Much needed encouragement
 
Today, my coworkers took notice of my weight loss and how my face is getting thinner. I was feeling discouraged because I've been at the same weight for about 4 days now, and the comments really helped me to feel better about my progress. I joined a gym in the building where I work on Jan 6. and I've lost 18 lbs. since then. It's not like I hinge myself on what other people think of me, but you know, it just feels nice when people take notice.

I know exactly what you mean. My friends have said similar things to me lately when I've not seen the scale budge very much, and it always keeps me going.

That had to just make your day!

I have a couple of people that will say things intermittently to me about my weightloss and it really affirms for me that the scale is right! It's the weirdest thing, but I don't feel so much smaller, even though I've lost over 40 lbs. That was part of my problem when I was living the large life. So, it really is helpful when people take notice and comment, and not just for my self-esteem!
Congrats and keep up the good work!
