This is not a big deal at all, especially to those people that have lost 30+ pounds, but today someone told me I looked skinny! And I was wearing a leotard and tights!

I've lost 5 pounds, 17 to go!

No big deal? I think it's a HUGE deal! Congrats

Congrats! Having your hard work validated is absolutely a big deal. Perhaps this is just me, but those comments also mean more to me when they're completely unprovoked and/or made by someone who's in good shape. A couple months ago a super-athletic friend, who happens to be a trainer, told me I was "skinny", and it was definitely the highlight of my week.

Congratulations! Keep up the great work!
I'd kill for a nice little comment like that to make my day!

thank you so much for the support! and January Snow, you hit the nail on the head - my work being validated was the greatest feeling.
