Living with negative comments...

Fewer funerals for you to attend.

If it is a compliment, it is an odd one. Who talks like that? Maybe it is a regional colloquialism thing. Certainly would explain it.

You look like if you were on a dating site and selected "fit" for body type, you would not be catfishing any poor potential date.

Well done, you.

Its hard to imagine sometimes that we can live and thrive in a world where what others think of us is less important than what we think of ourselves awesome job ! Smile and wave they wish to be you

well, if you want my opinion i think you look great, but also on the very lean side. camera adds ten pounds so in real life you probably look thinner too. my ex used to have your build and he was always struggling to gain weight and everyone used to always say stuff like "get this boy a sandwich!" recent studies say that "overweight" people live longer now. i wouldn't take what people say to you badly though. guys like to bust on each other as a sign of friendship and some people are probably actually just concerned with your health. in any case i would take it as good natured ribbing..

I think when people notice such an accomplishment, they often feel that they should say something, but they're not sure what to say. So then, something silly or maybe a little insensitive-sounding comes out. It's likely not malicious, just awkward. However, *I'd* like to say: Bravo to you!! You must be so proud of your hard work and perseverance. You look amazing, and TBH, that vein pop in Pic #1 may or may not have made me swoon a little! 😉

You look fantastic, enjoy and revel in your success!!!

I think you look fine!!!!1 You have done an amazing job and you should be proud- keep it up!

I have this same issue. I switch different departmet at work. After I transfered, I started eating healthy, workingout and lost weight.
I went payed a visit at my old department and one of thr gils were like "wow, you look tiny, are you sleeping with someone dowstairs?"
No, I like my husband thank you.

You look fantastic!

Haters are gonna hate. They may be jealous. Or, as said, it may be meant as a compliment and come out awkwardly.

For various reasons, there are people who just somehow don't want to see us get fit. I hear the same things, and I've never been skinny in my life. Even born as a preemie, I weighed 2 pounds more than average for that gestational age. I've had well-meaning family members tell me not to get carried away with my dieting, to know when to stop losing weight, not to make myself too skinny, etc., and that's while I've still got a BMI over 40. "Oh, don't worry so much about it. You're beautiful. Go ahead and eat." It's not about beauty. It's about health. But try telling them that. They don't understand.

Screw them; you look like you are at a good weight and buff. Are these people overweight?

Hello, I am 16 days now into my training and really feel that i am heading in the right direction. Taking that its been sometime since your post, I hope that everything has changed for the better. I know that from my experience being very over-weight I would be very jealous when persons around me would loss weight. I think its not right that they would try bring you down, but wouldn't be surprised if they were attempting to only make themselves feel better. You look great! I hope your journey has continued and you BF is doing well also :-)
