    People ask me what this (MFP) website is that I'm on and I tell them, and they are kindof disappointed that the website itself isn't magic. They are like "well what do you do on the website to lose weight?" and i'm like "haha, I motivate and get motivated, but I lose my own weight with hard work!"

    I'm sorry! Honest I giggled to myself a little bit when I read this.

    Some people just don't believe you can have the discipline to do it all on your own. Let them think whatever they want. It doesn't dictate who you are and it sure doesn't negate all the hard work you put into it! Even losing 5 or 10 lbs does make a difference. My friends all see it in my face. Maybe you don't feel like it's coming off fast enough but the best way to keep it off is slow and steady.

    Just do you and don't worry about everyone else!

    Well said. I agree with you 100%.

    They are ask because they want to be on what they think you're on. So just take it as a lefthanded compliment.

    When I lost weight before getting pregnant with my third child, half of my town (small town=big rumors) was convinced that I was on drugs lol. I chalk it up to jealousy :)

    The comment about being on drugs is just wrong. But, like many have said on this thread, if they can't do it themselves, they assume you must be doing something shady because you're succeeding.

    Depending on the person, I usually wait until they mention something about dieting before I say anything about their weight loss. And I'm always careful HOW I say it. 'Wow, you look great! Have you lost weight?' can be 'heard' by some as 'You were so fat before you looked like hell'. To be honest, I don't always notice . . . which is terribly ironic since I want every ounce I've lost acknowledged by somebody.

    Men are easy . . . you can just wink and say 'You've been working out, haven't you?' and most of them just beam. Although once I said that to an older man that had visibly lost some weight and he replied with 'No, I got cancer. But thanks for noticing.' Ugh.
