    Best: Wow you're lost alot of weight. Good job.

    Worst: I'm not attracted to you anymore - from my husband

    Omg. You win. How hurtful.

    'Why are you losing weight, you look fine' - traditional mother (can be extremely annoying when you are still overweight) :laugh:

    From a good friend recently:

    "You are looking great - keep it up - I hope some of your self discipline will rub off on me."

    Best: Owner of my company stopped by one day, hadn't seen him in a couple months. "Wow, you've lost some serious weight! That's awesome, man. You look great!"

    Worst: Showing a girl I was hanging out with a picture of me 45 pounds ago: "I wouldn't have given you the time of day if we'd met when you looked like that." I really don't think this one's all that bad, I try to take compliments however they come.

    Hmmm... not sure if you should appreciate her honesty or dump her for being superficial and shallow...

    WORST: My mom said "well I told you once you got past 40 you'd have to start watching your weight. (on trying to get back to my per-weight gain weight) Don't bother trying you'll never be that way again".

    I told a friend I had lost 60 pounds so far. She said "but you're still really fat though."

    When discussing my diet change and supplements...

    "Why would you take Creatine if you're just going to gain all that water weight?"

    "Having a high protein diet is going to destroy your kidneys and liver."

    Best involves two random guys at a restaurant having a conversation as I enter the room.

    Good-Looking Random Guy 1 looks over his shoulder at me whilst continuing talking to Random Guy 2. Good-Looking Random Guy 2 turns around to see what has captured Random Guy 1's attention.

    "She's hot,' says Random Guy 2.

    It felt especially good because I was dressed in some gross athletic clothes.

    Worst: "You haven't lost too much weight.... yet."

    Yeah, I have pretty routinely avoided spending time with her since.

    the best thing I hear/ heard is my little sister always tells me "good job" when I finish a work out, I always appreciate it.
    the worst thing is my step dad always criticizes me about me weight and stuff he thinks he's joking so I try not to get too upset about it.

    (It bares mentioning that I'm really self conscious about my bum.)

    Best: Your butt's really firming up!

    Worst: You've got a huge *kitten*! Look at it! It's never going to get any smaller, it's genetics. You've got your mom's butt. >_>

    Worst:
    From my co-workers:

    1. Where is the rest of you???!!!
    2. I hope that you are going to stop this "diet" it is NOT healthy to eat the way you are. (mind you, I eat 5 times a day)
    3. You really need to stop losing weight, you want to lose how many more pounds? You have nowhere else left to lose anything. Maybe you need to see a doctor.
    4. We put some diet coke, and snacks on your desk, we know you will break for that. (mind you I was doing a food challenge at my gym).

    My Mom:
    HONEY, keep going! I was looking at some pictures of you- in high school you were this big *holds hands close together* after college you were this big *holds hands far apart*

    Worst: "Awww you're so pretty now!' I was effin pretty before, ahole.
    "You're just going to gain it all back"... to which I replied "Oh, just like you did after you stopped Jenny Craig?"

    Best: "You're such a beautiful sexy woman" - Said by a very special man...

    Best and Worst : All of the attention I get from men. I've never had so many doors opened for me. It bothers me that when I was heavier men didn't think I was worth being a gentleman for, but now that I've lost 60 lbs, they do.

    Best: Here lately I've been getting a lot of compliments. :) Co worker- "You’re going to have to put rocks in your shoes so you don’t blow away."
    My mom- "This is really low in calories, not that you need to lose any weight." (125lb)

    Worst: Ex- He use to poke fun at my flabby areas. He told me I had flabby old lady arms. He told me I disgusted him and once I went shopping for a new outfit he looked at everything I tried on and told me it would look better on a skinny girl.
    My mom- "You’re not pregnant are you? You’ve put on some weight?" “That has a lot of calories in it. You need to cut back your starting to get chubby." (140lb)

    BEST: Everybody, "Wow, you look really great"
    WORST: "When are you due?" (I wasn't pregnant)

    I have had people say the worst one and it hurts because I will probably never be pregnant because of problems. I have even replied back something like "Nope, just fat." I hope it makes them feel bad about their comment.

    You should never ask if a woman is pregnant unless she’s in labor. xD

    Best: Wow, you're looking fantastic, You're absolutely radiant!

    Worst: "Well I hope you like having a saggy skin and wrinkles, cuz you're going to be really saggy when you lose all that weight.

    Oh I wish there was a way you could let her know why but, then again, she isn't worth the trouble.

    I wish I had. xD He was always finding ways to tear me down. I am so glad to be rid of him. But I know some of it has stuck with me I've always felt a little self conscious about shopping for clothes and I haven’t been clothes shopping since this incident. That was a good year and a half ago.

    The worst but funny ones are: 'Do you even lift?'

    And this one was said by my mother about a year ago... I gained 2 kg in weight and she said I look as though I've lost weight ... :embarassed: *Epic FACEPALM*

    I was told that I look pretty now as if weight means that you are ugly. I was beautiful before and after and am still sexy like I was before. Now, I'm just a slimmer version of the same person.

    A- MEN!!
