will tell you, hey you lost weight or you gained. Oh well! Yes, they are rude. I think weight is a very sensitive issue and should not be pointed out to a person, especially in public.
