I agree with everyone that alot of people are just jealous or have no will power of their own so want to put down people like us who actually do something about their weight!
there was a gentleman in our group who joined, lost 10lb in week 1, then 1lb and 1.5lb following weeks, then confessed that the guys at work were taking the mick out of him and trying to encourage him to eat bad food, we gave him a little pep talk and told him to ignore them as he'd have the last laugh when he was fit and healthy at his target weight and they were piling on the lb's, but he never came back again Its awful that people can de-moralise you in that way for trying to make a change for the better.
I'm only 4lb from target but am on the social team and will continue to go every week once i hit target as i enjoy the meetings and chatting to all the other members and sharing advice, and i like being part of the team. I know if i stop going ill slip back into my old ways so continuing to go will help me stay on track! Noone has a right to say 'why are you here' - SW wont let you join if your weight loss would take you below the healthy BMI anyway!
Everyone has done fantastic - ignore the negatives as the proof of how well were all doing is in the losses!
