Yesterday at work a guy stopped me in the hall and commented on my being the "queen of walking" -- then he told me I am looking good! That is the first time someone noticed who didn't know I was trying to lose! LOL I am not sure if he could really tell the difference or just saw me walking and was being nice. But it was still good to hear!!! To me the difference is huge but I know it doesn't look that way yet to other people. Still, I'll take what I get and be grateful LOL
Thanks everyone! And Lala I can't wait to hear your friend's reaction! Be sure to post a big NSV LOL
I know I am the place where it is really going to start showing soon... I can tell a huge difference myself but others don't notice. It will happen LOL
Misti that is awesome!!! I know what you mean about people seeing you walk all the time and not knowing if the compliment is a real one or just one they feel like they should give you to encourage you to keep up the good work. I walk everyday at lunch too and wonder sometimes if the compliments are real or not...but they feel great all the same so i'll take them. and you should too.
good for you!!! enjoy your compliments. I know they are well deserved compliments!!!
Yay for you, Misti! You are such a fantastic person you definitely deserve to have your efforts acknowledged. And something tells me there is going to be a snowball effect after this!
Yay!! That's such a nice feeling. I noticed you live in Seattle. I LOVE that area!!! I used to live on Whidbey Island and would be back in a second if I could afford more than a loaf of bread up there. What a gorgeous city to do your walking in!!
Hey thanks everyone! And for sure... I will take the compliments wherever I can get them!!
LOL Happy... I sure know what you mean about the expense out in this area... sure is worth it though to live in such a gorgeous place! I actually live in Bothell which, having been on Whidbey, you will actually know where is probably LOL. But you are right... certainly beautiful place to go walking and LOL I sure get my legs a workout with all the hills!!!
Congrats!!! The same thing happend to me at work yesterday. It makes you feel soo good. Especially when that person doesnt even know you are trying to lose the weight. Then you dont they just arent saying it to be nice.
I always think it's a great achievement when a *guy* notices!!! Maybe I'm just a bit jaded, but I think guys walk around with their heads in their newspapers a lot of times, and a compliment from a guy is really something!!!
That’s great Misti, keep it up and the compliments will be pouring in! Exercise really does have a way of brightening up your complexion and the way you carry yourself, I’m sure he meant it sincerely. If you’re feeling good you darn tootin’ know you look good too.
The first comment I got at work about losing weight was also from a male co-worker, but I work in an office full of gay guys so I guess they might be a little more observant than your average men.
Oh, and I got called “juicy” yesterday by a friend-of-a-friend, I’m not really sure what he meant by that and you know there was some wine involved, I guess I’ll just take it as a compliment.
LOL yes I agree, having a guy notice IS more significant! This guy was sharing too because he is battling the bulge also, and he is going to a gym, etc.
Somebody Noticed! Yay!
But it was still good to hear!!! To me the difference is huge but I know it doesn't look that way yet to other people. Still, I'll take what I get and be grateful LOL
