    "Did you lose weight on purpose?" Not sure what was really meant by that.

    The compliments from co-workers about my maintaining my weight loss - no I am still losing, I have not reached goal yet.

    Oh man! I got a pretty awful one from my mother in law!
    It was towards the beginning and I had lost about 30-40 pounds at that point. She looked at me and said "Wow. Your diet and exercise is really starting to show. Instead of having one big front area (motioning from the top of her chest to her hips) you now have boobs and then a belly!"
    I am still annoyed by that one! :|

    My favorite:

    "You don't sweat much for a fat girl."

    Seriously made me laugh; best backhanded compliment ever. Yes.... Fat but decently fit at the time cleaning stalls, working cows, loping horses, giving lessons and team roping.

    Mine wasn't a compliment, but I took it as one. I recently ran into a friend that I hadn't seen in the past 6 months or so (so, I was 58 pounds lighter). He walked right by me, didn't recognize me at all. It was sort of awesome.

    Oh I have a really good one, happened about two weeks ago.

    Just for some background, I look fairly young for my age, I'm short, and when I wear loose fitting clothing, you can't really tell that I have a "womanly" figure, I look very skinny.

    I was having coffee with this guy who turned out to be a creep and I sht you not, he says, "You look amazing. You have a body like a 13 year old and it's kind of a turn on for me." I didn't know what to say, other than "We're in the middle of Starbucks!!" Haven't spoken to him since.

    My two SIL's go walking etc to lose weight. They never lose weight. They show up at the walking track with latte's and a pastry for breakfast.

    One of them looked me up and down real catty and asked me the other day "you trying to lose MORE weight?". Lol ... jealousy's a curse.

    I am just starting so you can't really tell, but one woman I know noticed I have lost weight and asked how. I told her I've been counting calories. She asked about exercise and I haven't made that a habit yet. I know she goes to the gym regularly and wants to lose weight. She kept asking about exercise and I said I do some walking. I am not sure if I was expected to compliment her back. I am socially inept. Not an interesting compliment, but i didn't know what to make of it.
