I've found that most people I talk to about it are skeptical at first. They tend to come around though.
My mom told me not to become too manly. I tried telling her that I don't have enough testosterone for that. She didn't get it. So I told her that she can be the judge when she visits in the summer.
My boyfriend was afraid that I would become bulky, like a man. That was until I pointed out a woman in the gym who was super fit and strong. He liked it, and now is a full supporter. We workout together all the time and he's always interested in my progress and to see what I do next. The front squats/push presses really impressed him. He's more excited about the chip up part than I am, and sets of chin ups is one of my goals!
My sister laughed at my goal to be able to squat my bodyweight. She's starting to come around and is slowly introducing heavier weights into her cardio-heavy workouts.
Let the woman who scoffed sit back and watch your transformation. You'll show her!
