    For me, it's "you don't need to lose any more weight". While it sounds like a compliment and I know they don't mean any harm by it, it can be irritating, especially since they can't seem this layer of belly fat that I hide so well.

    This!!! Or just being told I look fine the way I am. Yahhh, well y'all don't live in my body and ya don't see the everlasting muffin top that doesn't go away when i take my nice and comfortable, not tight at all, pants/shorts off.

    Dad says " How much have you lost so far?"
    Me "30 pounds"
    Dad "Hey if you loose another 30 people might start to notice"

    Your dad can bite me.

    "you? go to the gym? yeah right"

    This drives me up the freaking wall. It just seems like there are some people out there who feel like only healthy/fit people go to the gym. Really?

    Also when I told my mom I had dropped weight and was 183 down from 188, she said, "No way, you don't weigh 183 pounds. I would have thought you were 160 /at most/."

    That severely upset me, because I know what I look like, and I do not look like I weight 160 pounds. I know she was trying to make me feel better, but it was just one of those things that got to me.

    This one made me red the other day:

    "Well it's much easier for guys to lose weight."

    Yeah. I've dropped nearly 30lbs because it's so easy. And the reason you can't is because you're a woman. Not because you're having a donut with extra sweet iced tea for breakfast. It's our gender! Really why do I even bother going to the gym? The weight's just gonna melt off me on account of my penis.

    There's a decent amount of women out there who will pull the gender card when it comes to stuff like this, and it's not just you. It infuriates me too. Having boobies means nothing.

    I had someone recently say to me, "Wow! You're looking really good! You've lost a lot of weight! I hate you."

    I told her, "Don't hate me because I'm beautiful!" and tossed my hair like a supermodel. :D She did then go on to ask me about how I was doing it and I told her with commitment and dedication and that I'd be happy to talk to her further about it if she really wanted to know. But yeah, the "I hate you" part kind of irritated me!

    When I started losing weight:

    "You look so much better!" or "You look great now!"

    So then how did I look before? :(

    And now that I'm strength training to tone up, a guy told me "Wow, you're a lot stronger then you look!"

    Sooo, I look weak or what? kiss my *kitten*.

    I told my cousin today that my doctor complimented me on looking so much thinner and he looked at me and was like, "Yeah, then he said 'what a fat b~' on the way out the door. I NEVER use the f-bomb, but I told my cousin to F off!! I was so pissed!! Later he said he was just jealous because nobody says anything like that to him. I was like, HELLO?? You're not working out OR dieting!!!

    Earlier, when I had just started to lose some weight and was feeling really great about it, my sister gave me a picture she had taken of me that weekend in my bathing suit with my kids. She thought I would want it "for motivation".

    I hate when my family/friends say "Hey, skinny!" I know damn well that they are full of crap. I am not skinny, I am just smaller then I was before.

    This made me LOL because I can't believe how ignorant it is.

    The one that I really hate is "well it's easier for you to lose weight because you're fatter than I am" Gee thanks! I've had to bust my *kitten* to lose the 22 pounds that I have. How dare you tell me it was easy!
