How do you respond to someone who asks hw many lbs you have lost?

My boss and some coworkers have started to notice my loss. They do not know that I had WLS. They tellme, "oh you look great, how much have you lost?" Now it is nice to be flattered but I know that if I told them that I have lost 102, they would think , wow and she is still fat. I need to loose more than most of them way. Is it just that thin people do not think how embarassing this may be? I am not ashamed of how much I have lost, and I am proud of the way that I look, but I think that asking how much have you lost is equivalent to asking how much do you weigh. I have been telling them that my DR told me not to weigh but to measure, this is true but I weigh also. Is there a better way?
