Put your finger in your nose and mumble "you're not getting away this time."
Or drop an explosive protein fart and walk away.
They'll leave you alone.
Me, I would do both!
Congrats on your progress!!0 -

Why do you need to come back? What do you really gain in the end? Would it make you feel better to retaliate?
well.... yes actually. I'm not looking to put them down, just get them to leave me alone with their advice.
Time will be your comback because you are doing everything the healthy way, in time they will probably regain and you won't. Congrats on losing 1.5 a week. That is a lot actually. Keep up the good work!0 -

Tell them that you are working at your own pace and thank them for their advice. If you want to, can you contact their friend and ask some questions??
This way you:
1. Stand firm in your own program
2. Affirm the person's comments
3. Kindly let the person know that IF you are interested YOU will contact their friend.0 -
Ask them if they need midol with their opinion because they are being a b!tch. This works really well with men :happy:
Congrats on the WL!!0 -
Why say anything. When you get to your goal you can show them.0

What a bunch of flipping jerks!
Averaging 1.5 pounds a week & 20 pounds in three months is not only awesome, but you're doing it in a way that is sustainable in the long term.
Maybe the people talking crap think you have to be on some fad diet to lose weight?0 -

Literally the first thing I thought of when I read this title

How about an overly cheery, "Awwww, thanks!!!"
That would be my response, too. I'm not a smartass (or maybe I am, lol), so "killing them with kindness" is the next best reply. I would be one to be overly dramatic, "Oh, I love that I have so many people personally invested and routing for me in my weight loss! So much encouragement and support! Thank you, so much! I LOOOOOVE you all so much!"0 -
I just smile.
Unless the person offering advice happens to be a registered dietitian or practicing medical doctor who I have intentionally sought advice from I just assume they are insecure with their own selves and projecting that onto others so there's no need to validate that by trying to make them feel bad.
I used to run to work, bike home, take six martial arts classes a week while kayaking down class five rivers and skydiving in my spare time and people still wanted to tell me how I could get healthy.
I just smiled.
The majority of folks offering advice do so from the back of a magazine or internet posting. They think they are experts because they read or heard something an expert said.
I know me and thats all I need to know to be fit.0 -
Start talking less about what is going on. This can be a private journey.
When they do start talking, shut them down politely by saying something like, "Thanks for your interest."0 -

But my favorite is:
You and I should be friends.0 -

Literally crying with laughter at my desk....... :sad: :laugh:0 -
Just keep doing what has worked for you and pay no attention to the losers. Your continued weight loss will speak volumes more than a comeback ever will. Great job by the way!0
