My father in law recently told me that I could be a stripper, it was in reference to the amount of weight I lost and was meant as a compliment but it was a bizarre thing to say.

Whats your strangest weight loss comment/ compliment?

    Today as a matter of fact. The guy on the treadmill next to me complimented me on my run and I replied with "It nearly kicked my butt!" and then he said that my butt was really looking good and shaping up nicely. Thank you I think! It was borderline creepy because he then went on to say he had "noticed" me in there a few times. NSV sort of. Lol

    My ex once told me while pregnant....damn, you're never gonna get your old body back, are you? I suspect he liked my body before the pregnancy so I suppose it was a compliment in that respect...but really? Oddly enough, we're divorced now...LOL
  • That was strange. I dnt have a story to tell about my weight loss, but b4 when I was larger, some kids screamed out their car window at me and asked why did I get so fat. I was CRUSHED by that.

    ME: "Good"

    Friends: "How long have you been comming?"

    Me: "About 2 months"

    Friend: "Any progress?"

    Me: *Shows before pix on my phone* (There on my profile too)

    Friend: "Damn mike u got fat"

    Me: "BI*CH"

    Friend: "I meant u gained weight since HS but now you look like you..."

    Friend: "..."

    Me.... "Stop talking before i have to kill you"

    "You move like a cat."
    Since I really don't know what this means, I'm assuming its a compliment.
    Thought it could mean I sleep in the window all day....

    I got this one a couple weeks ago... "Wow! Your eyes look bigger"

    I took it to mean that my face was slimming down, which made my eyes more noticeable...weird.

    A female janitor at work told me I was getting sexy. I was a bit taken aback but English isn't her first language so I kind of got what she meant.

    Us guys can really beat up on each other. Before I lost my weight, I bumped in to an old friend. He said "What the h**l happened to you? You got fat!" I told him it was because of the syphilis. He squirmed for a minute before I started laughing.

    I belonged to a gym, and there was this guy who would come in almost every day at the same time I was there. I had never talked to him, not even as much as a "hi" in passing. I come home one day and somehow he found me on facebook. I was pretty creeped out lol
  • There was cake going around at work the other day. One of my co-workers asked if I wanted a piece. I replied, "No thanks, I don't eat cake...but I had some of the veggie tray, it was yummy." She looked at me disgusted and said "That is why YOU people stay so thin." I didn't know if I should take that as a compliment or not. I was kind of offended because I have struggled with my weight my whole life and work so hard to keep it off. I hate when people assume it's easy, or that I was never overweight...or never ate cake before lol.

    A few months ago I was having lunch in Hollywood and a guy came up to me, gave me his card and was like "You're gorgeous; call me after you lose 20 lbs because you'd be fantastic in ads and commercials!"

    I get what he was saying, but talk about a left handed compliment!!

    What a sorry SOB!!!! I would have told him to take his card and shove it. What an *kitten*!

    Last weekend my in-laws were over along with my hubby's sister. My Hubby's father looked at me and blurts out

    "Dam you are a doll now not a balloon anymore. Don't you go blowing up like a balloon again. You are so cute as a doll."


    WTH - what a back-handed compliment.
