Don't take it close to heart! There are many shitty people in this world, too many to lose your time noticing them ;)

I know it hurts and it is wrong. You have a wonderful attitude, you will succeed in what you chose to do. But, you are so successful already. I love your posts: they cheer me. I like that: PLOW ON! I WILL!

So true, proud of you for rising above them. So sad that are so close minded,just shows their immaturity. Only we know what our journeys have come from and where we want to go. At least we know what is right and wrong👌. Have a great time with your family.

Don't use your energy and good spirits on losers. Some day you walk into that gym and people will be hey look at her for all the right reasons. Let the emotion morph from anger and disgust to motivation and strength. our minds can be very powerful.

No doubt, the guys who make fun of overweight people at the gym are the FIRST ones to say "all you need to do is exercise more and eat less to lose weight." Yet, look what they do to people who are trying to do just that.

I truly believe you need to hold people accountable for their actions. No need to be confrontational but just maybe a simple statement like "I just overheard what you said and it's really hurtful" majority of time they backpedal and apologize. Maybe they won't be so quick to judge next time 💕

Very well stated. I simply move on. People will be people. There are times when I have said the wrong thing. I've learned to forgive myself and others.

I'm glad you could rise above. But I wouldn't have been able to. I would have ask them both what their mother's would have thought of their hurtful behaviour that disrespects women that are minding their own business trying to be healthier? I am too old to put up with that sh!t directed toward me or anyone else anymore. Can't do it.🙅🏻

Thanks everybody for your support. Trust me, I held back with every ounce I had. I am too old to deal with the shit too. I just don't understand that in general. Why would somebody do that? It's annoying. But I see it as just another barrier to get to where I need to be. It's like the devil working his magic.

I try to move on at this time in my life. I lost so many people I loved. Nothing can ever hurt more than that to be honest. It's all superficial bullshit anymore.

Just remember. One day, and it will not be too long, those guys will not even recognize you as you walk by them. That's the day you turn around to them and say "Hey! Remember me?"

There's nothing to be gained by interacting with those f*ckwits. They are not worth your beautiful, loving time; you have more important things to do with people who love and value you. Their punishment is their sh*tty, shallow life- can you imagine having to live every day inside one of those ignorant brains? Move on, move up. If it continues to be a problem, report then to your gym management.

You have the right attitude. They are very childish. Not macho or manly at all, but rather insecure and in a desperate need for an ego boost. You are going in the right direction by being at the gym and continuing to go and progress in your fitness and weight loss. Someday it may be them who will be obese and get laughed at for trying.

I've been there... I go to a gym and on top of being overweight, I have a very obvious birthmark (entire left arm is purple/red and enlarged from Klippel-Trenaunay-Weber Syndrome) so I try to wear t-shirts over sleeveless but it's common for people to stare, point, elbow their friend to "check that out", or my favorite (not), literally staring slack-jawed and/or tripping on their treadmill from staring. Sometimes it's hard to ignore but I try, I use headphones all the time. Making fun of someone improving their health at the gym is crazy... and I agree with AllieLittles, one day they will be beer-bellied flabby guys who don't go to the gym because they're the old fat guys now. Screw 'em!

People can be such jerks... if anything in a week or 5 years it should be those guys who look back on what happened and they should be bothered by their actions. And maybe the one who didn't stand up for what was right will be haunted by how he behaved. Proud of you for doing what is right and good for you!!

People lack perspective... are too insulated in their "bubble of ignorance"... they are to be the ones to be pitied among all who walk this Earth. You did the RIGHT thing by restraining yourself... you took the "high road"... proud of you!

Jerks are everywhere. And only an idiot would say something negative about someone who is obviously working on the perceived problem. Just stick with your plan, stay the course, and try to ignore the pitifully negative a-holes. Your positive posts are a blessing.
