Anyways, what the instructer meant was that if you don't eat right, exercises won't help much, thus it will be useless for her to train these people.

I'm sure she did'nt mean you've gotta be in shape to take aerobics class. But to lose weight, you've gotta eat right and move/work out more.

I seem to have a problem with this. If a person has the motivation to get off the couch, get in their car and drive to a place where they are offering some sort of motivational classes, then that person who got into their car and drove there in the first place should get a big pat on the back. It shouldn't matter what this person is eating when not at the classes, it should be up to the instructor to educate this person of how diet will best compliment their exercise. I think the instructor is un-educated and maybe it is a good thing that you Wonderwoman, didn't get in on this. Sort of a blessing in disguise. Stick with us and you will lose that 20 lbs. You can do it. You are definately a Wonderwoman with us.

Jodee, your points are correct.

I personally am trying to not let myself be bothered by negative people like that instructor lady.

Man, I'm a Christian, and there are so many church groups that do religious things, not nessecarily Christian things. Like Jesus was probably mad about the situation with you. I know, Christians aren't perfect, but sometimes the worst things Christians do are in church or in God's name. Thing is Jesus loves those people the same as he loves everyone, and that should be my goal as well.

That is not cool at all, but at least you did find out what it was like before you got involved. They were probably all just jealous that you are so close to your goal. You don't have to worry about that kind of thing here. From what I've seen in the few days you can get all the help, support and advice you could ever need right here!

If you would like a real life support group though I highly recommend TOPS (take off pounds sensibly) there is guaranteed to be a group near you somewhere there are thousands across North America and I've been to several groups over the years (due to moving) I've always found them extremely helpful and friendly. www.tops.org

that is not right... and thats about all i can say unless someone wants to be educated on some very colorful words. lol
