    One of the things that upsets me more is the people who started being NICE to me only after I lost weight.

    Now that I'm a little skinnier, it's like they think I'm a better person, too (this is down from my heaviest weight which is about 50 pounds up from where I am now).

    Those people can take a long walk off a short cliff... my brain is the same no matter what I look like.

    mostly I get a lot of great support. My husband is my biggest cheer-leader. :) My kids think it's great. My sister is proud. Some of my clients have remarked that I look great. My mom, on the other hand, is worried I won't stop losing, which I understand because eating disorders have wreaked havoc on our family in the past. But truly, I just want to be healthy. As I lean out now I will probably look smaller, but I don't think I should really lose much more. I just love the high I get from exercising and I do not want to stop!

    One of my friends had asked me to show her my before and after picture on facebook. she is losing weight too and wanted to see how I had done so far. Everyone knows I am losing weight. I post about it sometimes. So I put up my before and after picture and of coarse there were nice comments from my family. But this morning my aunt had posted " I have lost 25 pounds and reached my goal weight, just saying" I commented saying good job and everything. But I got the feeling that she was mad that I posted my before and after pictures. So I say take everything with a grain of salt. Keep up your hard work.

    It never ceases to amaze me how some people need to make negative comments about others to feel good about themselves. You deserve to be very proud of your accomplishments and congratulations on your success.

    WELL SAID!
    Starting at 225, I reached my goal of 180 a month or so ago. I have now dropped a few pounds below that. I am starting to get comments like, "great job on the weight loss, but enough already." Several people now think if I lose more weight I will be too skinny.

    So, I think people are always going to have an opinion and I think you have to do your best not to let it bother you. At the end of the day, the person who needs to be content with your body is you.

    Best of luck!!!

    When I lose weight it shows in my face first - I look very skinny in my face but my butt is still big. :laugh: So, yeah, I've had people say, "You're getting so skinny". I haven't even lost very much weight!!

    I'm saddened by some of the comments people have received, but I agree that it is jealousy.

    Enjoy those skinny pants!! You worked hard for them. :wink:

    I am with you in this one. I also loose weight in my face first but not in my hips. When people tells me that I am getting too skinny, and tell them that they are looking at the "wrong end" of my body. I turn around and show them my "other fat side" and shut them off.

    I must say to let it go and they must be jealous that they can't accomplish what you have.

    I haven't lost much recently, but a few years ago I lost about 40 lbs. Some in my family told me they were worried because i was too skinny and lost too much weight (I got down to 139 and I am 5'5"). Then I was shopping with a friend and I bought a size 6 pants (she wore a size 8), she said to me, "I can't believe YOU are wearing a smaller size than ME." Like she always expected me to be fat!

    Anyone who would refer to someone at 160 pounds as "my fat sister" should be slapped upside the head. =)

    I find that people who try fad diets tend to have that attitude towards me. What they don't realize is that you're dedicating your time and energy towards making your life healthier. It includes discipline with food and exercise. It also takes longer and is harder than people think because they don't see what happens behind closed doors.

    Keep your head high and be proud of your accomplishments!

    However many negative comments you get from others, you get heaps more positive ones on here, and probably those being negative probably don't have the courage or manners to compliment you. Maybe as by complimenting you, it makes them feel bad about themselves....screw them! They are probably projecting their negative self-image onto you. My cousin has lost 11st on her diet and looks gorgeous and so much healthier. Yes...i am jealous, but I am also happy for her and not vindictive so I'd never put her down for it, some people are just A*%eholes!!!!!"

    You have done brilliantly and should be proud of yourself, and screw the people who make comments. As long as you feel happy, confident and healthy, then it doesn't matter what others say.

    I'm looking forward to wearing skinny jeans....one day! In the mean time, enjoy yours! Keep looking gorgeous and make them crazy with envy!!
