Christmas NSV

I have lost about 20 pounds so far, hopefully on my way to around 100 total. I saw many relatives this past weekend, a lot of them I see only a couple times a year. One aunt gave me a hug and whispered to me that I look great. Another aunt was talking to me away from other people (she didn't want to say anything in front of everyone else) and said the same thing "You look great!" And my uncle congratulated me and said he was proud of me. Awww! It's very inspiring and will get me back on track after a long weekend of not worrying about what I eat (yet, I didn't way over indulge as I could have!). Yay!

Congratulations! Nothing like positive feedback from real live people. I have lost 31 lbs. and received similar reactions to people I hadn't seen in awhile. My hubby also told me today that I looked great all through the holidays. That's even better than a scale victory, in my opinion.

Yay for supportive family

That's great, the same thing happened to me... relatives I saw at Thanksgiving couldn't believe how great I looked. Only 20 lbs, but it showed & my husband keeps telling me how great I look, and I love the way he looks at me proudly

Yes, a supportive family helps tremendously! It makes the difficult endeavor of weight loss a little bit easier!
