    It's common to lose 5-10 lbs when you start low carb. It's all water loss, since the lack of grains requires less water to pass through the digestive system.

    Hide her from your facebook feed.

    You can only control you.

    This. 100%
    Toxic "friends" are not friends.

    i would encourage her on her way since she is your friend!!
    be a good friend to her and then if she needs help along the way you will still be there.. and vice versa! thats what friends are for. dont be like everybody else and down on her, be somebody she wants to be friends with. everybody has things during their friendship that will annoy, but being a true friend is whats important.

    Say "that's nice, I'm changing my lifestyle so I can get healthy and fit, AND stay that way. I wouldn't want to do the yo-yo thing" And leave it at that

    This. Followed by "I think vilifying a food group is a cop out, learning moderation is key if you actually want to keep the weight off..."

    Just ignore it. Why do you need a comeback? It actually has nothing to do with you. It's her journey. Just leave her to it. If she asks for your advice, give it gently, but if not, just congratulate her on her losses and leave it at that.

    This.

    I find headbutting useful? Lol, sorry, I have a friend like this so I know how you feel. To be honest I found them too toxic to be around and withdrew from them.

    Tell her you're sure she'll find them again soon.

    Just kidding.

    I've heard some people like to punch in the vagina as well.

    I'd ignore her unless she's asking you directly about something you are eating, then I'd use some of the replies you've already been given.

    Oh yeah, I low carbed it too for about two weeks, lost 4 lbs and then I ate some pasta and gained it back plus some.

    My boyfriend and I are trying to lose weight together, he lost 4 lbs in the first week...I lost 1. So he rubs it in my face that he is losing more weight by eating low fat than I am by eating low calorie and working out. My comeback is that I am a woman and am supposed to have boobies and it will take a lot more than 4 lbs for him to lose his moobs.

    BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

    If you are doing it the right way, then the only "comeback" you need will be your ability to keep the weight off come 6 months from now when shes gotten bored of her low carb diet and is putting all the weight back on again.

    Just brush it off for now. Be the bigger person.

    Well said, and I agree wholeheartedly. Congratulate her on her weight loss when she brings it up, and leave it at that.

    In a few month's time, she'll be back at her starting weight (or bigger than before), and you will have lost X pounds and KEPT THEM OFF. That will shut her up. lol

    Feel sorry for her.

    In my experience, people who constantly compete in this way are really suffering from a lack of self esteem. They constantly need to one-up you in order to make themselves feel better. Both you and I know her current plan isn't going to work out long term and while it's annoying, I really sort of just feel pity that she's putting herself through all this (and you with her comments) and will most likely be unable to maintain this change long term.

    Be the better person, don't let her actions affect you. You're on your path to healthiness, so it's all good :)

    I have a friend like that - she mocks calorie counting and is always on the latest fad diet - you name it, she's tried it so that makes her an expert. Every now and then she loses 20lb, then puts it back, with more on top. As a consequence, in the time that I've known her, she's got bigger and I've got smaller, but she's still 'the expert'!
    Guess what her latest fad was? Yes, calorie counting! I'd recommended MFP to her, she found a different site which she said was better, stuck with it for a few weeks and then got bored!
    So just smile and nod - one day she'll come to her senses!

    ROFL to all the wittisms. Kill them with a smile. Smile and nod, go "that's nice" and then move on. The green little monster goes away (eventualy) when it realizes it has no friends.

    Say something like, "I've heard that the low carb thing isn't supposed to be a diet but a lifestyle or the person gains all the lost weight back. So be careful with that"

    Let her be petty, you don't have to. We're LADIES not teen girls. :wink:


    THIS! Agreed!

    And if it's that bad, just Un-Friend her.

    I'm going through this with a few coworkers right now who, after asking me repeatedly over the past year what I did to lose my weight (what I keep telling them is the truth: I move more and I eat smarter), jumped on the Jan.1 bandwagon to get healthy with quick fixes like cutting out entire food groups...when they say something about how they're losing so quickly my response has been, "hey I'm glad it's working for you. Congrats on working to get healthier" Smile, nod, continue doing what works for you, support them if they ask for help. Snarky comebacks will just make you look like YOU are jealous of them for dropping weight quickly (even if they gain it back), which you have no reason to be since you are doing what's best for your body. :wink:

    What are some of the old sayings...things we say to our kids.

    Kill her with kindness - Say that's awesome. Keep up the good work.

    Don't give the bully the attention they seek - Don't get upset, frustrated or emotional.

    Encourage, Encourage and Encourage. It will come back 10 folds.

    I would be equally passive agressive. "Yes, I noticed you always do well with the low carb thing. What is this your 4th bout? You really have it down pat by now, great job"

    My response would be based on what time of the month it is...:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    All kidding aside...I am going through this with my 19 year old son about his girlfriend being on Adkins. :explode: :explode: :explode: Sure, you can be successful at losing the weight, but keeping it off is a different story. :noway: :noway: :noway:

    I think my first response, without thinking, would be "whatever". That's just the way I tend to roll sometimes. :wink: :wink: :wink:

    LOL, I have one better. Me and my friend had are kids weeks apart. I started working out really hard and eating very well. She opted for lipo, butt implants, and a lift. Moral of the story: you can only control the things you do, not that of others, so don't let what she does or anyone else for that matter get to you. Do what works for you and that's all. :flowerforyou:

    how about...

    correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you low carb last year too? Why do you have to keep doing it?

    its nearly impossible to lose that much actual fat in 2 days, its all probably water weight, because I can see you skin starting to dry up a bit.

    dont even worry about it, as soon as she eats some carbs all that water loss will just creep back on anyway

    ps, whats wrong with string cheese??
