    Ur not alone!!! My husband's family said the same thing to me. I chose to ignore it and reminded myself this journey was about me and growing old to see my grandkids grow old. U keep up ur hard work. No one but YOU accomplished your weight loss. Be proud and wear that body well!!

    This is something people I am close to joke about all the time....I never thought to be insulted....just like people telling me I'll get pregnant with triplets as soon as we adopt....it's not like they are wishing that on you....just sharing some irony.

    As a man, if some family member came up to me and said "dude, you're losing so much weight, you're going to get a ton of trim and get someone preggo!" I'd laugh my skinny (but toned) *kitten* off.

    Should have given them a great big hug and said something really, really nice or complimentary back to them. Turn their negative into a positive. Unfortuneately, some people don't have anything nice to say....period.

    Actually after having my third child I decided to try nursing the baby and I ended up thinner then before I got pregnant. I mean I had never looked that good ever! So... so much for peoples insults! I agree that the people who are closes to you are simply jealous.

    Don't worry about it. I see you lost 76lbs, there's just no way you can gain that while pregnant. Well I'm a guy but I'm pretty sure you can't even get close to gaining that.. I never heard of anyone gain 76lbs through pregnancy :laugh:

    I had a 'friend' tell me she couldn't wait for me to get pregnant and hoped I had triplets and ended up beng huge! She's alwaya 'on a diet' but eats crap all the time. I know she's jealous coz I've lost a lot but she's still the same weight
