from last year noticed my weight loss. She stopped by and looked confused and said "Ms. Prieto?" I said "Yes?" It was like she almost didn't recognize me.

She was so happy for me. She told she I was looking so good and asked if I was dieting. I explained I was doing a life style change and she said to keep doing it and that I looked really good and she was super happy for me. It was really nice to have her say that. She saw me last year at 180 pounds; basically, I've lost about 24 pounds. I didn't realize it was that noticeable. I had a very happy moment. :)

P.S. I just did the math - technically - before MFP - I lost a few so it's really like 26 pounds I lost as opposed to what the ticker says.

    You know you're doing it for YOUR reason but man it feels good when someone else notices the changes! I'm so happy for you!

    It was pretty neat and makes me want to keep it up. Like you said, it's meant for me as a healthy life style change - not a diet. But, it sure is nice to get such a cool compliment.

    That is so exciting! My kids have been out living their lives. They came back and both carried on about how good I looked over Thanksgiving. It is great motivation for me to again concentrate on my lifestyle changes. I'm right there with you. It's great to have MFP friends share their successes!:wink:

    That is awesome! I have experienced the same thing. A lot of people don't recognize me until I say something to them. Mind you, the hair style change doesn't help either (short to chin length bob).

    I'm thinking of changing my hair but I thought I'd wait till I lose a little more weight. I haven't decided how to style it. I have it all one length right now so I may go for long layers. Either way, change is good!
