 I am not sure if I should be happy, pissed off or just laugh about this comment........

I have had several (more than 10) comments in the last month or so that I have lost too much weight........

I am very, no, sorry, make that VERY proud of the weight that I have lost, and I worked, (and ran) my ass off to lose it.

I guess I am a little bit amused by the fact that people are not afraid to let you know that they think you are too skinny but there was no way in hell they would say anything about you being too fat.

b.t.w.   I am NOT too skinny......  I have just broken the 180 mark, with a bmi of 24.1 and a 32 waist / Med - shirt and they can all go to hell.  I feel better than I ever imagined possible, am running 5 miles, 4 days a week and I am about to compete in my first 10k race in Toronto on May 1. (I have no illusions of finishing well, but I WILL finish)

Sorry fot the rant, but it just got under my skin today......

 Not Family......  They know and understand what I have gone through, and are for the most part, jealous - I come from a large gene pool.......

Mostly businrss associates, and a few other people.........

They're likely just not used to seeing you the way you are, healthy and active, and feel like they have to "weigh in" on what's going on. You rock, Sean.

As long as your Dr's are good with your weight, BMI and tests-blood work results...that's all that matters.

They are just being concerned, or just a little jealous.......

 Wow, you are doing an amazing job.  You just be proud of your accomplishment.
I think its hard for people to see a person large and then go down to a normal weight.  They were just use to the bigger person.  
They will get use to it.  By next year they won't even remember how you were when you were heavy.

I think sometimes people say that to make us feel good when we loose weight. They think we would be thrilled to hear that after being so large.
