I think we need to bump this to the top. This is another thread we shouldn't lose. It's a GREAT ego booster AND motivator!!!!

WOW!!! That is great, can't say that I have had any comments as of late. I guess it's hard for people to notice...Lord knows I would love to hear the comments. Some day though and then I will be sharing them here.

Dh told me last night "honey, you could be fat and still be sexy"

I'm so glad love is blind

A compliment with Fat in it...only a man That's sweet Brenda

I haven't had anything yet. I don't plan on telling anyone what I'm doing if they aren't living with me. I'll be curious to see how long it takes.

C'mon, whose heard something sweet lately??

not told, but my rear gets grabbed alot more than before

Well, last night I showed my 14 year old neice my wedding pictures from October 2002 and she said you have lost weight. I can see it in your face here. That was a nice compliment to get considering she likes to tease me about what I wear. I'm not really very stylish when it comes to clothes. I just like to wear what is comfortable. I keep telling myself I am just to fat to care about style. Someday I'll be wearing some "cool" clothes.

bumping this back up.....anything new said lately?

My sister said that she is finding it really easy to get her arms around me now and she greeted me by saying, "Hey, it's the incredible shrinking woman!" She's lost almost 15 lbs so far and it's the start of her 4th week. I am so proud of her!

wow...good for her. ...and you too that was nice

I'm constantly not being recognized!! It's weird to have to explain who I am to people I've known all my life!!

After my dd's basketball game I had to sign her out through the coach. So I walk directly up to the coach whose looking ALL AROUND me for someone. I tell her that I need to sign my dd out and she looks straight at me and says "Oh! I was looking for you and you were standing right in front of me, I didn't recognize you!!!"

last night, the clerk (male) at the gas station called me young lady! He was an easy 10 yrs younger than me!! I think he was trying too hard.....but that just might be the crappy mood Im in

I brought my "before" photos into work and no one believed me.

Well I'm waiting. I haven't told anyone other than immediate family and this board that I'm dieting. I keep waiting for someone else to notice that I've lost weight.

I have one friend who said "You've lost weight" But she doesn't count, because she has said the same thing when I've gained! So I'm still waiting for the day someone outside the immediate family notices.
