I mentioned to someone once, that I thought the same things. I would be on the treadmil going slower than others or doing less time and they would be thinking .... no wonder she's such a fata**! But this guy (who is a total gym rat) told me NO ONE thinks that! They're just another person trying to better themselves, and good for them! And as another said, the super vain ones are too busy checking themselves out.
I was doing eliptical at the gym, and a trainer came up to say Hello, and introduced me to the woman on the machine next to me. She's all fit n thin and im like... oh yay another one of you... lol But then she's really friendly, and says that she's lost something like 150 lbs. She looks good now, but she knows what its like to be the fat chick. Who knows how many other people at the gym are the same?
Just remember, you are doing it for YOU! Who cares what anyone else thinks?!!? Hard I know, but keep at it!
