OP please don't give up with your weight loss because of assholes like that. I used to be in your boat and I still kind of am, stay strong!

Been in the same boat, only with guys... and about 100 lbs less, but thats not the point. Anyways, just shut them up by eventually outlifting the strongest guy there.

Honestly, i dont think they'd do that if they were alone just want their friends to think their funny

Bitch slap for her and her bitch friends!

I like the backhand idea... Make sure you put your full weight behind it. One last time before you get skinny OP.

Hmm.. Probably hitting them with those little dumbbells might help i guess.

Not everyone chooses their weight sometimes it's medical.

Like #3 said, don't give up because of those sad excuses for human beings. If nothing can be done about the girls, you don't have to put up with that crap! Make small lifestyle changes as you are ready for them (having one less portion of food here, making a healthy diet substitution there, drinking more water, going on walks, etc.), and excess fat will drop away. And although you obviously aren't pleased with the extra weight you've been carrying around, I'll bet you have some very impressive musculature because of it, and it's just waiting to be revealed :) Then, if you so chose, you could go back to that gym and ideally make those idiots feel humiliated for discouraging your efforts in the first place... though we all know that such peoples' character flaws prevent them from recognizing when they're in the wrong, most of the time. Good luck on your journey, OP, and stick with it!

@90 Trust me, I know. I am one of those people. I didn't think I would have to specify "as long as you don't have a medical condition preventing you from losing weight". Usually in these types of fmls it is said there is a reason like that for being overweight, and there wasn't in this one.

It is said *IF* there is a reason like that. Also, I didn't refer to it as a problem because I think they have a problem and that's the only possible way they could be overweight. I referred to it as a problem because that's what #3 referred to it as, and I was just doing the same.

Tripartita, I think this is the first serious comment I've ever seen you post...

It's a shame that thin people make fun of fat people, and then when fat people try to exercise and improve their health, those same people laugh at their efforts. And then those SAME people come BACK and blame the person's weight on their lack of effort! It's a vicious cycle.

agree 100% with this
