A friend of mine said " Wow I didn't even recognize you! What are you doing? You look great!" ME: " just doing the good old fashion way, diet and exercise." HER: " are you taking anything?" ME: No, I don't take any supplements or pills or drinks, nothing" HER: " REALLY!!! WOW!!" LOL she was shocked that I am not taking drugs or something.0

I just had someone I knew and hadn't see in 4 months walk right through me and not recognize me at all. She was completely shocked when she realized who I was.

You don't look that old. - It's actually not that funny because I don't consider it a compliment.0

Way to discredit my hard work!!
This. I'm 47, but get this from my 55 year old sister. Yep, it's been sooo easy for me. STOP EATING A BOX OF HOT TAMALES A DAY! Dang... But no, going vegetarian was going to take the weight off. (Yup. Still, the hot tamales aren't helping.)0 -
I get the "It's easy for you. It just falls off". Erm...no it's not and I work hard on it every day, thanks. Funny because this happens all the time to me!0
-
I'd probably lose it if people told me it's easy for me. I admire your self control.0

My Mother told me that I looked emaciated, I took it as an insult because I know, that she hates me & is also jealous of me. With the exception of any hatred/jealousy, I believe that most of these comments/questions derive via being uneducated, without any actual malice and/or their education is mythical, taught as factual; so I never take an offense. It seems that most of the offense, comes from the daunting task of constantly being commented and/or questioned; about it & then having to educate them ourselves. Therefore it's the annoyance, rather than the comment/question itself; that's mostly offensive.0

"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.
Love ALL of this. You are halarious0 -
No funny comments here. I just get a lot a raised eyebrows when I tell people how I lost my weight. That or they switch over. I have 5 friends who switched to a LCHF diet after seeing how it improved my health and the relative ease I had in losing weight.
Perhaps the funniest comment was from my husband. He whimpered when I was happily discussing how my breasts have shrank/deflated so much. LOL0 -
"When are you going to stop losing weight? You know, as women get older they need to carry a little bit of weight or else they just look .......... old".
This is hilarious!!!
Mine was this... I have a paperweight with a picture of me on my desk from the 2014 graduation. A student of mine picked it up and said, "Miss, is this you? You're mad chubby there." Mad chubby, LMAO!0 -
A friend I've known for years said friend your face is skinny...I said thanks0

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!
I have a similar story. The mammogram technician/nurse had some pre-weight loss x rays up on the board and added the new ones for comparison and exclaimed, "You lost weight!"0 -

My mom, who has been trying and failing to lose weight for LITERALLY 15 years now, is constantly throwing this one at me. I tried, very sensitively, to get her to do what I'm doing and she totally blew me off "Oh it doesn't work like that for me, I don't have time to count calories, etc etc" and yet she is constantly doing "cleanses" and spending a bunch of money on new fitness classes that kick her butt so hard she can barely walk (she's 53). And whenever I tell her "But mom, I've lost 14 lbs ALREADY and I've really put in minimal effort compared to you." She acts like it's just no big deal at all and she makes me feel like my efforts, however small they are in comparison to hers (It's been effort for me, and probably for the average person, just cause I didn't sign up for boot camp....), don't matter at all. Like, I realize people are different, but CICO is the same no matter your age unless you have special conditions, and she doesn't.
I just want to scream at her through her excuses "Don't you get it??? YOU'RE the reason I thought there was no hope all these years! Your constant "trying" and failing made me believe that if you couldn't do it with all the work you APPEARED to be putting in, that of course I could never do it! And now you can't even be happy for me that I can do it after all?! Really?"
It's kind of interesting. With as much as I disagree with my mom about, we at least agree that counting calories and adding exercise is what works. We may choose different ways to do both, but it works.0 -

Don't hot tamales candies have gelatin in them?0 -
From my husband : "Honey, I've been checking out your figure so much lately from all the changes you're making that I didn't notice when you started getting gray hair! There's 6 of them already!!"
Sooo... when I hit my next mini goal, I think the reward will be a box of dye lmao0 -
The worst had to be when a co- worker come up to me to tell me how great I looked but she didnt think it was possible for someone my age to lose weight...WTF0

My favorite one was having a 92 year old resident tell me "looking good kiddo!! Your boobs are finally bigger than your belly!!"0

From my Doctor Hi how are y.....Holy @&$! You've lost a lot of weight.0

I've had so many funny comments. A friend's mother, after I had lost 100 lbs, asked me if I'd thought about exercising to help me lose weight? I've had people ask me if I meant to lose so much or if I'm sick, and I think the best one was being patted down by security at the airport and being asked if that was a concealed gun in my top? It was my ribs!0

Why are your veins so visible? Sure made ambulatory care lab easy0

"person" at the gym was apparently agitated that I lost more weight than he did in the last month. He told me I was so pale I looked sick and needed to get a tan. I told him that keeping my skin was preferable to skin cancer (he's VERY tan). He walked away muttering while I laughed.0

You lost 2 lbs a week??? That's so sad. It's unsafe! (funny remark from a poster on this forum.) lol*0

I have an ex who told me that I was starting to look like a Barbie doll...all boobs and legs. It was his way of complimenting and insulting me at the same time. Same ex started spreading the rumor that I had had weight-loss surgery when we broke up.
Lots of people have told me that I look taller.0 -
A few girls in my old social circle started a rumor that I lost weight by doing drugs. This hurt deeply because my father was an alcoholic and drug addict when I was growing up. It destroyed my childhood and family and had such an influence on me that I don't even touch alcohol, let alone drugs. The only thing that hurt more was that a few friends that I thought knew better actually found it so much easier to accept that I got so thin from drugs rather than hard work. I completely stopped associating with most of the people I knew after that. I only kept the few really good friends that knew me better than that.0
