Really Cool NSV

I was at work today, and one of my female coworkers (who knows I am trying to lose weight) told me that she can definately tell that I have lose weight. Not only that, she said it has inspired her to try to lose weight, because if I can do it, she can too. I was pretty shocked by this, and didn't know how to respond. (I actually asked her if she was being serious or sarcastic lol) but then I thanked her, and it definately made my day. It is pretty cool to think that my decision to live a healthier lifestyle is having a positive impact on those around me

That is great. Does she know about MFP?

Congrats on your loss and on hers!! I've been in similar situations and part of you isn't sure whether you can believe them or not! You're getting healthy...and that is important.

I am pretty sure I have mentioned mfp in conversation since it is the only method I am using to lose the weight, but I didn't have a specific discussion with her about it. If it comes up again though, I am definately going to recommend it to her.

That's awesome! I think inspiring people to try and get healthier too without telling them anything, or nagging them, etc. is great! Also, yay for her noticing you lost weight

Amazing!! I've had a couple friends tell me that I've inspired them to eat healthier and exercise more and it really is the best feeling in the world to know you inspired someone. Congrats on your loss too!
