It's irritating me, people keep telling me not to lose anymore weight but for my height I'm still overweight and I want to lose 10-15 more pounds. What's a nice way of telling them to mind their business?
I would LAUGH (important!) and say "You're getting kind of personal, aren't you?" with humor. That does make people stop and think about how rude they are being, and kind of turns the tables without being rude myself.
I smile, nod, and sometimes laugh non-commitally. It's an opinion and just something people say. They're not going to stand by and watch and see if you take their advice. Do what you feel is right for yourself.

Ask them what they weigh & they will leave you alone. Say I appreciate your concern but I'm fine .
It's YOUR journey unless our Dr says so do as you please.

You can not care what they say but still be sick of hearing them say it.
I used to tell people that there must be something more interesting to talk about than my weight and then simply didn't engage in the conversation. If you just stand there, people get uncomfortable and move on to something else.
