I get told this everyday...
"You don't need to workout, you are already skinny"
-- I want to punch people in the throat when I hear this.... I don't workout to get skinny. I workout to stay fit and to be healthy.
"Why are you working out, you don't need to lose weight"
-- Yup, throat punch again... Just because someone is working out doesn't mean they are doing it to lose weight!
"Just one donut isn't going to kill your diet"
-- Maybe so, but I don't need someone trying to shove office donuts down my throat because they think I need one. If I want one, I will have one... simple as that!

Not really about working out but more diet related:
"You gotta ask yourself about all those carbs" ~ my (overweight) dad as I reached for a hot dog bun on the Fourth.
"Clearly, I'm doing it wrong, Dad"0 -
Stop with all the weights, you are going to look manly. Muscles are for guys. :mad:0

You should try shakeology if you are trying to lose weight!!!0

"You must spend all your time in the gym."
Said to me while *not* at the gym.0 -
You're so young! You don't need to worry about your weight quite yet, wait until you're metabolism slows down and until then eat and drink!
Yes, I'm younger. I worry about my weigth now because I don't want to have to worry and struggle while I'm older. Roar!0 -

Exactly!0 -
When I tell people I like the free weight section of the gym:
"You lift? Your gonna get big!"0 -
"What are you doing to lose weight?"
(partially listens)
Grabs onto "on the weekends sometimes I do a run or walk"
Doesn't hear "Careful eating but still enjoying foods..." and also "Lifting 3 days a week..."
Replies "Oh! Walking? You should call me and we can go together! But I can't do it xxTIMExx of day..."0 -

oh man, I knew I forgot to add one on my list! I get that one a lot too0 -
Yesterday I got told that I needed more meat on my bones.
I just ate 4 pieces of cake, and got a "you need to slow down" by the same person.
People are funny. But that cake was damn good.0 -
That is seriously rude, clearly those unfortunate people have yet to discover the myriad advantages to physical activity! I'm trying to lose so that is part of my motivation, but I am also just downright happier and more energetic when I exercise consistently. I've noticed that certain people who know about my weight loss go out of there way to push unhealthy foods on me. Project much? Lol. I'm at a place where I just feel bad for them.0

More diet related, and a recent one too:
"I don't think you're eating enough, and you're getting too thin. It'd be different if you were all muscle, but you're not."
Straight through the heart. I'm still trying to recover from that one.0 -
I've heard worse gym comments but your consistency rocks: )
Staying strong for efficient throat punching force seems legit

success shuts 'em up fairly quick.
When I first started dieting and exercising, i was told by many people I was doing it wrong.....50+lbs later.....they shut up0 -

I don't know about "everyday," but someone did once tell me women shouldn't lift more than 20 lbs or they'll get hernias.
I lift more than ten times that, but no hernias yet. Maybe my body is just a faulty model.0 -
my ex used to tell me running was going to hurt more then help......
just another reason he is my ex0 -
.....only been asked this once and I was so upset by it!!!!
"Are you cheating on your fiance and that's why you're losing weight for someone else?" So in order to look and feel better I must be screwing someone OTHER than my significant other.
:explode:0 -
