I’ve lost 50lbs since 12/18/19.... not one person has said anything! Nothing! Haha Saturday I did back to back spin and ran into a woman who I hadn’t seen since November and she didn’t say a word. BUT! She tells this other girl setting up next to us she looks like she is losing weight. She lost 5lbs! 5 freaking lbs (good for her - not hating on her) and I’ve lost 50 and nothing hahaha

Haha I’m about to make a shirt that says “ask me if I lost weight” or something lmfao desperate times and such

commenting on someone's weight gain/loss is plain rude imho.

saying "you look great" or something along those Iines is fine and about as much of a compliment as I would give anyone regarding their weight, but when I am on the receiving end, the cynic in me wonders how much of a beast you thought I looked like before.

This and this.

I don't comment on another person's weight. For so many people there are too many emotions attached to weight, losing or gaining and it makes them feel uncomfortable.

I was once a committee with a woman who probably weighed around 400 lbs. I ran into her at a party several years later, and she probably weighed about 130. I went on and on and on about how much weight she lost and how terrific she looked. She finally said thanks, but it actually wasn't a good thing. She died two or three months later of ovarian cancer. I'm always careful now when I comment about weight loss...(and I usually say they look great (which in this particular case wouldn't have been good, either) - or don't say anything at all)
