What to answer when people tell you to stop...

I am 127 lbs and 5ft 8, I lost 62 lbs within 6-7 months and did not lose an oz for the last three weeks. Women at work keep telling me ( twice today) to stop losing weight! These are two skinny ladies, who now maybe slightly bigger than me ( May be by 1/2 lbs ). So, I am telling them I stopped. But they keep telling me that. I think they could be jelous for whatever stupid reason. How can I tell them to stop bugging me ( they do that independently from each other) in front of other colleagues and it makes me uncomfortable? Anyone has a good line, which is sarcastic but still nice, since they are colleagues and I do not need any bad blood at work. Thank you!!!

That shade of green is unflattering on you

I have reached my goal and maintaining this weight, thanks for your concern but I am doing well.

Weight is a personal subject and one I am uncomfortable discussing at work, my Dr is happy with my health and this is the last time I want to hear from you on this subject. Thank you

"I'm at my goal, happy to be and stay here, any further comments are just a reflection on your insecurities" jk jk, that last part would probably blow some skinny girl gaskets. Lol.

Just tell them in private that you are at your goal weight, maintaining and very happy to have accomplished so much this year. Let them know their constant concern is much appreciated but unnecessary at this time as you are done on your weight loss journey and would rather talk about the next chapter in your life or their short term/long term goals because the topic being brought up in a peer setting at work is inappropriate. If they're your true friends (work friends) they should understand and stop, if not then get snarky with it. Lol.

Awesome and thank you! If only I could be so witty! Love the part " any further comments is a reflection on your insecurities"...

Hehe, you can totally use that line, gotta say it with some sass though. Conviction.

Well, they are driving me crazy and they are not my friends. One day I will pull my guns out by mentioning their insecurities! :-)
