    Years ago when my Dad was still alive and I was verrry skinny he say's to me "Sissy if you lose any more weight your gonna fall through your a*# and hang yourself". I cracked up and couldn't believe that came out of his mouth.

    My friends boyfriend saw me and told her "Shes definitely on crack. Don't believe her, thats way too drastic of a change". Kinda annoyed me considering all the hard work ive put in the past year.

    My former boss gave me the greatest comeback for those who ask 'how did you do it?" I tell them it's an ancient diet called ELAGOYA - Eat Less And Get Off Your *kitten*.

    Love it! Can't wait to use it!

    The other day, one of our truck drivers whom I see at least 4 days a week and chit chat with a few minutes said this..

    "Can I ask you a personal question?" (of course, I said..) "Are you losing weight?"
    I smiled and turned to him and nodded. "Yep, almost 45 lbs now."

    He seriously leaned forward (I was facing away from him) and checked out my butt!!! And then he said "damnnn!"

    LOL I just blushed and glowed all evening.







    lol, that's cute!

    "Wow, I never knew you were pretty!" or "Your family must be so proud *now*!"

    People just don't know what to say. I can understand it's awkward. . . but. . . really?
    you look amazing! great job!

    My husband lost over 150 pounds, still ended up having heart issues, his old friends caught up with him and asked him if he had cancer. No mention to him that he looked great and congrats on the weight loss.

    I also had a fellow teacher (girlfriend whose known me for a long time) who loves to joke around who smacked me in the butt and made some comment about looking good - suspect it was a firm type joke as she knows I recently started working out in the gym. It was pretty weird. She's a good friend so I know she was just joking but definitely a strange experience.
    She wants it..........

    Woman: What you trying to lose weight for?
    Me: Well I have some health issues and overall I'm trying to take on a better lifestyle.
    Woman:.... *Looks her up and down* You look fine where you are. Don't lose anymore weight.
    Me: I think I've got another ten or maybe twenty pounds to go.. Maybe more than that depending on how I carry it all.
    Woman: What are you trying to lose, your damn mind?

    Alllwaaayssss with the "you don't need to lose anymore weight" and "don't overwork yourself".
    Oh, and "you were HUGE before!" Yes, I know. Please stop reminding me (and everyone around me).

    I was told, you look great you are losing weight...well I'm glad because you are too young to be that big :/

    Not surprised. They always give back handed compliments at work.....

    And of course the compliment came from another big belly person. Sad.

    A co worker told me recently that now that I've lost some weight, my hips look bigger!!! REALLY???

    Haha. Yup. I lost about 15-ish pounds in university which took me from being the middle of the "normal" weight range to the very bottom, dropping 2 or 3 sizes. A well-meaning and rather blunt friend commented on it as I was changing and said with squealing delight, "Awww your love handles are so cute!!"

    I know she didn't mean any offense by it and I didn't take any. But it was pretty irritating that I lost body fat from everywhere on my body except that dreaded spot. And doing so only made my love handles more obvious. :(

    A coworker said to me yesterday, "I see you're starting to lose that baby weight!" Sounds great, except my baby is 14 months old.

    Another conversation I had recently with a client:
    Client: "Have you lost a lot of weight?
    Me: "Yes, I've lost 90 pounds"
    Client: "On purpose???"
    Nope, I just woke up one day 90 pounds lighter.... damndest thing!

    OK, that one made me laugh out loud
    add:
    "Here's your sign"

    My college friend said, "You have so much air around you now!"
    Just a hunch, but I'm guessing your friend has a glass-is-half-empty kind of personality. Can only see the negative space.

    I use to weigh 300lbs and I had bariatric over 8 years ago, I have lost a total of 160lbs - the most flattering/strange comment was .."do you have a sister?" which I don't.

    I was just asked by a family friend "You getting skinny?" I said, "Yes, I've lost a bit" and he said "what do you want to do that for?" I said, "To be healthy and sexy." He said, "You didn't think you were before?" He meant it in a very sincere way and with no negativity so it didn't bother me.

    What got me started this time around was when my grandfather said "You look like you've put on some weight. You should take care of that." It was his 90th birthday party and my brother over heard and asked what he had said. I told him "Grandpa just said I was fat." My brother replied, "well he told me I was a bad driver." We had a good laugh about it.

    It sounds like you have a very nice brother! That was such a sweet moment. My grandpa used to refer to me as a "big-boned girl... you are like your dad. He has always been fat"... "Thanks Nonno :\" (italian for grandpa)

    My weight-loss counter says 4lbs, but I have been REALLY slowly losing for a while.

    One of my in-laws' friends came over and literally said "WOW, you lost some weight since I last saw you" and I said "yes. Thanks," thinking it was over, but that was too much to ask. He is an older Taiwanese man (and all of their friends are brutally honest...I think sugar-coating doesn't really exist in Taiwan because they talk like this about each other too in Mandarin and Taiwanese), so it shouldn't have surprised me when he interjected "Because I remember, you were fatter before." humph

    Glad I left a mark in his brain... :\

    I also had a cousin say "how are you losing so much weight? It's crack right?" (CLEARLY joking...)

    I decided that if I ever get asked how I lost weight, I was going to say it was because "masturbating burns a lot of calories." Just because I've had people ask me that before and they got upset when I said eating better and exercising.

    Great answer, did you ever actually use it?
