On another note, I mentioned to my boyfriend that I had lost a few inches in my hips. He said, "No one ever wrote a song about liking small butts." Yeah, but they write a lot of breakup songs . . . .

OMG!!! I had to wipe my eyes on this one!!! Best comeback eva!!!

About the "too thin" comment. I HATE that one! If I'm within the weight range for my height and age, I'm not too thin.

I have had that despite being a BMI of 27. I am ignoring it as I feel I will look best with just another 5 pounds to go and that will be 26 BMI. I do admit that my arms to look thinner than what I would like.

I saw someone walk past who I haven't seen for about 5 years and she didn't know who I was when I said hello. I didn't use her name so probably should have. I was around 150 pounds heavier back then. Must have thought I was some sort of weirdo talking to strangers.

25 or less is a healthy BMI so right to headon down....

My husband keeps referring to my target weight as my "decree nisi weight". I point out that I wouldn't waste that much money on a solicitor when there are clothes and shoes which will add to the fabulosity of my slimline figure.

I always find it unusual when people say "You've lost so much weight already, you don't need to lose another 3 stone (42lb)". Well, according to my dress size and BMI I do!

I used to work at a pharmacy that is now next door to the xray/us clinic I work in, so a lot of the customers will recognize me. A client who hadn't seem me for maybe over a year, asked me if my fat sister worked next door at the pharmacy? To which I responded," I am the fat sister".

LMAO.... my sister and I have said this same thing!!

From a trainer at my gym: "You were way hotter before you lost weight".

Please tell the trainer to go to hell! You are hot!

My old boss asked me, "are you going on a trip?" And I replied, " not that I know of, why?" And he said "most people only loss weight when they are going on a holiday somewhere warm" and I just laughed and said nope just sick of me sick and tired

From a trainer at my gym: "You were way hotter before you lost weight".

That hurt! Did you ask the trainer to go to...?

I *wish* I'd said "You were way hotter before you started talking!" :laugh: but in real life I just looked shocked and said "Really?!"

awwwww some men like the weight, just think maybe u broke his heart

This!!! Plus can I just say, by your profile pic you are definitely very pretty, so by this trainer's standards, you must have been an absolute knockout before you lost!!!!

You have definately won the prize for best/funniest response!!:laugh:

I went to wedding lately with my family. There were many people telling me how much I've lost weight and how much my sister looks the fattest now :P but the strangest or the one that made me the most proudest was when one of my dad'd oldest friends who know me from when I was a 6 year old kid (i'm now nearly 20) went up to my sister and said "hi, its been a long time, where is your older sister?" and my sister replied, right here next to me and he blinked four times in awe. He then said, " she looks soo ugly, how ugly is she, I cant believe it, she looks so ugly, is that her??' I've never been so happy in my life!!! (by the way he found my sister who was fat, very beautiful) :P

someone told me i looked quite "tight"

eh compliment i guess but still odd...

I've gotten so many..I'd rather people not recognize me in order that I don't have to listen to stupid or insensitive comments....my favorite one is "you are wasting away" "don't lose anymore" ...

I get annoyed by comments like that too. I'm sure it's intended with a good heart but they say it as if I have an eating disorder or losing any more weight is going to effect my health negatively.

I'm still clinically overweight for my height so I clearly can lose a bit more quite safely!

I've gotten that a few times or I'm disappearing. I hardly think I'm disappearing at 225 pounds LOL.
