>have lost a ton of weight (390->240 lbs)
>have another 60-70lbs to go (I'm 6'1)
>every time I see my dad he keeps telling me now that I've lost enough and to stop and that I'm totally fine now even though I'm still above 30% bodyfat
>he's several inches shortes than me and is like 280
starting to think it's crab mentality... my dad wouldn't do that, would he?

>a ton
>390-240
That's 150 lbs, not even 10% of a metric "ton"

Yes he would. Fat people are like that

The fact that you were even allowed to get to your original weight in the first place means your dad had failed you. He's trying to drag you into the bucket now instead of confronting his own choices. You will make it despite him.

Unfortunately that's normal
I've meant plenty of fat people who lost weight and become less fat (they ended up regaining the weight)
they'd show me pics of themselves when they were "slim" and I have to break the news that they weren't slim; just less fat

You dad could be worried you are losing the weight unsafely. He could also have issues where he isn't educated enough to understand what weight loss should look like. It could be stupid shit like he thinks your skin should catch up before you continue on.

Just because he is telling you to stop you shouldn't assume he is trying to stop you for selfish reasons. There is the possibility he is pulling a crab bucket, but if you find this weird, probably not.

Bro I went from 300lbs to now being 170lbs, people told me the same thing at around 220lbs but you gotta stop listening to those people man, my family membes, colleagues, everyone tells me you look fine and to stop, luckily I never listen to those people and kept going, you have to believe in yourself. It's so normalized to have a belly or to be slightly overweight in our world, just keep doing what you're doing man fuck the rest. Also I learned many people are simply jealous. You will really regret listening to him

OH YES HE WOULD ANON, there is no bigger sin than making your children grow up and be fat, my mother was so vehemently against my going to the gym and losing weight(1kg a week), so I had to basically starve myself for 6 months eating the same food daily which made me drop those 20kgs, and I'm still having fights with her, however my progress(in spite of her bs and forceful feeding) made her start going to the gym, and you know what's the worst part? She ISN'T that fat herself, she's maybe 5-7 kilos over her perfect weight, nor did she grow up fat, rather she grew up anorexic practically, honestly without her I'd be way ahead physically than I am now, every day is a struggle with nutrition since I know the only way to not overeat is to not have favorite foods in the house, she started(subconsciously I hope)buying extra packages of my favorite snacks and junk food(she has never done this prior to 2 years ago)

Oh my sweet summer child

fat people have been trained to believe that visible abs are a sign of being unhealthy. your dad probably doesn't know he is being objectively harmful & is probably acting emotionally because he realizes that he failed you & himself.

Ignore them,my mom thought I was too skinny just because I could see my clavicles

It's not crab mentality if it's coming from your parents. They see their child wasting away, and while yes you are getting healthier, their "your child is losing weight from not eating enough to support his current weight" instinct is flaring up into overdrive. Now, as a man he should be able to set aside his instincts and look at the situation logically and rationally; normally I'd expect that kind of behavior from a woman. Regardless, he's not doing it to be malicious. Keep up the good work and keep up losing weight. He'll come around when he sees you at a healthy weight.
