I think she was just trying to be nice about your weight loss without saying something about your previous weight or size. My best friend and her husband both just told me they don't know what to say to me. They are clueless on how to complement me. It's easy to say people should keep their opinions to their self etc but that is not in human nature. We talk and blab about everything and that's also part of her job as a server. It may have come out wrong, who knows. Don't take it personal

The only negative comment i have encountered about losing "too much" is when my husband express concern about my boobs!

Note: he is very supprotive and loving about my WLS

Take it as a compliment and kill them with kindness. "Thank you so much for noticing. My doctor would like to see me lose more. But, it is wonderful for you to notice!!"

Well I didn't get negative stuff to my face but found it was going on behind my back. But I regained a few and feel fine.    Can't believe a food server would comment like that unless she wanted to sell you more food! Seems like the best response is "my weight is between my doctor and me and no one else". In other words MYOB. But I tend to get too sarcastic so the kind approach is probably best. GL with those remaining pounds and lose ALL the weight you want to lose. You will be glad you did.  Diane S
