*When actress Gabourey Sidibe underwent weight-loss surgery in 2016 she made it clear that she wasn’t here for other people’s enthusiasm over her dramatic weight loss.
“What had been happening is, since I’ve been losing weight over the past year, people have been saying, ‘Congratulations on your weight loss!’ It doesn’t rock me. It just annoys me because I’m just like, don’t congratulate me on that,” she said in 2017.
“If you’re going to congratulate me on my weight loss, also congratulate me every time I pee. Congratulate me every time I’m burping. Because my body actually has nothing to do with you, and I don’t really need your support for it.”
Comedian Loni Love shares her sentiments.

“Some people over-exaggerate,” she said while discussing weight-loss compliments with the ladies of The Real (see clip above). “I was at this premiere two nights ago, and the lady said, ‘Loni! You’re so thin!’ And I’m like, ‘B—h, I’m not thin like that!’”
“It’s like, don’t overdo it!” she added.
But guest co-host, rapper Remy Ma, who’s dropping the pounds since giving up meat months ago, is all for people gushing over her progress, as it keeps her encouraged.
“I feel like, you don’t know how much weight you lost because you see yourself every day,” she said. “So when you see people that you don’t see that often, it feels good. Because when you feel like you’re trying, you’re dieting, you’re exercising, or whatever you’re doing to lose weight, and you feel like you’re not going anywhere, that’s what makes me want to stop. It makes you feel like you’re doing it for no reason.”
“Tell me if you think I lost half a pound or you think my face looks thinner on that angle, tell me!” she added.
Remy shed the pounds by switching up her diet and fitting in at least 30 minutes of cardio each day.
“You have to get your body used to it,” she said. “If you do a half an hour every day of some type of cardio, that’s better than doing two hours every other day, because your body starts to get used to it.”
