What's the funniest comment you have had..

mine was - wow you can tell youve lost weight youve all of a sudden gone in at the sides!!!

I've had people ask if I was sick because my face had thinned out a lot. I was at my healthiest yet everyone thought I had some chronic illness. XD

My mother in law "how did you do it? Not eating?" No am not anorexic thanks.

"Jesus Christ! If you weren't so tall I'd never have recognized you."

There's a girl at work who acts like she can't see me when I turn sideways now. I never know how to respond lol.

I went for a mammogram and the technician came in after pulling my last one and was looking very puzzled - looked me up and down and said "did you lose a crap-ton of weight?" She seriously thought she had the wrong patient!

In real life, "It's easy for you." Ha! Losing weight has not been easy for me. It's easier, now, than it was when I started, but it's not easy for me.

On the boards, it was about not including junk food: "You will fail." That's a direct quote, lol. If you don't include junk food, you won't lose weight.

People are wacky.

My favorite is "you look taller now, are you sure you didn't grow" Pretty sure I didn't have a growth spurt at 40+

"73 pounds? you don't look like you lost THAT much. "
So, you think I'm lying or something?
Or my MIL, "you need to just stop losing weight and stay right there"
Thanks, but I'm still overweight and I have a goal.
My personal favorite
"I heard you lost a lot of weight! You must have really watched your carbs!"
Yeah, I watched them all go in my mouth. They were delicious.

Loved this!

Hubby commented on my "buns of steel" the other day! Made me laugh, but I was super excited that he is noticing my #squatbooty.

Another one I get from older women (I'm 24 - So I do not mean that in an offensive way, I just work with women that range from about 40-50, I'm the youngest!) "It's EASY for you - you're so young! It's harder at my age".

Way to discredit my hard work!!

What 'they' don't realize is that it is not 'easy' for almost anyone. It takes hard work and dedication to the goal to make anything happen, even weightloss.
I recall reading an article years ago about a women who, at 78 and about 80 pounds overweight, decided she wanted to live to be 100 and wasn't going to do that in her condition. She started a regimen of conscientious eating and exercise (walked four miles a day, went swimming twice a week, and lifted weights three times a week!)

She celebrated her 80th birthday sans those 80 excess pounds and six clothing sizes smaller! Easy? According to her, "Easy? No. Easier? Yes. Once you develop the habit, anything gets easier."

So, tell those forty-somethings that, if a great-grandmother can do it at her age, they can do it too. It's just a matter of deciding to do it and then... DO IT! And... NGU. (Never Give Up.)

"Funniest" comment I ever got after losing weight was, "Wow! You look nice today." My smart mouth came back with, "So... What? I looked like Sht before?" The poor guy looked really caught off guard.
Dumb comments? Only one that I can think of. After closing in on the "century" mark in just over a year and going from a size 22 to a size 8, someone asked me, "Have you lost weight?"
Falls into the, "Well, duh!" category.

I have only lost 5 pounds... 5 pounds on a 5'9 frame is not much, and my aunt yesterday said, "when I saw you today I thought, well surely that is enough!" This is the same judgy woman who says things to my sister like, "are you sure you need that second cookie?" some people just think out loud.

And some people just never learn to censor themselves.

Wow, how rude!

I am an older woman (51) that believes it is harder to lose now than when I was younger. But that doesn't make the statement to you true. Just because it is harder for me now doesn't mean it was easy for me when I was younger or that it's easy for you now. In fact, it means nothing at all about anyone other than me.

My favorite came from a coworker. She was walking past me and I had just cut all my hair off after losing nearly 40lbs. She stopped midstride and said "Holy cheek bones batman!" and then kept walking. lol. It's nice having bones under the chub and having people notice.
