I am not new to this. New to this site, that I might be leaving because of her, but not new to weight loss. And, in my opinion it was flat out mean. I am an adult and can take it, but I find it unnecessary.

Depending on how much you weighed before, it might not be noticeable to others until you lose more or get new clothes. I lost over 100lbs and didn't start getting noticed by people I saw everyday until around 50lbs or 23 kilos.
