Oh Oh OH I have another!!! My gram: I have some clothes for you. I hope you don't get offended that they are 'old lady clothes'. ME: Oh, gram, you have very good taste. I'm sure they are not OLD LADY CLOTHES. My gram: Oh good. They are just SOOO big for me, when I wore them I was so fat! But now that you are losing weight,…

YES!!! This is exactly what I meant with this thread... MOST times there is an intent of niceness and compliment, but the WAY that things get said are what make these "comments" or "compliments" too funny not to share :bigsmile:

Knowing that there are even more men out there that think this way... I am soooo glad that I have mine :laugh:

And sadly.... enter all those that feel WE, the people who get the most RIDICULOUS comments, don't know how to take a compliment. Please. That is not it at ALL in most cases. I LOVE compliments. Bring em on! They keep me going for sure! But... Don't tell me that my husband must be happy I'm losing weight, like I wasn't…

ALL of these have either left me laughing due to the total douchebaggerie of some people, or shaking my head in complete horror at the again...douchbaggerie of some people! I have also been asked if I "Forgot how to cook"... I had NO idea what this person meant at first. It was the most random thing... running down the…

Super Huge Bonus Points go to you for the use of Asshat! Love that term! and very fitting in this case too! :)

:explode: I HATE the anorexic comments... especially because I am 166 pounds and 5'3" for goodness sake! "You are getting too skinny" HA!!! Really? Compared to WHAT? Having an affair with MYself is how I would respond to that one! :laugh:

People are crazy.. beautiful bladder?!?! Festive birthmarks?!!? Love it! Makes you wonder if people forget to think before they open their mouths! Ha!

I bet you were shaking your head on that one for sure :laugh:

I agree that arms over the chest or grabbing a sweater (even in the dead of summer) would give a good "Cut the $h*t" hint :bigsmile:

Sweetness, this has to be a troll post... otherwise the OP has some SERIOUS issues with respect and family. The fair is in town and the crazies are definately out and about! :laugh: :laugh: Too many inconsistancies in the story...bad back vs adult play room... a boy and a girl sharing a room so that she can have a sex…

SInce I will be old one day... I hope to HECK that is NOT true.

I had found that I was CONSTANTLY saying, feeling, or writing the word AWESOME. I truly believe that each and every one of us needs to remember how AWESOME we truly are for taking the steps needed to make us happier/healthier people. My first name is Amber, middle name Lee...soooo AwesomelyAmber was born :laugh:

It is a concern if she wants to know the reason that people do it to further her own progress. Same as if I asked why in the world people would want to 'clean eat' or be a vegetarian... We ask questions to better understand things. I didn't read even ONE time the OP asking people to STOP eating their exercise calories.…

EVER EVER EVER... :explode: I'm so sorry too and am glad that you found MFP. :flowerforyou:

Now this^^ I can understand and appreciate. Thank you for clarifying your thoughts. We are all entitled to our opinions, it's just when our opinions become out and out rudeness that I take offense...

Yikes... not to sound all self-righteous and full of unicorn pee and glitter or anything but please dear God no. I don't want anyone "shamed" into anything... I'm sure I talk about people, I'm a liar if I say I don't ever. But to talk DOWN about or to people is NEVER ok. Kind of the point of the post... don't call people…

SUPER ANSWER! :laugh:

Dear Wolf... did you really "huff and puff and blow the house down"? or did you really just use a wrecking ball???

Bubble baths... tub full of bubbles, drink on the edge of the tub, a bottle of nail pollish and relaxing music. Dreaming of it now!

So very sorry to hear of your grandparents but it seems that it has helped you to be a healthier person :flowerforyou: One of the reasons for this post was that I was told last night that I brag too much about my loss on FB. Reality is that once a week (Friday, weigh day) I post my loss for the week and total weight lost…

It's not something that consumes me or anything, but every now and then my tooth gap bugs me... :)

Please understand, I am not saying that people DO NOT call people fat, or DO NOT say rude things... I'm saying that SOMEHOW 'we' find it acceptable to tell people that they are 'too skinny', or the other comments, BUT if person A says to person B that they are 'too fat' you can bet that person C is going to tell person A…

YES!!!! Thankfully I can honestly say that this is how I look at things 99% of the time! but darn if there isn't that ONE PERCENT left!:laugh:

You are all right... yes it does make a difference HOW it is said for sure! mnishi... you know I heart you bunches! :)

Being here over a year, I have seen your blogs and posts and don't believe that I have EVER seen this before pic!!! Amazing! Gives me severe hope... especially because I have that pink polka dot bathing suit!!! I love it and it is already getting too big! Whoo hoo! You are an inspiration for sure! :drinker:

Me (yourself): Amber Oddest thing about me: that there is nothing odd??? :tongue: Best thing about me: I'm awesome. My biggest flaw: Telling people just what I think. I hate: fake people I love: My family I want: to be healthy I regret: lost friendships... only one. Arrogance: ? Selflessness: should be more popular…

I started last year at the end of July... my goal was to be AVERAGE and a size 14 :laugh: Now, a year later, I am wearing a belt with the 14s and wear a size 12 comfortably. I started at 200lbs, 5'3", and am now at 166 with a 'maybe, guess we'll see' goal of 150. I drink a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day, work out (be…

Wonderful!!! Love that you can see the difference in the colors of your clothes!!! Cool!

THIS was my exact thought too!!! Followed by "Too bad so sad... I wish I could see the look on her face when you get together after reaching your goal!!!"
