Dumbest comment I get told everyday about working out is...

The question I hate hearing the most is "How would you be paying for this month?"0

The main thing that makes me crazy is food related, not exercise related. When we have birthday celebrations here (once a month) and we have cake, some of my coworkers will literally scrape the frosting off from my cake because I am "one a diet", according to them. I told them that I am fully aware of what I can and cannot eat and don't need them to a. police my food or b. make a big deal about it in front of all of the other employees. Seriously, I've lost the weight all by myself, I don't need anyone telling me what I can and cannot eat.
Scrapping the frosting off your cake?!? That's throat punch worthy! mmmmm frosting0 -
I agree I don't need a woman with muscles, all natural for me please!
I can't bear it when people say to me 'you're so natural, no tone at all, like a nice piece of veal'
Dont they know how hard it is to sit around doing nothing and starving myself!
Jeez!0 -
Diet related:
"Is that allowed in your diet?" "Are you still losing weight?"
Says the person next to me when I decide to eat something delicious (i.e. s'mores or chicken fajita nachos) that I have carefully worked into my day.
It's not a diet, it's a lifestyle change and I refuse to cut out the things that I love (I tried that with the nachos, but it just isn't happening. They're my favorite.)
Yes, I am still losing weight. Do you really think this ONE s'more is going to cause me to put all 42 pounds back on?!
Goodness!
Exactly what I was thinking...
LIMITING not ELIMINATING...if I want a frikkin S'more, I'll have one...and like you said, it's a lifestyle CHANGE.
Eliminating all of your favorite foods is only going to make you miserable...I'm learning how to balance the good AND the bad and it's working out GREAT!
Dumbest 'exercise' comment..
"That's not HIKING!"
heard this on a few occasions...especially if I mention my 'pace', speed and/or mph
I'm NOT walking on a treadmill, or along a paved road, or any 'flat, level surface' for that matter...
I'm HIKING out in the desert boonies dodging creosote bushes and Joshua Trees, up and down over 'washes' and trekking over a terrain made up of large rocks and deep sand. My average 'pace' or speed is about 2.5mph but speed isn't everything..my focus is solely on intensity and duration....NOT speed.
Call it what you want..
I call it HIKING
Having wandered about in the desert backcountry some myself, I would say that what you're doing is CERTAINLY hiking! :happy:
After I finished my half marathon, I mentioned to my husband that I walked intervals after 8 miles. And he asked if I could say that I "ran" a half marathon.0 -

Plenty of them out there. Move along.0 -

My husband was all like, "You're eating that?!? Have you thought about just eating watermelon?"0 -
success shuts 'em up fairly quick.
When I first started dieting and exercising, i was told by many people I was doing it wrong.....50+lbs later.....they shut up
Really, because a personal trainer told me that I could really rev up my metabolism with green shakes after I lost 35 pounds.0 -
"I look at all these people who go to the gym and I think 'why don't you get out and think about someone besides yourself for a change. Go mow some old lady's lawn. That'll burn calories.'" (That's from my sister) While I quite agree that lawn mowing burns calories and one doesn't need a gym to lose weight.... It completely burns me up that she judges us all as selfish, uncaring human beings because we chose to go to a gym. I get great pleasure in telling her all the people I see at the gym that I know she respects and knows are service-oriented people.
Please excuse me while I punch your sister in the throat lol0 -

You know what's the best? Whipped cream icing yummmmmm I love sweets, but sometimes that real sugary frosting is just too much, but that whip cream frosting... Its nice and light and just the right amount of sweetness...0 -
When people ask me if I'm on a diet just because I'm eating salad. Well I am focusing on losing weight , I enjoy salad. And I still plan on eating it when I get to my goal weight.
When people tell me I won't need insulin after I lose all my weight. Sorry, been type one diabetic since I was 2. That's not how it works.0 -
My husband is army so we only see family and friends 1 or 2 times a year. Someone actually told me "You look good but are you anorexic or turning anorexic?" That was when I was still 35 to 40 pounds overweight! Apparently, caring about my health, what I put into my body, and working out automatically makes me anorexic. >_>0

how much do you bench.... -_________-
if i had a dollar for everytime a guy asked me this crap0 -

I hear this ALL THE TIME! My grandmother, God love her, worries about everything. When I was 80 pounds heavier, she worried about my weight. Now that I've lost all of that, I MUST be anorexic/working out too much/depriving myself. There's apparently no happy medium!0 -

People usually don't understand the difference between type 1 and type 2 diabetes or even diabetes at all!!0 -

I admit to being one of those people that don't really understand it, but that is why I do not feel the need to comment on it

I found a great series on Youtube.com produced by Fitness Blender. I started with Tank Top Arms, a 9 minute series of well instructed arm moves with hand weights. I LOVE IT! They have targeted videos that are great.0

"Squatting heavy weight will destroy your knees."
(My knee pains vanished)
"Backpacking? Say goodbye to your joints!"
(Achilles's and ankle problems disappeared)
"Deadlifts are bad for your back."
(Chronic back pain from injury no longer exists' - my back pain now comes from long-term sitting!)
"Protein powders are bad for your kidneys."
(Creatinine numbers and other renal function work is almost dead-normal)
"How can you eat so much and look like that?"
(Usually said when there's free food at work. I save my calories for those days.)0 -
"You're getting to small, guys don't like that" -my mom says this
Yeah because her out and open lesbian daughter who has been in a loving relationship with a woman for 6 years is losing weight to impress men.... or impress anyone but myself for that matter0 -
My MIL is slowly learning that criticising my weight (either too high, too low, or coming off too fast) is a no-go area, so instead she tells my husband he's losing too much weight, every time we see her. He's 6'3ish and 196lbs, so absolutely fine, but more to the point, he has been that weight or slightly lower for the past few years.0

" I should go running with you sometime, I need to loose a few pounds too!" says the skinny girl.... ARGH!
"Where do you find the motivation to go running on your lunch break? I could never do that!" Well, you see this belly pouch and those flabby tighs? Yes? Then why do you ask???0 -
I enjoy doing a relaxing hour on the recumbent bike while watching TV or reading a book/magazine. I do this strictly for enjoyment after my regular workout. I was approached by a total stranger who said I wouldn't lose any weight if I didn't increase my intensity. He then offered his personal training services. I was dumbfounded.0

I was just told that I shouldn't be doing deadlifts and that I need to work up to them by doing high rep low weight exercises. That I will only lose body fat when I do the high rep low weight exercises.0

"All you ever do is eat and eat.. you'll get fat" ...

" Be bothered doing all that weight stuff, go enjoy yourself and have a life"0 -

Sounds like you are killing her slowly.0 -
Why would you want to (insert type of exercise here)? Because I want to be able to be here for my grandchildren, not have my feet amputated, not go blind, etc. Why would you want to just sit on yourfat *kitten*?
Girls shouldn't __________. Oh really?
We men don't like girls who have so much muscle. Yeah? Mine does, and since I'm not trying to get you I'm not interested in being your type, go chase a cardio bunny!
After you do all that how do you have any energy for real life? I have more energy wheni work out, not less, and considering the state of your house maybe you should try it.
And I loathe food police and people who try to push every fad diet on me. I used to wear a 24 and I now wear an 8. I don't need your help, thanks.0 -
Not really about working out but more diet related:
"You gotta ask yourself about all those carbs" ~ my (overweight) dad as I reached for a hot dog bun on the Fourth.
"Clearly, I'm doing it wrong, Dad"
HAHA I had someone over weight take the bread basket away from me and tell me I had an eating disorder (as in I was eating the bread)
Oh my gosh I think I would cut their hand off and continue to happily eat my bread...0 -
My company sells a T shirt with this slogan:
