Compliments are coming

at the start of this week I became 13 stone something (between 182 and 195 pounds) for the first time since I don't know when - I have since had 5 people at work and a neighbour congratulate me (you look "great", "younger", "fitter" - that encourages me to keep going - what keeps everybody else on track ?

what keeps everybody else on track ?

My own mule-headed determination.:laugh: My family is very supportive, but no one else I know has said anything. Most of my friends are more out of shape than I am, so I guess they either haven't noticed, or are embarrassed to comment. I used to have "someone notice" as one of my goals, but took it off because this is for me, not them. Receiving a compliment would be nice though. 30 lbs over 6 months is probably too slow for anyone to see the difference.

I really wish I could inspire some of my friends to lose weight and get active, but they need to make that choice on their own.

one of my colleagues noticed I had lost weight slowly - 36lbs over 6 months - it crept on slowly over 25 years, I reckon I will keep it off now with my regular exercise regime.

Whoa! 36 pounds! That is great and inspiring for someone who is just starting the whole "diet thing". Thank you for sharing your success!!!!
