I need help with some good comebacks. ~sorry it's long~

Hi AMOS family! Love you all! I need your advice on how to best handle negative comments I receive on a regular basis. In the past 18 months I have gone from 315 to 123 (I am 5'5", so that makes me about a size 6 or 8), and I am THRILLED with my success. I think I look fabulous when I look in the mirror. I get fabulous compliments from my immediate family (husband, parents, sister & brother-in-law). I have a great support system. My problem is this. For the past couple of months I have been hearing from (whom I can only perceive as jealous) extended family & friends that I look "too thin" and need to "stop losing weight". What galls me is no one ever said anything about my weight when I was 315 pounds, but suddenly now that I'm 123, it's OK? I don't think so! I am basically a polite person, and am just sick of calmly responding that "my body will find it's correct weight & level out" or "my doctors and I are pleased with my success". I understand that losing 192 pounds is a drastic change in my appearance, BUT the hurtful comments I receive come from people I see at least once a month, and I am tired of being nice. If anyone has any snappy comebacks that I could try, I would appreciate it. Thanks in advance!
