"Don't lose any more weight!"

I think when people say this it's truly how they feel. I hope their terrified that I'll lose another 15, that means they think I can, which is better than I can muster! Lol! Lately I've just been saying "oh gosh, do you think I can? I was really starting to lose hope after this last plateau." Ha! I can't wait until the weather warms up and I can be seen as a skeletal remain speed walking down Main Street. :-D

I had someone say to that me (I honestly think they thought they were saying something nice) so I sweetly replied with, "I'll stop trying to be a better, healthier athlete if you stop trying to quit smoking"

I got that comment a lot after losing 105 lbs. It's a huge change. I was only 158 at that time, and was planning on losing another 10, but then decided I didn't want to look gross.

So, with eating what ever I wanted & drinking lots of Whiskey, I gained back 35 lbs!!!! WHAT!!!!!!
This time, I'm going to lose that plus whatever I want no matter how "sickly" everyone else thinks I look.

You go girl!!! If anyone tells you to stop, tell them to put some weight on so a panel of judges can compare and decide which is healthier- them or you

I'm opposed to the promotion of weight loss as equivalent to beauty.

Having been a fatass, being overweight isn't beautiful. Normal weight - in a nation where overweight and obesity is rapidly becoming the norm - is de facto less ugly.

I never welcome unsolicited opinions about my body... I usually say "My body... My rules"

Good response. Especially when the unwelcome comment about how I'm too thin comes from someone whp os 5'0" and weighs 199 pounds. ;-)

Why do people think its okay to say this? People would never have turned and said to me "please don't gain any more weight" but the number of friends, family members and patients that say "please dont lose any more weight" to me is astonishing! I'm not even skinny!! I'm a nice healthy 142-145 at 5'4 and at the top end of a 'healthy BMI'. I dunno.....it just annoys me! Anybody else encountering this or criticisms for losing?!

I have had the same thing said to me regularly - I'm 51, 5 ft 5" tall and weighed 215 lbs at the start, when I got to 150 lb - which was the top end of what I should weigh, friends and especially my husband kept telling me that I looked fine, and I stopped, but was never really happy, I maintained the weight for a few months, then I re started and have lost an other stone and I now weigh 136 lb and I feel nice and slim, I would still like to lose another 5 lbs for my benefit and I will without telling anyone until I have lost it, then they won't moan at me.

You carry on until you feel good.

I'm mid way to my goal & when I was at my lowest point (probably 10 pounds less than now) I got that a lot, like "that's good! You should really consider stopping." Who are you to say? Ugh, it would drive me crazy! I have learned never to say it to anyone.

it annoys me so much. Even though I've gotten to a healthy weight, my weight fluctuates every day but i still maintain a good, healthy weight, my step-dad tells me i'm "wasting away" and no i'm not i've had the same weight for maybe 6 months! People who tell me I'm too skinny and whatnot are always pretty overweight. I have never once had a person who is fit and healthy tell me that I'm too skinny (excluding the time that I actually was underweight for a while). So really I think it's just their way of coping with their weight. They don't want to be overweight so people smaller than them are "too skinny" instead of them ones with too much fat. If everyone were fat, they wouldn't be. Not shaming anybody but this is what I have experienced because some of them later admit to me that they want to lose weight but most of them don't want to put the effort into it. Plus it isn't their body to judge and i wish people would not tell me I'm too skinny. I don't tell people they're too muscular or too fat!

People started telling me to not lose much and or anymore when I was still weighing 220ish. My collar bones begin sticking out at around 230, so no one believed I still had much to lose. They'd say I was going to blow away when I said I still had 70 to lose.

I really think they feel as if it is a complement.

After losing the weight the next hardest thing is grasping your size, I went from 355lbs to 182lbs in just over a year (14 months &172lbs lost).. these comments really ****ed with my head... getting called skinny blah blah blah... I never wanted to be skinny just healthy. Eventually I felt as if I was too small... so I started to bulk.

When I went back to around 220lbs I got comments (this was 2 months ago or so now) that I was looking allot better, more of a better weight for me. Which bothers me cause frankly why do these people comment on how I look... it's none of their ****ing business... it's also super rude... so tired of it! I don't like this weight on me either right now (up to 230lbs) and I'm at the boarder line of having to go up to a size 36 waist which I refuse to do!

I've had other comments asking if I am on "supplements" for my muscle gains which is kind of a compliment but then it takes away from my close to a year of hard work trying to add muscle to my body ...

FYI all these comments happen in my office... a few from family but for the most part it is ppl in my office.
