you don't have to give us advanced warning that you're a bigger girl...I think that most of the community is open to a wide range of normal.
Most definitely. And if they weren't, the maintainer team would have something to say about it. ;) I know for a fact there are many, many, many members here with bodies similar to the OPs.
Seriously though -- I agree with the above comment. OP, congratulations on your weight loss and good luck with it in the future! I know that "sticks and stones" isn't really true (words do hurt), but it is totally inappropriate for anyone to make comments about your body like that.
Although if I may go out on a limb -- generally, anyone who feels the need to publicly criticize another's body does so because they aren't very secure or happy with their own, and they get some gratification out of tearing others down. If it ever happens again, remind yourself that this is more than likely where those comments are coming from.
