    It's usually the same people who say those things, mostly because they don't know what else to say and are socially inept. (That's what I wonder!) I keep hearing "if you keep losing weight, we'll need to tie a brick around you"...and I bite my tongue because I want to say, "Oh that'll be handy for when i want to throw it at you"....I have lost 30 lbs in 4 months, dropped almost 3 dress sizes. I had one weirdo at work do the elevator eyes and say "did you start exersising?"

    I agree with the frustration, I need to lose 50 lbs overall to even reach the high end of a healthy BMI. Thanks for noticing, but no thanks for the awkward slightly rude comments!

    I hate it, too. I'm actually quite 'thick' and beefy, but I'm called skinny all the time and it annoys the hell out of me.

    Yeah 70+ lbs lost is an insane difference, and perhaps to those who remember me larger I AM skinny, but I'm far from 'skinny' - thin, yeah, but skinny... nope.

    I guess being called skinny will be more motivation when hitting the weights

    I am too old to care about name calling. Great place to be.
    "Skinny". Awesome. Enjoy it. Am sure you can come up with a plausible retort to it.

    People are unhinged by change - especially when somebody sets and achieves goals.
    Your success is a reminder of their failure.
    Be careful of who you hang with.

    Sometimes our closest "friends" enjoy our setbacks and are jealous of our success.

    Some people don't mean it that way.
    Some people are ignorant.
    Some people are jealous.
    Some maybe even stupid.

    Don't bother to worry about it, as long as you have learned to look into the mirror and like yourself, you're on a good path. I'm still learning that almost every morning.

    I can relate to this... I get tired of people telling me I don't need to lose anymore weight. I am not a healthy BMI, I still have a roll (lol), and ultimately it is up to me. So say, hey you look great, but leave it at that!!

    After I lost weight, instead of calling me 'fat,' people just call me 'balding.'
    I wish I was called 'skinny'. =\
