    My boss, who's a beautiful, tall, grey hair and skinny woman in the 50s, told me "you eat too much, you should reevaluate your calorie needs. People these days just overeat with no reason."

    She didn't even know I was watching my weight!

    "...you've lost how much? Wow, I don't think anyone can tell but keep it up, you'll look better soon!" :/

    How rude!

    From my younger sister who used to be smaller than me "Great now I can be the ugly fat sister again, just like old times"
    "No pictures! I look fat next to you"

    No one will take pictures with me anymore, especially in bathing suits and I worked really hard to look like this and I wish I had pictures of the fun summer I've been having with my friends.

    That's soo funny! After I lost my baby weight (which I suspect she had secretly been enjoying), my little sister looked at me and said "Now I'M the fat one!" .. Not being the type to take the high road, I said, "you always were". Haha sisters :heart:

    Yep, and trying to be the better person I just sighed and walked away.

    "Eat a sandwich." HATE that one.

    Also: "You don't need to worry about what you eat -- you're skinny!" Uh, I'm thin exactly because I worry about what I eat.

    "OMG, are you starving"
    "Are you only eating salads?" I actually enjoy ordering salads when dining out - and all of them are at least 700-1000 cals ! lol
    "You look sick"
    "Ok thats enoguh, no more"

    I actually just hate "oh my gosh, you look so good" and "how did you do it" and "are you feeling better now?"

    My responses (in my head) "are you saying I use to look bad?" and "exercise and good food, are you accusing me of starving myself or taking a pill?" and "I didn't ever feel bad"

    After I had lost all my excess weight once before, my mother said, "You better enjoy those jeans while you can. They won't fit for long."

    She constantly says things like this. I have my guard up this time around.

    "are you sick? - why are you trying to lose so much weight?"

    "You can stop, you are going to vanish into nothing"

    are currently my favorites...

    In their defense, I have lost 170 lbs though so it is a BIG adjustment from always being the biggest in my circle of family/friends to being well average sized now...

    years ago i went to join the Y and the receptionist who was also quite over weight made a comment that i was big boned like her and would never reach my goal weight that i made the mistake of telling her. needless to say i did not get a membership and i am not big boned. i actually have a sm/med frame but i pack on fat as i like to over eat.

    I just started hearing this. According to MFP, I'm down about 61lbs, but I am really down closer to 68lbs from when I started in January 2013. One of my coworkers was like "You don't need to lose anymore! You'll waste away!" I'm still about 25-40ish lbs away from my goal weight (I started at 262 and am now hovering between 194-196). My body fat% is still at obese (but on the positive side, I'm about 2% away from being "appropriate"). I'm like, "What are you talking about?" I've also lately been getting a lot of questions about what I'm doing, and I feel like no one believes me that I am just counting calories, planning meals, and exercising. I'm also getting a lot of very personal questions, asking me specifically how much I've lost.

    "You look sick"
    "Are you anorexic"
    "They have support groups for problems like that."

    And then other people get like REALLY defensive and argumentative about what I'm doing. It's like, "Wooooah, there, cowboy, what just happened here?"

    I'm not sure why it annoys me so much, because I used to ask this question myself, but "How did you lose the weight?" really annoys me...esp when people are surprised/disinterested when you tell them simple diet and exercise: eat less, move more. People are usually disappointed when they realize that there isn't any magic pill or "secret" to losing weight. lol

    I have a few people who constantly tell me I've lost too much weight and I'm too skinny. But I'm 5'4", weigh 134lbs and wear a size 4. I'm healthy and lean, not skinny.

    ^^ This. And from my husband: "If you lose anymore weight there will be nothing left of your boobs and butt." (Thanks Hun)
