Ht. 5'7", Start: 240 lb, Today: 184 lb, Goal: 140 lb - I don't know how much longer I can put up with my friends bull crap. Last week she told me she weighed 208, and this week she said she got to 193. 15 pounds. She looks the same as she did at 246. I think she's trying to compete with me, and I'm not one to put up with lying. Everyone says she looks the same. She's starving herself to lose weight. If she even has lost weight. She doesn't eat anything, but when she does it's typically McDonald's or cookies. I tried to put up with it for as long as I could, but I don't think I can anymore. I'm going to probably end up yelling at her. Which I'd rather not do. She lies about everything. Is it even possible with starvation to lose 53 pounds in 2 months? I want to have her weigh herself on my scale in front of me as proof. If it truly says 193 then I'll believe her. It's just so irritating. She hasn't worked out at all. I workout almost everyday. I'm here working my butt off, I've lost 56 pounds in 7 months, and she's sitting next to me starving/eating cookies and telling me she lost 53 pounds in less than 2 months. I don't know what to do, I don't have the heart to tell her how I feel. If she stops lying I could easily continue this friendship, but if it doesn't stop then I won't be able to put up with it. I just don't know what to do anymore. And on top of it all, I've hit a plateau that has been lasting for 3 weeks. : (

she can lie all she wants but she can't trick the scale. if she's really annoying you just change the subject when weight is brought up or ignore her.

why does it matter? Who cares if shes lying about her weight..YOU are the one LOSING the weight. Who cares if she lost 50 pounds in 2 months, especially if she still looks the same. You are doing great with your weight loss and she is obviously jealous of you...think of it as envy

sometimes my one friend gets really annoying..nd i have 2 calm myself down b4 i say something i will regret...just tell her that you are worried about her, nd that it isn't healthy 2 lose that much weight w/in 2 months, then if she is lying she will tell u she didn't lose that much..but about the competing thing..u know u look better nd u r doing really good , so u should be proud of yourself, rather than worrying about what ur firend has lost, nd even so if she did lose all that weight so fast, she's going 2 gain it back fast
=D hope i helped

I just had a thought. I don't know if this is the case, but maybe she really does weigh 193. But since she doesn't exercise, it's all fat. But would it make that much of a difference? I weigh 184, but I am one inch shorter than her, but I look about 25-30 pounds thinner than she does. I don't know. I'm trying to calm myself down. Not sure if it is working. She looks more like 220 in my opinion. I need to meditate. : ) lol
