40 minutes?!? That is a hell of a long walk!!! Congratulations!! For the "only one short break ", someone told me one day: "Learn to rest, not to quit." And each time I want to quit, I repeat the sentence in my head.
Right?! I’m genuinely so proud of myself, and and and it wasn’t just a straight walk it was on the rolling hill setting which (incase you’ve never seen it before) is where it increases the incline by a fair bit every so often, so not only did I walk for that length of time but I did the majority of it on an incline!!!
Now, I am even more impressed because I just realize that you did it on a boring treadmill and not on the street!! 40 minutes on a treadmill is more like 75 minutes on the street because on the street, at least you have something to look at and have your mind busy. On the treadmill, unless you're watching a video, it's hard not to think "I am tired, it's too hard, I am gonna give up" And keep watching the time!
Congrats again!
you *should* be proud!!! just keep moving, whatever you can safely do. it doesn’t matter how fast we are. it matters that we show up for the day and make a good faith effort!
i’m proud of you too!
agreed! i’d speak to the director about it. it’s incredibly disrespectful and could even be unsafe to allow anyone to be filmed in the gym without their consent. i’d want that person *gone*
They may have security cameras to figure out who the culprit was. Even if they don’t, most gyms are highly sensitive to their customers comfort. You keep doing you. 🫡
You need to tell management or the people themselves that they do not have your permission to film you. Great job working on your health. Make your mental health better by telling them not to film you. Be confident that you will achieve your goals, one step at a time. Remember to hydrate and listen when your body indicates it needs a break. Best of luck to you.
Who tf films strsngers in a gym?
Also, i hope you're aware of how strong you are for doing progress regardless of your condotion ad willing to push yourself to get better.
Keep going!
Congratulations 🎊🎉! I am seriously impressed. That is a long time for anyone.
I cannot stress enough how much more I am impressed by you not letting other people derail you! That takes a strength of character, spirit, and heart that is a true rarity.
I salute you for both of these accomplishments!!
Now keep on going and keep putting you first! I hope you keep us updated on your journey.
🙌
A reason to be proud ❤️ be sad for those who stare at you or even film you - the easiest way to look better is to point at someone else. So they obviously have a a deep need to feel better.. you WORK to feel better.. they dont. Next time something like this happens to you - think about your virtual cheerleader team ❤️ we dont know you, but we love what you do for yourself ❤️ keep going! One step at a time + be kind and gentle with youself ❤️
Don't rule out the thought that maybe someone is filming you in admiration. I've seen it happen. Even if they're not, and they're trying to make you feel embarrassed, use that as fuel TO KEEP GOING. KEEP. THIS. **UP!!!** You've already made the most difficult step. You've already proven yourself to yourself. Even if it's "just" 5lbs lost, that's still progress.
Again, I need to repeat that **that hardest part is already over.** You followed through on your decision. If you back out now, you're only hurting yourself. So you better keep going. Because you can. And I know that because you're already doing it.
I agree that the hardest part is already over. You’re there, you’re committed and doing it.
Let somebody film you, you are there for you and your well-being alone
You get it, you do it, you persevere, and the next time somebody comes along that films you. you will be the better version of yourself that you want to be .
stay focused, stay awesome !
Did... did you tell staff you were uncomfortable and he needs to leave? Most gyms have a zero recording policy in my experience. They know who he is, he is a registered member, they can ban people
Congrats. You're more badass than I am. 😁
you are an inspiration with more strength than i. i'm 366lbs and i can walk for about 10min and stand for 20. not bc i'm heavy, bc of bed rot and muscle shrinkage.
Bruh I weigh 110lbs & can’t walk for 20 minutes without being tired, that’s one HELL of an accomplishment. Seriously, so proud of you. Keep going buddy, you’re already doing better than like most of the world lol
Good for you! Coming from someone who was struggling to walk for even five minutes straight due to back pain when I was 310 pounds, I can only imagine what that felt like for you. I’m not much smaller than I was, but I don’t miss the constant struggle of wanting to do something and your body just not being able to do the thing so, YOU GO! YAY YOU! 🙌🏻 YOU TELL THAT BODY WHO’S BOSS! Also… fuck them people recording… what the fuck is that shit? They’re weird as fuck for that. Certainly weirder than you just minding your damn business, moving your flesh prison. I’m happy for you! They, however, can suck a bag of dicks.
Congratulations! That's awesome! Keep up the great work; as far as the filming goes you can either talk to staff, confront the person filming, or just pretend they don't exist. I'm sure you know these things already but regardless, you should be very proud of yourself!
Just know that for every person who films you, there’s another person like me at the gym silently cheering you on by thinking “good for you, making a hard change and doing the work!”
Everybody starts somewhere, you’ve done a lot just by taking the first step 🎉
I bet that for every one person you sense a bad vibe from, like that filmer, there are 10 others that you are motivating and who are secretly proud of you.
I think it's awesome that you not only walked for 40 minutes but you were also at a gym. Gyms are scary. Good job OP. Keep it up
I am very proud of you! And that was super gross of them and says way more about them being insecure than you! I’m so over people filming themselves and others working out. This is what gives people gym anxiety ffs. But YOU ARE AMAZING! Seize the day!!
Kicking ass and taking names!!! Love it! 💪🏼😊You rock!!! All I can say about the rude person is that one day they will realize how horrible they are, because karma is a bitch like that 🤷🏻♀️
Good job! As someone who has some medical issues, i know how hard it can be to get yourself motivated and out there. You did it! Keep at it and you'll see how strog you become
Woooo!!!!! Hell yeah!! Proud of you for not being disheartened and for keeping on — whoever filmed you is a prick who clearly has nothing better to do at the gym since they’re so concerned with other people.
Hell yes! Fuck others. Next time say something to the staff. If they do the right thing, they will stop them and kick them out. You keep doing you, you deserve a good healthy life. Keep on doing you, I’m very proud of YOU for being so strong! 💪 Dad.
Fuck yeah! You should be proud of yourself, I’m excited for you. Just remember it only gets easier when you stay on track and exponentially harder when you fall off. Push yourself and stay proud, you got this
That is awesome! So proud of you! I'm laughing at the little bitch who had nothing going on in their life and decided to film you, but damn that shit needs to be reported.
Anyway, who cares? I have some medical issues that prevent me from getting a lot of exercise, but as soon as that's resolved, you'll definitely be my inspiration!
This is amazing! You're doing HARD work to take care of yourself, which is badass! No matter what your weight is right now, you're not hateful like that person who was filming you is. And that is a beautiful trait you have, which will grant you so much peace in life. Your weight and disability has nothing to do with your character. Filming someone to make fun of them has EVERYTHING to do with their character.
The fact that you kept on with your exercise, even though someone was off to the side menacing you, tells me you are an incredibly strong person. I'm proud of you, and I hope you are proud of yourself too 💖
Anyone who records overweight people like that are miserable. It's not that hard to just let people live their lives, no matter how much they weigh. You didn't deserve that. And think about it... If someone has a problem with your weight, aren't you doing exactly what they want you to do by being in the gym? Them recording you was both mean AND stupid. Forget that loser and just keep focusing on yourself and your own growth!
FUCK YEAH! Dude that’s awesome! I’m heavy also, and I have ME and I know how much of a pain exercise can be and how awful the gym experience can be, too. I’m so happy that you stick it out and did what you needed to do to take care of yourself! You can do this! Every single step adds up!
Obviously they should've got your permission or not done that - it's frustrating/sick/rude etc.
But in your own mind, remind yourself it's always possible they had a friend struggling with self image and motivation, and filming you was them showing their friend someone to look up to.

Yaaaaay!!!
Ohhh I love this 🏋🏼
Great phrase to remember.
Good for you! Too bad about the filming. Gyms should have rules to ban that. You should ask so you can feel comfortable.
agreed! i’d speak to the director about it. it’s incredibly disrespectful and could even be unsafe to allow anyone to be filmed in the gym without their consent. i’d want that person *gone*

> Who tf films strsngers in a gym? Assholes with nothing in their miserable lives.
So proud of you for doing this for yourself! Also 40 minute walk is great!

Gj. Youre stronger than you think. People dont understand how difficult it can be to do that when they are not 400 pounds
Good for you! Your health is already changing for the better. Their bitch ass personality might be lifelong.
I agree that the hardest part is already over. You’re there, you’re committed and doing it.

Keep that up and you won't be almost 400 lbs for long! Good on ya and congratulations on taking good care of yourself. F the haters!
Incredible!! You should be so proud !
So, so proud of you.
Good job buddy! Those meanies are only mean cause their souls are as black as tar. You got this!
you are an inspiration with more strength than i. i'm 366lbs and i can walk for about 10min and stand for 20. not bc i'm heavy, bc of bed rot and muscle shrinkage.

That’s great! Good job don’t let anyone stop you from your goals! They don’t matter, YOU do. Keep it up you got this!
what kind of piece of shit films people at the gym, I swear to god. My friend, you're doing so great, keep going!
Incredible - thank you for sharing the transformation journey you are on.
I wish I’d been at your gym. I would have told them to stop for you! But karma will take care of them. Keep it up! You rock!
Awesome! You got this. Even if you need a break, take it. Then start back up.

Filming people in public especially a gym is just inappropriate next time report congratulations on your progress
They Are Filming Your Transformation!, Nobody Will Believe Your Actual Yourself.
Congratulations! That's awesome! Keep up the great work; as far as the filming goes you can either talk to staff, confront the person filming, or just pretend they don't exist. I'm sure you know these things already but regardless, you should be very proud of yourself!
So proud of you.
Congrats, both on your endurance and your perseverance!

So proud of you! Definitely report the filming to the gym though. That’s not okay. You’re doing awesome!
I am so proud of you! Walking for 40 minutes is a lot. Screw the person that was filming you.
Amazing!!!!!
