    I think that it comes down to jealousy or envy that you can do this. At first it was probably good job because maybe they thought it was a fad. Now that they are noticing you are committed for the long term and are maybe jealous they do not have your commitment and want to derail you with these comments. I maybe thinking the worst of them but I have had people do the same thing to me. Usually they have tried losing weight and gain it back. It is sad really they can not just be happy for your life style change.

    I agree with the above comments as well.

    People are jealous and just trying to bring you down now that they see you haven't failed.

    I've dealt with this as well and if it's from women, I usually return with a comment on how my wife is proud and receives all the benefits from being with a man that looks the way she want's him to look.

    If it's another guy, I may laugh it off and tell them I feel great knowing I can do anything I did at 20, only better (as I've never had a guy make remarks to me that could do that same) or I invite them to workout with me, show me their blood test results to prove their "healthy diet" is working, etc.

    The more intense their comment, the more intensity I give back I guess...but I've learned to have fun with it because it never fails, that the same folks are coming up weeks later saying, "Do you think you can write me up a diet plan or workout?"

    "Thanks for your interest."
    "Thanks for your concern."
    "Is there a reason you're so interested in what I'm eating?"
    "Oh, wow, you must be so embarrassed that you said something so inappropriate, you poor thing. Never mind, let's just forget it."
