My RNY has consumed others!
Have you told them you'd prefer to talk about something else?

Have you tried changing the subject? If you have and that doesnt' work, you might say, "hey, I know there's other stuff going on in your life besides weight loss. I wanna hear about it. Tell me about..." then bring up something that maybe they told you a while back or about their job or something that might interest them to talk about.
As a general rule, people LOVE to talk about themselves. It's just a matter of changing what part o themselves they are talking about.

I agree with trying to change the subject but they changing it to something that plays into the mentality of those around you. Ask then what they would do if they lost the weight.. Or what they are willing to commit to. Telling them you will join them on a bike ride.. Or running a 5k.
I am sorry its annoying you, but since they are talking about their own weight loss and not yours... I really think it's the whole.. Holidays are over oh man I porker up.. And now I got to do something about it cycle and now something directed at you.
Tonight I went out to dinner with my kids and their spouses and not one of them said a thing about it and both DILs are MO.
