I love when virtual strangers at work (I work for a very large company) who don't even know my name, ask me how much I've lost....

I use the old I don't answer the question they asked response. I smile and thank them for noticing, and then I compliment something about them -- beautiful earrings, a nice shirt, how healthy they look today -- anything to refocus them. It works like a charm.
I'm totally not embarassed about my weight loss; I just do not need people that I don't care to share every detail of my poundage with asking me personal questions. So I thank them sincerely for noticing, and change subject. It works every time !

Excellent responses. Thank you for sharing!
Prior to surgery I had a few people ask me how much I wanted to lose or what weight I wanted to be. I tried a similar approach of explaining that it wasn't about the numbers but about being a healthier, more manageable weight. Thankfully, nobody pushed!
Congratulations on your weight loss!
