After reading the thread on compliments, I think we all need to hear compliments more in order to be able to accept them...

So, just write a compliment to someone in the thread about how much weight they've lost or whatever...

Is this a stupid idea ?

RULE: "a rule is in order that the poster who gets complimented can't post saying "Oh, yeah, but..."" --From JayEll

Well, i8diets, you're quite handsome. I know that's not weight-loss related, but it's a fact.

Once other members post, I'll give them compliments, too - I just don't want to name drop because I don't want anyone to feel left out Fish for compliments and you'll get 'em.

Way to go on the 20 pounds NightengaleShane. It's awesome that you hit your goal BEFORE your set date. (I have the same goal date but don't think mine is going to happen.)

You look wonderful! I love the black hair too! (From your other post!)

Looks like you are off to a great start ih8diets. And what a good idea to compliment our friends here at 3FC!

Nightinggaleshane, thank you and I want to congratulate you on your weight loss!! You look good in your photos!!

and ItsAboutTime you are very pretty and well done on your weight loss so far, keep on going

Not a dumb idea at all! But maybe a rule is in order that the poster who gets complimented can't post saying "Oh, yeah, but..."

You folks are all doing good and are on your way!

Jay

LOL! I second the Oh yeah but, rule. Take it and LIKE it!

ItsAboutTime you're gorgeous, i wish i could have long hair like that but i always get bored and chop it off before it gets there lol. Great work everyone! and great idea ih8diets!

MangoKitty, 92lb is unbelievably amazing! And I like hamsters too so good avatar (im assuming it is a hamster..)

looks like a cat to me

hehe, yea it's supposed to be a cat. not that i dont love hamsters

I'm glad CousinRockingChair posted - but I would have left this compliment for her here anyway, whether she had or not:

I think you are possibly one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen. Honestly. I've thought so for months. There's something really awesomely stunning about you.

You know, it's easy to leave that compliment, but hard not to add "Now don't anyone say anything nice about me, because I won't believe it anyway!"

Well I think everyone here deserves being complimented just on being here. You're trying. Whether you're losing yet or not, whether you're at goal or just starting, you actually put something into motion, took that first step.

And I just had to give a really good chuckle when I read this. Just...think about it. LOL

LOL! That is pretty funny.

And thanks so much! You people made my day!

CousinRockingChair, I have to agree that you are GORGEOUS... you have this... borderline androgynous beauty... and it totally works for you. Hotness.

ItsAboutTime, you are also gorgeous and while you may 180, it sure doesn't show in your face... when I was 5 pounds LESS than what you are right now, I had a second chin and was growing a third! You look great.

MangoKitty, 92 pounds IS an amazing loss! Rock on for that. You've lost a whole underweight person!

almostheaven, I saw your before and after pictures awhile back (I believe it was you? LOL) and you look stunning. You've kicked butt at this!

And JayEll, even though your appearance is entirely a mystery to me, I have to let you know that I thoroughly enjoy reading your posts... you always make me laugh hysterically

"Who was that masked barnyard fowl? Why... it's JayEll, the Mystery Chick!"

heh heh heh

HeatherAngel, almost 60 pounds. I mean, really. That is SO GOOD! You keep on going! C'mon c'mon!
