    I'm the type of person that is often too honest. I would tell them how much I weigh, then explain to them that I have to lose 30-50 lbs to be in at a healthy weight. A lot of people seem very surprised when I tell them how much I weigh, apparently I carry it well. And I don't have a problem with the comments after that. Then if they still have comments I bust out the lovely belly flap that my pregnancy left me with, then they either leave or shut up. Hehe:bigsmile:

    Well maybe too honest and no shame:tongue:

    I am another person that weighs more than they look. People are surprised when they here my weight and dress size. I tell them that I want to be fully confident in a two piece!!! An extreme goal I know, but I am going to do it. It's either that or open up a bakery for all the rolls I got going on in my back.

    You kinda have to consider the source. Some people truly don't mean anything by it. And others...well, you know they are just jealous and like someone else had mentioned, probably afraid you will be smaller than them.

    As a over fifty expert!!!! (ha ha)..no matter what, you will never think you are skinny. Look at old pictures...wow! I looked great THEN..but then I didn't think so! Find a size that you think others look good and set that size as your goal. I always want to be a size 8...but now....over 50...staying in a 10/12 comfortably would be great!

    If they are smaller than me I say, "well let's trade bodies then!" They usually don't have anything to say back to that. If they are bigger than me I say, "if I'm eating as healthy as a I would like and running as many miles as I want there's no way I won't get smaller." They usually take a minute to try to process that. Lol. Other people I just ignore.

    I think you should do what makes you happy. As long as your eating well and not starving yourself and are overall healthy then its fine. In some cases people are just jealous because it takes alot of work to loose what you have the commitment and dedication paid off for you and some people just don't have what it takes. Its a great motivation to see what you have done for me and many others on here. Don't listen to any negative comments keep positive, only you know what is right for you.

    If you are not happy with your weight...It doesn't matter who else is, you will still be unhappy...

    so ignore everyone who says you shouldn't lose more weight...

    I started responding by telling them my BMI and a sentence or two about where I'm at within that measurement. Each person I've told that to has never given me grief about my goal since telling them. What are they going to do, argue that the BMI guides are wrong.

    I tried this. I got told that the BMI guidelines were wrong. I've now run out of come backs and the inspiration to justify my weight loss. So I don't. I just tend to say it's my body and I'm healthy.

    I deal with my entire family telling me not to shed anymore weight and I too have brought up BMI and they have also said "oh those are wrong, dont go by those"...so now I basically either dont speak to them about how much more weight i want to shed or when they bring it up i just say thank you but its my body.
