I have no problem with overweight people in a gym. It shows initiative in at least they're trying. Not for trying in the sense of trying to attain superficial good looks (although, I'm sure that's the motives of some) but trying in the sense of improving their health. Rarely do people start out in life being a hardbody. You have to start somewhere. I can somewhat understand an unintentional stare but to ridicule someone for this shows a real lack of maturity. That being said, I did once have a rather chubby (not a muscular, stocky chubby) fellow follow me around to a few machines and weight stations and try to instruct me on how to better do this that exercise when I was obviously in much better shape than he. My reply (it's all I could think of), "Yeah, it's seem's to have worked wonders for you." I don't know if he saw it on an exercise show and was sincerely trying to help me out or whatever but he was getting annoying. Anyway, he promptly left after that and I felt bad.
