No, I lose weight because I'm structured, disciplined, and actually make sacrifices every single day...also I could point out 1000 MFP users who've lost a lot of weight without being a dude..
LMFAO! SERIOUSLY? I love that one! Jealousy is such an hilarious thing to behold. "You can only lose weight because you're a dude". (Maybe she (I'm guessing) cannot lose weight because she's a dud'?) And you are so right. Losing weight, getting fit/healthy is a choice! It's a choice you have to make every minute of every day. At work, someone offers a piece of cake or whatever. You choose to have a chunk of that sweet, or a sliver, or pass it up with a polite "not this time, but thanks." You go out to dinner with friends - you choose to have that big, cholesterol-laden, fat and calorie-filled meal, or you opt for something less 'offensive' to your body. You choose to get up an extra half hour early in the morning to workout before you shower and get ready for work/or to stop at the gym or whatever to workout after work.
With rare exception, we have all chosen the lives we have - and that includes obesity or a flabby, sloppy, unhealthy body. There is no margin for blaming someone else. You're diagnosed with lung cancer? You have been smoking since you were fourteen? You CHOSE that! The doctor finds "a few dozen beef, bacon, cheeseburgers in your arteries (cholesterol)? You CHOSE to eat 'dirty' fast food instead of eating 'smart'. We can also choose to do everything in our power to reverse those negative outcomes of past choices. Everyday is a chance to start anew... to overcome the choices we might regret of a previous day.
It's easy to make excuses for why we don't do 'the right thing'. It is less so to actually take action to overcome those excuses. But... Every journey begins with the first step. And, with fitness, that literally means a step! Sometimes it's harder to take that step than others but... Don't give up! Once you decide you are worth the sacrifice, promise yourself that you will do what's right. Then keep your promise to yourself and Do It!
Well... That or... You can only lose the weight because you're a dude... Or is it because you're not over fifty? Or... maybe because...???

Lots of people have told me that I look taller.
I've been told like 3 times that I look shorter... I'm 5'3" I don't have many inches to lose

An old lady friend "E" with whom I used to eat dinner occasionally would always say "You're being good!" if I chose a less-caloric entree or if I didn't order dessert or something alcoholic. Once a friend "A" ate with us and got a combo dinner that included dessert. She told the waitress she didn't want the dessert. Instead of pushing her to eat it anyway, "E" turned to me and asked if I wanted it. I asked "Why didn't you urge A to eat it?" "Because she needs to watch it. You don't."0

I had one from here asking me why don't I have gastric bypass or a sleeve done bc I obviously have b.e.d.
I said well bc I am not morbidly obese, I've managed my binge quite well on my own and why would I cut into my body if not medically necessary, what would that teach me anyway about my relationship With food? It really took me aback bc I had lost around 25 at that point and it changed my view on this person drastically.

I have always joked said I have some weird form of reverse fat that doesn't keep me warm. I always get cold. As much as I hear my fellow MFP posters complain about being cold makes me very worried for how cold I'll be as I continue to lose.

That lady is not ok. Very strange thing to say to someone you are not VERY close to.
You just keep moving forward. If you lost 25 pounds - you can lose the rest! You got this!

Rub two sticks together, start a fire. You two must be hot together LOL 0 -

Why are the people who are supposed to love you the most the most hurtful.
I had something like this happen with my mother. She was going on and on about how huge my arms are and how I could not use a standard blood-pressure cuff. Not true--the regular cuff fits me just fine.
So I measured. My VERY muscular were 12"...and her flabby arms were 15". I am nearly a foot taller than my mother, with a much bigger frame size.
That shut her up and I haven't had any more disparaging comments about my body for a couple of years.0 -

Have you had your thyroid checked recently? Always being cold is the classic sign of hypothyroidism.

You know I was like this at my highest weight, but as I'm getting closer to normal, I don't get as cold. It's weird. I've had my thyroid checked though. Maybe it's an affect of being generally unhealthy that starts to get better for a while as you get healthier, then comes back because you just don't have the insulation anymore. Total guess, but who knows?0 -

Way to discredit my hard work!!
My mom, who has been trying and failing to lose weight for LITERALLY 15 years now, is constantly throwing this one at me. I tried, very sensitively, to get her to do what I'm doing and she totally blew me off "Oh it doesn't work like that for me, I don't have time to count calories, etc etc" and yet she is constantly doing "cleanses" and spending a bunch of money on new fitness classes that kick her butt so hard she can barely walk (she's 53). And whenever I tell her "But mom, I've lost 14 lbs ALREADY and I've really put in minimal effort compared to you." She acts like it's just no big deal at all and she makes me feel like my efforts, however small they are in comparison to hers (It's been effort for me, and probably for the average person, just cause I didn't sign up for boot camp....), don't matter at all. Like, I realize people are different, but CICO is the same no matter your age unless you have special conditions, and she doesn't.
I just want to scream at her through her excuses "Don't you get it??? YOU'RE the reason I thought there was no hope all these years! Your constant "trying" and failing made me believe that if you couldn't do it with all the work you APPEARED to be putting in, that of course I could never do it! And now you can't even be happy for me that I can do it after all?! Really?"
Lmao!! Now I'm mad @cho moma!! Jk funny story!! Wait...it made me smile gotta find that thread thanks bye!! Oh and keep burning!!!0 -

Last weekend, visited friends I hadn't seen in about 6 months. In those 6 months, I've also lost 50 lbs.
When I walked in, one looked at me and said, "Your hair looks great!"
I said thanks, but it kind of took me by surprise because my hair has not changed significantly in those 6 months. It's long, and it is maybe 3 inches longer ... and the roots need doing right now. But otherwise it's the same as it has been for ages.
The only thing I could think of was that they noticed a difference, and couldn't quite put their finger on what it was.
Later that evening, I got the arm around the waist and the murmured ... "Are you OK?"
Everyone seems so concerned for my health these days!

I hit my 50lbs weight loss mark a few days ago weighing at 246lbs and my Mom told me "There's no way you could be that with how much you eat. The scales must be broken." I was so pissed. Turns out the scales weren't broken, so HA!

Convo in the car with my son on the way to the gym:
Son: Mom, I like that you are getting healthy. But can you not lose too much?
Me: Well, I have a lot to lose. What is too much?
Son: Well, when you lose you are going to get smaller, but your head doesn't get smaller. I just don't want a bobble head mom. So don't lose enough to be a bobble head.0 -

I'm sorry. I have some family members like that. My grandmas were wonderful, but some others, not so much.0 -
Yikes I can't believe so many families act so mean! I just realized how blessed I am with my family. Sure they can be annoying at times but at least they are loving and kind0

I work at a hospital. A few weeks ago, a nurse that I'm friendly with says..."You've lost a lot of weigh. Do I need to worry about you?" Since she works with a lot of cancer patients I knew she was asking, without coming right out and asking, if I was sick. So I assured her I was doing just fine. Her response then was..."Good for you!" Bless her heart...0

Lol, thanks:) I'm doing my best to convince her, it's a slow process, but I care more about her living to see her grandkids grow up than her absurdity.0 -
