"You look like your gaining weight" yet you have lost 5 or more pounds. Two people have told me this. Im sure I lost weight because my pants are loser and I have lost inches. Why do you think they told me this?

    Maybe because you're gaining muscle and so certain parts of your body are becoming "larger" but more defined? It might also be that you purchased new, smaller clothes that are a bit more snug and they don't notice that you've lost weight but that your clothes fit a little closer?

    To me, it sounds like some haters. Just ignore them. Keep working hard and doing what you are doing. :flowerforyou:

    the lady that used to do my bikini wax said this to me...while I was naked from the waist down on the table. I don't go to her anymore.

    Thanks for your answers.I didnt but new clothes decided not until I lost all the weight.Maybe their just haters. I doubt it was muscle because i took before and after pictures and I look smaller if anything.

    I haven't had that, but I've been asked why I'm doing leg presses when my legs were already "so huge."

    After I lost my first 20lbs, my mother asked if I was 5 months pregnant. Thanks mom-I was feeling pretty good until about 3 seconds ago lol.

    I think they would say this because they are *kitten*. There is really no other option.

    Wow, i thought i was the only one LOL, I guess we should all just forget the haters, and continue working hard. A few people told i lost weight or that there something different about me.Maybe they just notice a difference about me but did know if was weightloss because im not overweight.Confusing

    I haven't but I have noticed sometimes that after I have lost weight I think I still look bigger. Sometimes wearing clothes that are too big/looser can have that effect on your body of making it look bigger than what it actually is. So it could be that.
    Or, they are just pure arseholes. Which they kind of are for making comments like that anyway!

    Probably just jealousy, and it probably won't go away either. I used to think that by losing weight and getting in shape, my family would finally leave me be. WRONG. They just switched gears and started calling me "anorexic" and asking me "if I get enough to eat" and "don't get too thin or you'll disappear!" You just can't win. All you can do is ignore it and keep your chin up!

    If someone told me I looked like I'd gained wait, I'd tell them they look like they are about to get punched in the neck.

    Unfortunately people don't come with labeling on their foreheads, or else you'd be able to spot these LAME-Os a mile away. Brush them off of your shoulders and keep on handling your business.

    No worries :) It's frustrating because you will be buying new clothes fairly frequently as you lose but this is definitely what I have found and when I buy new clothes in size down (that fits) I notice my own weight loss so much more :)

    Wow the nerve of some people! I teach my children that what people weigh and how they look is no one's business but their own. Commenting on someone's weight is just plain ignorant even if they gained 100 pounds. I can understand how demeaning that would be. I am sure you look great :flowerforyou:
    If someone told me I looked like I'd gained wait, I'd tell them they look like they are about to get punched in the neck.

    This made me LOL :laugh:

    That's probably just jealousy. Or people just being rude. I wouldn't pay any mind to someone who would say something like that.

    I noticed as I lost weight, what I ws wearing was making me look bigger, creating bulge where there was none. Got to second hand stores and find some clothes you like, this will solidify in your own mind that yes you are smaller! Then you won't care what they say
