    "So... what don't you eat? I mean, there are certain foods you can't eat if you're losing weight."

    O.o

    I hope I'm not the only one that doesn't have a list :P

    Not a gym related question, but I rode my bicycle into work today. It was 10C outside when I did it. Every co-worker walked past me, say my helmet, and asked "you rode in today?" as if anyone who had attempted to do so would die from the cold. -.-'

    "That looks boring." No, that looks like 500 calories with 70g of protein.

    "You eat the same thing for lunch every day, that's ridiculous. There's no way I can do that" - says the person who gets the same muffin and giant Starbucks frappucino every single day for breakfast.

    "I get my exercise by walking at lunchtime" - and stopping at Starbucks for a refill of the aforementioned giant frappucino monstrosity.

    My favorite.. "How do you run?!"

    My answer.. "Well, i put one foot in front of the other, kind of like walkng..but a lot faster"

    As someone who has tried to run and ends up on her front lawn gasping for breath ... I ask my runner friends how they got started without dying. It still eludes me, so I just shuffle along at a 15 minute mile with burning lungs. :ohwell:

    "How did you do it?!" Which wouldn't bother me so much if their eyes didn't immediately glaze over when I tell them I count calories and exercise.

    OK, I know this is a rude thing for someone to say to you, but I have to admit it really struck me as funny. Keep up the jumping!! :flowerforyou:

    He through one of those "I don't mean to offend you then quote above". I told him my diet is trash. We had a good laugh together. It the truth though. If there was a way to outrun a poor diet I would of done it years ago.

    Not really questions, but:

    "It's too hot to be walking outside right now." (Yes, it's in the 90s over here. So what.)

    In a few months it'll be,

    "It's too cold to be walking outside right now."

    Same as mine only its 105 average every day and I am riding....

    "How do you stand the heat"

    "How long are you going to be on your diet?" This drives me crazy! I am not on a diet, I have simply chosen not to stuff my face with processed food all day every day. -_____- It's not revolutionary.

    "You are spending too much time working out" I LOVE that one.

    Not a question, but a statement I've heard a number of times -

    "I don't follow a plan, I just do what feels right..." (And they look like it!)

    THAT must be the secret to mediocrity, or maybe it's just the unfocused wandering in the gym consulting the "smart" phone for guidance in life...(hence including them in the category of "people that don't workout")...

    Don't get me wrong, kudos for even making it to the gym...but then DO something!

    I think it's easier for guys to talk like this to each other. We would never say that to a woman. lol

    "You have a big chest.... you must drink protein shakes?"
    yep... i just drink protein shakes. It has nothing to do with the fact i bench heavy singles every week or do dips until i'm blue in the face...

    *facepalms*

    OMeffingG, I get this one ALL. THE. TIME.

    Also, after I lost about 100lbs, I've decided to re-focus my goals from weight loss to muscle building and I still get "how much more weight you gonna lose?" Grrrrr!!

    "Are you going to come to my IT Works! wrap party?"

    "No. You have been selling those things for 6 months now and you're exactly the same size. And stop linking that crap to my Facebook wall!"

    Ahh, that reminds me of all the requests I got from friends trying to get me on Advocare supplements and the 24-day challenge. Is it 24 day or 21 day challenge? I don't know. Who the f cares.

    Ugh can't stand all these. I have multiple people on my friends list trying to sell these.
