I just don't tell people that I'm trying to lose weight, who I feel are overweight and insecure.. because in the past, they have expressed hostility, i had one friend who was advising me not to go to the gym anymore.. which makes no sense, I only lost like 6 lbs rofl..

(and she and i were gym buddies at this point.. .until she told me that!)

My bf and only one friend at work knows that Im reaching for a different weight.

I've had friends in the past who would try to sabotage me if they knew I was trying to lose weight, but for the most part everyone in my life is very supportive and interested in what I'm doing to lose. I just tell them what I do, but I dont tell them "you should do this or that".. my mom has actually lost a little bit in the last few months using advice I gave her :O)

Great tips!

Great topic, it's something I have to deal with all the time, well meaning people telling me to stop losing weight. I simply tell them this, "I have discused my weightloss goals with my doctor and he's telling me I'm on track, but thank you for your concern." That usually shuts them up. :)

It could be great information, just not information that you will neccesarily follow. I guess I go by the "choose your battles" mentality. Is it really something to fight to the death over? I don't think it's always worth the argument.

Great topic and great advice! :)

Ahh great topic! Example: My sister wants to lose weight but says she is too busy, cant budget for healthy stuff etc etc. I TRIED offering advice and she got all mad and she gets on my case/cracks jokes about me losing weight... ohhh family. How lovely.

@LosingOmentum: But thats lying.

I hate american social culture.

No, its not okay to lie. Its fake.

Great advice! Saying "Thank you, that's great information" is so much easier. You don't have to actually mean it!!
