You're getting a little fat.

If its a girl, get her a gift card to dress barn. Tell her you have a friend that hooked you up, and she was the first person you thought of to give it to.

Or you could try taking a picture of them from the back and show it to them. Tell them guess who this guy is. When they say who?, reply its you fatty.
 
"Hey man, you're starting to put some weight on. You may wanna watch that - it creeps up on you. Maybe cut out the sodas and fries or something"
 
Find someone with ass burgers and get them to do it.

...or if they're getting fat but not quite fat, you can make fat jokes and its all good because they aren't actually there yet. Like "Like I'm going to the vending machine. You want anything, Christine? Oh, a Coke? You mean diet Coke, right, lol." Keep throwing the subtle biting jokes her way and eventually she'll get self-conscious and develop an eating disorder. Mission accomplished! *high five*
 
My coworker told me that I look pregnant and therefore I must have a "health problem." I gained weight bitch. STFU!

I really wanted to punch her in the face.
 
Get really drunk and tell the woman, "there's a certain 'thickness' I find attractive about you."

If the woman says, "you're drunk!"

Reply back saying, "Of course I am, or I wouldn't be talking to you."

Or paraphrase Churchill: "I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be fat."
 
Well if it's a guy just plain tell him.

For a girl, that's a big no-no. You have to go around it, like start luring her for walks and just say you want the company.

I would tell them. Having Type 2 Diabetes, I know it's important to be at a healthy weight. I hover at 124-126 pounds (5'4) but my sugar is still way out of control.

If it's a guy, I'd just tell him outright. "Hey, putting on a little weight there". Guys are usually pretty good with this. Girls on the other hand, I really wouldn't know what to say honestly...
 
I don't know, but people keep telling me I look like I'm losing weight when I am in fact gaining weight. It's as annoying as fuck.

Maybe you're getting leaner. Muscle is more dense than fat, so you can look better at a lean, muscular 170lbs than as an out of shape blob at 160 lbs.
 
I had a friend who noticeably gained a lot of weight. From about 125lbs. To around 200lbs.

One day I seen her at my work and she said hi to me. It had been a while since I had last seen her so I stupidly responded with, "Oh Hey! I didn't even recognize you!" It was about a second later I realized my poor choice of words and felt horrible all day after that.
 
I just though of this, if is a girl you should ask her this:

How would you tell a girl she needs to lose weight/she is fat?

She will take the hint, or you can just tell her what she told you to make it even more obvious.

Hahahahhaha. Is it true that bigger girls like anal more?

And for the question, just invite whoever to the gym with you for a free guest visit. Ask if they're interested or whatever. Heheh even if you don't have a gym membership they'll probably get the hint.

Telling a girl she's fat is like taking her self worth and multiplying it by zero. The only worse thing you could say would be that she's looking 'uglier than normal' and asking if she's did something with her hair. So just don't say anything, because odds are, they probably already know.

This.

I just about a month or so switch over to a new workout program lifting heavier weights and I managed to gain 2-3lbs. Yet people were still saying I looked like I lost a lot of weight.
 
How about stay the fuck out of peoples business?

But if you really feel the need to force your will upon them then just say it, don't make it a whole thing. It's a sensitive issue for men and women so don't be a fucking asshole.
 
Tell him he's fat, if he gets all pissy say "I thought you people were supposed to be jolly?".

Seriously, I've noticed some fat people tend to say people are too skinny or don't have any meat their bones to average/skinny sized people. It's unfair that they can say stuff like this yet it's not socially acceptable to speak about someone who has gained a lot of weight. I can't count how many times I had to hold back when someone made a comment about me or someone else being skinny yet they have a huge gut.
 
I used to be "skinny fat" and while getting a family photo 2 years ago near Christmas my brother grabs me on a love handle and gives a little squeeze with the comment "what's that?".
He is a long distance runner/cyclist (triathlete) and is just plain skin and bones.

It was a prick comment, but it motivated me (took a year for me to start on it though).
I lost the fat and added muscle.
He lives out of province, so I haven't seen him since. I look forward to the day...

During College I was eating on the cheap and weighed about 115. Telling girls my weight made them feel fat.

Man. I'm in college and eating on the cheap too, but I've put on weight =/ What the hell were you eating?
Probably the alochol isn't doing me many favors either....
 
Haha I heard it all this summer from my friends and relatives

I don't feel fat so maybe I'm delustional when I look in the mirror 0_o inception


It's more of my face/cheeks that's gotten fat and I guess that's why they say it, I don't really care anyway

I wasn't drinking a lot, eating sandwiches and Mr. Noodle. It probably helped that I walked 2 km one-way to school.
 
Don't say anything unless you have a regular rapport with them.

If you do, then pull them aside and say something to the effect:
"Hey I care about you man... and you're getting a little heavy... I just want the best for you and that's where I'm coming from".

Some people need tough love, some people just need accountability that they're not getting.

I'm pretty sure they know... It might help motivating them to lose it if they're gaining it but I doubt all this time they sat there thinking they haven't gained any weight as their clothes get tighter until you said something. It was completely unknown to them.
Click to expand...

Yeah. Unless you are talking about a ridiculously small amount of weight, they know. Just ask them to on walks with you or something,
 
This is the internet, if anything some people want you to put on a few pounds cuz anything is better than the dreaded "sharp knees" syndrome
 
Drop subtle hints when you're hanging out like 'are you sweating?'



Or you can always feign your own weight gain and then whine about it. Then they might bring up their own...
 
Real Advice?

If it is someone close to you, ask them to help you maintain an exercise routine, or lose weight by running/exercising with you. Become the person who cooks, and chose healthy options for the two of you.
 
esquire said:
Is there any way to tell someone they've gotten fat (like, noticeably fat) without hurting their feelings?

Who has done this with some success?

Success being defined as getting them to acknowledge their poor eating or exercise habits and convincing them to actually do something about it. I feel obligated to say something because it's someone I care about a lot but at the same time it's not really any of my business. I don't want to care, but I do. GAF, help.

I doubt it's a secret to them. So probably go with your instinct of it being none of your business.
