Today, I was at the gym. I'm 360 lbs and have finally decided it's time to change that. Some girl and her two bitch friends thought it'd be fun to follow me and belittle me at everything I did. When I mentioned it to the staff, they said that they were just "encouraging" me. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was at the gym, when a pretty overweight guy started staring and eventually taunting me. Let me tell you, lines such as "Lay off the cake, fatty!" and "I can see your gut hanging out your ass, for fuck's sake!" don't exactly boost one's self-confidence. FML
Today, I went to the new gym I recently signed up for and started exercising in the men-filled weights room, despite being intimidated by them and the strange looks they were giving me. Workout over, I left the room and saw in front of me a door marked, "Women's weights room." Oh. FML
Today, I felt like going to the gym. I asked my girlfriend if she wanted to come with me. She screamed at me for supposedly implying that she's fat. No, I just wanted to go to the gym with someone. FML
Today, I was at the gym running with intensity on the treadmill. As I was working out, I noticed a few guys behind me staring at me. I figured they were checking me out because I was losing some weight and looking better. Turns out they were betting on how much longer "Fat Ass" could last. FML
Today, I went with my girlfriend to the gym for the first time. I knew I was in bad shape, but I bet her that I could lift more than her. Not only did I get my ass handed to me by a 5', 115lbs girl in front of the entire gym, I also have to attend Zumba in bright pink spandex. FML
Today, I went to the gym. I tried out a new machine where you do one-arm weightlifting. I took my time to get into a good position, then set the machine to the lowest weight possible. I couldn't even lift it an inch. A bunch of buff guys nearby saw me and burst out laughing. FML
Today, I was working out at the gym. A very attractive girl was watching me work out, so feeling like a stud, I tried to lift a really heavy weight. I failed, got trapped, and watched helplessly as she walked away laughing. FML
Today, I was in the gym when I noticed three trainers who worked there staring at me. Thinking that they were checking me out, i turned the speed on the treadmill higher. Finally one of the trainers came over, and asked me to leave until I got a sports bra that actually worked. FML
Today, I was at the gym with my friends when they invited me to do a few bench presses. Since I'd never done any before, I decided to start with no weights on the bar and work my way up from there. I wound up pinned beneath the bar, calling for my friend to come free me. FML
Today, I went to the gym. This really fat and gross guy got on the machine next to men and I figured he'd hit on me but he didn't even look at me the whole class. Now my self-esteem is in the gutter. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

They have problems that hitting the gym won't fix. Hang in there, OP.

Don't worry about them. Keep doing your stuff and it will pay off, I promise :) ! I use to hate to go to the gym because I was too out of shape and I felt like people would judge me, but guess what? Those who actually train hard won't notice you because they are too focus on their own training. Those who have the time to make fun of you aren't working hard anough and you will soon be better than them :) !

Great for you heading to gym and working on being healthy! You can lose weight but nothing can fix the ugly those girls got going on inside themselves!!!!! Don't let them bother you at all! It took a lot of guts to go in there and it's not easy but you got this!!!!!

Pretty sure there's a harassment lawsuit in there somewhere. As well as complaining to that particular Gym for allowing the bullshit. Most people only understand money. Make it hurt.

Way to go buddy you get going to the gym and leave the mindless soulless hand-me-downs to their pathetic lives. It's all about you making yourself better and let me tell you there is no gym in the world for the problems that those bitches got.

That sucks OP, but don't let them get to you! They're terrible people, both at the gym and outside of it, I'm sure, and whatever they think of you doesn't matter. I think it's awesome that you're trying to get healthy!! Best of luck! And if that's how the gym staff handles nasty members, maybe try a different gym.

Wow, how disgusting of them! I'm sorry, OP, no one deserves that. Don't give up. You'll find a comfortable place to work out.

That's complete bullshit!! I CAN NOT stand people like that.. Everyone needs to start somewhere .. If anyone ever makes you feel like that again remember the gym can't fix ugly.. Forget them
