my neighbour hollered "OMG Robin you're gettin skinny again!!" Ha! not quite, but it was still nice to hear

Ha! That was very sweet of your neighbor!!!

My compliment came at a very good time. I lost about 30 pounds last year, gained some, lost some, gained more, and now I'm trying to kick the last 15 or 20. For the past month I've been trying really hard to be good, and was very excited about hopping on the scale when I got to my Mom's house for the weekend (I can't keep a scale because I practically camp out on it!). So I hop on, and after 3 or 4 weeks of work... I was down less than a pound. BLECH--RAMA.

The next night we had some friends over, and my friend Mike said that he couldn't believe how great I looked, and that I look better now than I ever have. I thought this was weird since I am about 10 pounds heavier than I was at this point last year, but ****, I'll take it!

I know you girls are getting compliments, let us hear them!!

the other day I saw one of my husbands co-workers and walked up and talked to him. Yesterday he told my husband that I was 'gettin' hot' and that he didn't even recognize me

"Gettin' hot", I've NEVER received that compliment!!! I'll take it!!

Lacey

Oh wow Lacey, thats a nice one!!! I dont know if my dh would tell me if someone told him his wife was hot

LOL Robin! I actually said "and THEN you kicked his ***?" and he just laughed.

An old guy grabbed my butt today, does that count as a compliment? It actually grossed me out...

we've gotta keep this thread going!!! Feeling good about ourselves is VERY important!!

Before I brag, and I AM bragging, I'd like to mention that during all of my school years 'Lacey Lunn weighs a ton' chants followed me everywhere I went. To finally feel good about myself is a miracle so I will shout it to the world and I apologize if it comes off as being snooty

two things, the first:
a girl at work, who wears a size 2 told me how great I looked today and that I was 'skinny'. Those words coming from her felt so great!!

the second and coolest thing that's happened so far:
one of my husbands friends was outside chatting with him and I had just got home from the store. I was making trips to the van taking groceries in and my husband came over, put his arms around me and kissed me. I thought this was really weird because he isn't a public affection person. After his friend left he came in and said "He's jealous" I said "Of what?" and my husband said "That I have you. He wouldn't quit staring at you the whole time"

Whether the guy was actually staring or not isn't important to me, but the fact that my husband sees me as someone desirable is just AWESOME *sniff*

ok, I'm done, now it's y'alls turn!!!!

Lace

Oh, Lace! That is soooooo great! That brought tears to my eyes! You ROCK! (and so does your hubby!)

1. A lady at the convenience store that I go to told me the other day "I thought I saw you in Wal-Mart , but you've lost so much weight I didn't recognize you". 2. The next door neighbor told my husband "Man, your wife has lost a lot of weight and she sure looks great". 3. My Mother-in-law (who has always been very critical) told me last week "I have to tell you, you look absolutely great". 4. My husband says "now when I hug you, I can wrap my arms around you almost twice, and you don't hardly have any butt for me to grab anymore". 5. One lady asked me "are you sick, you've gotten so small". 6. An old friend that I hadn't seen since high school said "you don't need to pass on the wedding cake,, you're skinny". 7. The lady where I make my car payment said " You don't have an ounce of fat on you anymore". 8. My son's teenage friends told me last weekend "I thought you were only 31 or 32 yrs. old". I know that I am not "skinny", and I am 46 yrs. old. But I am starting to enjoy these compliments and think maybe I do look pretty darn good now. Yeah!!!!!!

My husband said "you are now officially a MILF". Didn't particularly care for that one, but I guess that's a compliment as far as a man's concerned.LOL

Me too! Im sooooooooooo happy for you Lace. You have worked so hard to get where you are, Im so proud of you.

thats funny, because thats what I thought you were going to say about your son's friends while I was reading.

Great going tho, it always feels so nice when someone takes the time to notice.

I have only lost 11 or so lbs. I really want people to notice but realistically it's to early for that. Still I am begining to see feel it. I don't see it either. So for now when I don't squeeze into my clothes each morning but infact reach toward the back of the closet I will say to myself...They will.
ROCK ON LADIES!!
