I told a lady at the gym she inspires me...

... And I think she nearly cried.

Almost a year ago, when I first started at the gym she told me she'd lost 28kg and that I could too.

Tonight she told me she's now lost 48kg.

What an inspiration!

    Compliments in the gym are the nicest thing to hear - specially when you see people a fair amount.

    A personal trainer told me that I looked great the other day and someone else asked me 'how I got my abs' not stomach ABS. I was buzzing after those compliments :)

    I recently told someone that they have inspired me as well! I think it is important to let them know! If something that someone has said/done has made that big of an impact on someone else, they should be told! Makes me think of the movie "its a wonderful life!"

    that's awesome! You are almost to where she was when she first inspired you. Just think, you may inspire someone else as you continue your progress. Good for you for letting her know. You probably made her week!

    Thanks guys.

    I actually walked past her, wanted to tell her but thought it might be weird. But I thought it might give her a thrill so I doubled back to tell her.

    I've only seen her at the gym maybe, 4 or 5 times, but I always remember her telling me that if she could, I could too.
