                    I try to get to the gym when I can
                
                It can be a real struggle to get there but it feels so good when I do. Fortunately most of the women at my gym jsut keep their heads down and do their own thing

                Workouts take discipline.
  Good luck!
  I'm rooting for you!

                    Maybe you should have asked her if she had gained weight and how much.
                
                See how she likes it.
Good luck with your get healthy program!

                OK, I am way overtired and maybe that is why I want to show up at your gym and kick her ass but even not overtired that is the rudest thing I have ever heard in my life.  Give me a choice of enjoying my food and fighting my weight or eating some seriously screwed up food to be rail thin, I'll take enjoying my food.
  Besides we all put on some weight in the winter as our activity level in cold states generally goes down.  Get outside and play for a bit, you will not only feel better, you will get a nice tan too!

                Egos run high in a gym. Perhaps she needed to assuage her own negative self-talk. I admire those who enter with courage and determination to make positive changes.

                I wish we could work out at a gym together.   I would edify your efforts and let you know how wonderful it is that you are willing to exercise.  I've had three doctors tell me I need strengthening exercises, but I am not willing to drive the miles I'd have to drive on a consistent basis, like three days a week.  I just work at my job and exercise at home.   Take care.

                I am proud of you for the motivation and effort it takes to even work out at the gym.  Never mind her, just be proud for doing what you are doing. It is great!

                OMG, was that rude or what?  Add that to list of reasons that I have against gyms (the smell, trying to tune out people), but don't let me influence you against going back.  In fact, I suggest wearing earphones and yelling "What?? I can't hear you!" real loud next time the stupid twit tries to sabotage you again.  The nerve of some people, that was uncalled for.  Puh-leez.  
  I hope you lose the weight (for yourself), but I'm a big believer in "Living well as the best revenge", keeping your head up, and leaving people like that in the dust.  Hopefully, one day, you will run into her one day and she will be floored by the New You.  (running into I meant as a figure of speech, back away from the gas pedal and nobody gets hurt!)
