What a difference one week makes!!

One week ago today, I posted the "When will they notice?" From as early as mere hours AFTER I posted that and all the way up into this afternoon, I have been getting several compliments about how much I have lost all week long. The girls at work keep telling me over and over that I have, "REALLY lost some weight!!" My mother and my aunt keep asking me what weight loss plan I am following, how much I exercise and what food I have been eating. They are constantly calling and texting me how great I look and asking if I am on diet pills. My mother-in-law just said today, "You are clearly losing weight, are you just not eating!?" I just find it so funny that hardly anyone said anything until I got it off my chest on a post on here. I know that I have a really long way to go,(I plan to lose another 50 pounds), but it makes me feel great to hear, "What are YOU doing to get so skinny!?" In my family, anyone who is dropping any weight at all is "getting skinny." -Not too many skinny folks in my family, so even though you're still very LARGE, you really get doted on when you lose weight.- I loved seeing everyone's feedback on my previous post. This place is a great outlet and people are very honest with their opinions and they shoot it to you straight. MFP is the best thing I could have ever found and I plan to stick with this even when I reach my goal weight. ***Nothing gives me the motivation I need like hearing such nice things from my family and thinking to myself, -If they think I'm starting to look good now, just wait until I push and get down to my goal!!-*** : smile:

You know what? You deserve it! You've clearly worked your butt off & have made a great loss. That is ironic, tho. Enjoy the NSV!
