Encouraged by my patient

I have been working on my new lifestyle since February 18th. My goal is to drop from 260 to 175lbs. So far I have lost 10 lbs.

Today at work one of my patients that I have not seen in about 6 months looked at me and said OMG girl what have you been doing. You look great!

I was so thrilled that even though I'm not near my goal end point yet, people are already noticing my efforts. What a great motivator.

    Congrats on losing 10lbs so far, and isn't it great when other people notice our efforts? it definitely is very motivating and encouraging. I think it is the best motivator, to be honest - getting compliments from people, and having others notice the difference, because sometimes we can't really notice it ourselves! good luck reaching your goal, you're well on your way! :)
