I get that alot. I too lost over 100lbs and most people say I look good altough others say I've lost too much weight. The people that say I've lost too much have never seen me as a thin person and I think it's a shock from what I used to look like.

Yes, I get this quite often from coworkers. Some are "concerned" and don't want me to lose any more weight. I'm in the healthy range for BMI and could actually lose 10 more pounds and still be in the healthy zone. It is very frustrating. I haven't snapped on anyone, yet. I calmly explain to them that I'm eating healthy and working out to have a better longer life and I thank them for their concern. :ohwell:

I only lost 24 pounds, but slimmed down from a 16 to a 6, and people would tell me I was too skinny, but according to my frame size and height, I am at the high end of the chart. My BMI is good, my body fat is low and great. Giving up dairy and foods that make you inflamed makes a huge difference!

Most (99%) of my friends are obese or overweight and just don't understand how what you eat affects your body...they are all hung up on artificial sweeteners and think that drinking diet pop is good for them. Oh, if they only knew the truth......and they pile on the food, carbs and fat....makes me sick to eat around them sometimes. They obviously don't care enough about their health to take the initiative and research and plan and make a change. It all comes down to priorities.

I just ignore their comments, after 2 years I still have one friend that is mad at me for loosing weight. Some friend huh? You don't owe anyone an "excuse" for loosing weight, eating healthy and exercising to improve your health!! You owe it to yourself to eat healthy, exercise and make the choice on a daily basis to commit to that.

YES! I hate that.

I got it mainly from the inlaws.... they sure didn't speak up when I was TOO HEAVY.

I get this sooo much...I've lost a little over a 100lbs and I would like to drop at least 80 more. Currently, I have people telling me that I am to tiny and I can't lose anymore weight...but not only is my BMI still horrific, but I am not where I want to be yet. I would like to get to 150lbs, so I guess once I reach that, people are going to think I'm completely nuts! I feel great tho, and I am happy with my appareance, although I would I am going to keep working on my weightloss.

Cancer?!?! WTF? That's a ridiculous conclusion to come to. :noway:

I haven't lost enough to get the "too thin" comments, but before I got heavy, I did hear that stuff a lot.

I was on the lower end of the healthy range when I was a teen, and everyone made sure to tell me that I looked like a ghostly skeleton walking around. I do see now, when I look at photos, what they were talking about, but when I also think about the actual things that were said and the way they were said to me, it is obvious that no one was *really* concerned. If they were concerned, they would have talked privately or asked to share a meal or talked to my parents about it. None of that happened. People just wanted to talk smack.

As far as public reactions go, I'd rather be heavy than be thin... I received so many more nasty comments about my weight when I was thin than I did when I was heavy. However, I need to be thinner for my health. Diabetes runs in my family, and I don't want to be overweight my whole life.

My mom says I'm too thin but that's because she got used to me weighing 165 lbs as a teen.

I can't wait for people to say that to me!
