    Walk on the treadmill at 2.0 for nearly two hours while playing on your phone the whole time.

    Invite them to your "It Works!" Body Wrap party and explain that they will lose inches in an hour!!
    Or.. show off your 3 month Body-By-Vi "results"

    It's pretty annoying when people don't understand, genuinely or not, that muscle weighs more than fat.

    Also, people telling you not to get too skinny gets old, especially when you haven't lost any weight in ages.

    Second part - wholeheartedly agree.

    First - am I missing something? 5lb of muscle and 5lb of fat will both say exactly the same thing if placed on a scale, yes? Volume and density aside, of course.

    When somebody says "muscle weighs more than fat" they are probably assuming constant volume, though they aren't explicitly saying it. If they then suggest measuring inches, they are explicitly referring to the difference in volume.

    Exactly. I understand that what people really mean is that muscle is more dense than fat. However, what they're saying is that if their measurements remain constant, but the variable is fat v. muscle, they weigh more if the muscle to fat content ratio is high. Because that is difficult to explain/convey, it is simply easier for people to say, "Muscle weighs more than fat" with volume constant implied.

    Inform you (when you've just done two and a half hours' kickboxing training and you've just got in, tired and hungry) that there isn't any dinner because there's no point exercising if you're going to eat afterwards, you need to wait until the morning before you can have a high sugar snack bar.

    That'll be an ex boyfriend, by the way.

    I hope you throat punched him.

    Tell them all about how your slim shake/miracle pill/only eat red things on Thursday/goats blood diet is way more effective than their 'eat well and exercise' plan

    "Something something shake weight/ab roller/fat magnets"

    Protein makes you fat

    Lifting makes you bulky

    Avocados are bad for you.

    What annoys me the most is when I have been eating healthy and working out and my husband says "lets just eat crap today and then you can go back to your 'diet' tomorrow." Its called a lifestyle change for a reason. Its for life...not just for one day! Do you go to a vegetarian and say "its ok to just eat meat today...its just for one day!" Hell no you don't! Then why on God's green earth would you do it to me?!?!

    Offer to spot them and then proceed to talk on your cell phone or someone behind you.

    I don't see the issue here. I play on my phone or log my exercise between sets. If someone wants to work in, they are more than welcome to ask.

    I'm probably about 6 months away from being informed that I'm naturally thin and lucky to not have an addictive personality.

    tell them you don't need to lift weights, because you already have muscle. (for real, a friend tells me this regularly)

    Talk about how bulky you get lifting weights when you're eating 1,000 calories per day and you're a chick...

    The struggling to eat 1200 calories thing annoys me too. If you have a hard time eating 1200 calories, how are you (checks ticker) XX lbs overweight?
