that you're getting more looks from the opposite sex lately?
I have and it feels great!
I was walking around the lake last night and I had to keep passing this guy fishing and he kept looking at me when I went by. Or, wait a minute, maybe he was looking at my boobs? hahaha, they were bouncing while I held my stomach in and strutted by! either way, 25 pounds ago, I don't think I would have gotten a second look!
I'm also noticing it in the car (since my face thinned out) Yeah!!
Really boosts moral!

    Yeppers, we watch you ladies to make you feel good. :devil:

    Even as a guy I am starting to get a little of that. I do online personal to find that special some one, and basicly just get shut out due to my weight, now that I dropped 40lbs *with lots more to go* I find I am getting responses now, since I update my pictures every so often. Even had date last Saturday and hopefully more to come.

    Funny how you hit that fine line where others start to notice.

    It went very well, we started it off with a nice walk and I was able to actually keep up, then dinner and lots of conversation.

    For the longest that was my biggest fear, not being able to even stand for very long, now I can keep up with no problems at all. Guess thet 2 hrs a day in the water aerobics is paying off.

    Hopefully as my weight gets less, my dates will get more, unless of course I can find that special one.

    Thanks for asking.

    I have only lost 2lbs since i came on here but since last year i have lost 12lbs .. but i am toning up alot now
    yesterday my mother and 3 friends separately all said out of the blue I had lost alot of weight and today my hairdresser friend commented too .. I was completely blown away because none of them especially my mum would say it just to make me feel better unless they thought iwas true, and they were genuinely surprized as i took my coat off.. it was a fab feeling :smile:

    Hard to tell.

    My mindset is still "he's thinking I'm a fat *kitten*" mode. :laugh:

    I got whistled at yesterday and apparently these 2 customers were staring at my butt like crazy as I was walking in front of them because my co-worker (a guy) got mad at them ad was like "I hate it when guys stare like that. It's so rude. They're just drooling over you" Even if it is rude it still makes me feel good :smile: But yeah I've been noticing a lot more looks :happy:

    Yeah, don't get me wrong, I'm happily married, but it's gives you a little boost when someone else is looking too!

    Hi

    Someone had mentioned to me that I just seem different, walk differently
    I think since some of us have lost weight, we are more confident with ourselves and handle ourselves differently..just another reason why we may be getting noticed more..besides the fact that we are all smokin'
    LOL
    :)

    I've only lost a few lbs so far, but when I was in college I dropped down about 20lbs thanks to playing sports. I was shocked to find that people I had seen around on campus were suddenly interested. It was a great feeling, but I don't think I knew how to handle all the extra attention.

    I'm actually pretty nervous about hitting that point, again. I love getting noticed, but it is kind of hard to go from practically invisible to noticed by lots o' men. It can be scary.
