People are so rude

I was chatting with someone I had no clue who they where. I said that my goal weight is 165. This is where I was when I was happy with myself. And they said wow, thats still alot...how rude. There goal is like 120 or something. I was like well I have to go I dont wanna be super model skinny nor do I think I ever could cause I have larger hips. But who knows I could be??

AWWW Tylar don't take it to heart. Maybe 165 would be very heavy for them or they could be short or have a small frame? I know at 5' 7" I need to get down to a lower weight then most. I have a very small frame (wear a size four ring) I'm not ment to be as large as I've been for years. My goal is to get down to 130 and see how it looks and feels. For some this weight would still be too high but this is what I think I can maintain. It's all about you and nobody else. Just keep that in mind.

I don't do scales or tell anyone weight goals for this particular reason. I worry about size and body fat %. I have been bodybuilding for years and I am 5'8" and at 155/size 5 jeans I was a bone. Right now I guess I'm about 165 size 9 jeans and everyone tells me why are you trying to lose weight you are already thin? The truth is we are not all created equal. I am pretty big on top if you know what I mean so for me my boobs hold alot of my weight. Plus I have alot of muscle. Ignore the ignoramous people and do not disclose your weight goals to anyone else but us because people are clueless..I also have a friend who is 165 and she is thin..she is 5'9" ..I think your goal is right on..Lisa

That is so rude. Whoever it was is really shallow. Everyone has their own ideal weight based on personal prefference, height, bone structure and everything else that plays into it.

Big jerk!

Sorry he/she made you feel bad

hi Tylar, i understand and empathize with your feelings about this(i too would be annoyed and a little hurt).. that was rude.. but then i take it from the source and think well perhaps this person was having trouble with their own weightloss and are perhaps jealous of your motivation? or determination? and he/she felt the need to put u down in order to make themselves feel better.. ya know when someone insults another it really has nothing to do with the person being insulted.. the insulter is feeling pretty crappy about themselves in most cases.. so rest assured it has nothing to do with u.. ( its his or her own issue)..
im dealing with a rude thing too.. my bf told me i will never last 5 months on low carb.. and kept tempting me with my fav foods(even after ive politely asked him not to).. and i think to myself, what an ass! but then i turned it into a positive challenge and oh its on baby its on.. not only will i last 5 months, i will surpass it! reach my goal.. and then if he keeps this up, i will leave his arse at the curb! hehe
Tylar hugs to you
we can do this

I don't know if I would jump to conclusions that this person was trying to insult you. I think a lot of people say things before thinking and don't have any tact or manners. They just don't realize that you shouldn't say things like that. It doesn't matter anyways. If you are happy at 165 and she is happy at 120, then you'll be happy way before she is! I don't know how much she weighs or how tall, etc, but 120 could be tough to reach and then she will never be happy!
