Default Accolades/Stupid Comments about your losses

Okay Guys and Girls, I thought I'd start this Thread because I've had some weird comments about my weight loss. Please share!!
For instance:
Are you on a Crack diet?LOL
Are you getting taller?LOL
I must say it is nice getting the compliments, but I had to ask my dh what in the world did I look like before?? Since I look so fantastic now, and of course he knows what to say which is you've always looked good..

I wish I got taller.. The compliments are nice, but I agree.. What did we look like before? I always thought I looked pretty good.. Now I'm fantastic?

This is what someone said to me a few months ago in the elevator at work:

"You know you look different.....right?"

Hmmm....

This is what my MIL said to me last week....

MIL "Have you lost weight?" Me: "Yes" MIL: "You will probably never get rid of your stomach , though"

leave it to the MIL to say something like that! b****! lol honestly, i think that some people start to feel insecure about the fact that somebody else close to them is losing weight. it may make them feel less superior/not the 'thin one' anymore.
but the compliments are always good :-)

It took 75lbs before she noticed? isn't that crazy, it took me losing about 35 before people who didn't know i was trying to lose weight started to notice.

My bf is so good!!!

When I just started my journey and had lost 5 pounds he then asked me how much I’ve lost and I told him...
And then he said: “I am so proud of you!” and I said it wasn’t enough and I wanted more...
Then he reached for a 5 pounds weight, made me hold it and said:
“Look how heavy it is. That is what you accomplished losing!”

What a great supporter he is!!!
I should do the same thing to him, but I am mean instead
I am working on it though

LOL! I busted out laughing after reading your MIL's comment. Sounds like something my smother-in-law would say! Maybe next time you can tell her to please refrain from speaking.

I would have had to say something like “yes I just suddenly sprouted up a couple inches, I thought that would be easier than losing weight”

Also..can you please please tell me what DH is?? Ive been trying for figure it out for like a month..im guessing dear husband LOL but I dunno

DH is dear (or darling) husband...you were right Bunny.

I've had no weird comments, just lots of "How are you losing that much?"

'Wow you can really see the difference in your face'

See i dont know how to take that, its either:
Yeah your face looks smarter, but the rest of you still looks like a fat panda beer
OR
You can see it on my face, thus my appearance is more pleasant to you now?

I don't know i just cant handle compliments.

Have you ever seen a grown man with brown skin blush? <-- thats me.

Haha...Nabeel...The compliments are hard for me too. I am proud of my weight loss though. Your face is thinner.

I saw a picture of myself today that I'd never really looked at. Easily the worst picture of me I've ever seen...worse, it's on facebook, so everyone can see it. I should use it as my nasty before picture...it makes me want to puke, litterally and I'm not self-conscious about my size. Seriously, even at my heaviest, I wasn't self-conscious, but yikes that picture. Doesnt' help that I'm standing sidways and next to my gorgeous 5'10'' sister that wears a size 2. Everyone looks like a barn next to her...but WOW am I glad not to look like that anymore.
