    Getting compliments off people that have never given you a compliment is always worthwhile.

    and when people notice you have lost weight etc. :-)

    Def love the comments from random people in my community! And I have an awesome group of ladies I frequently work out with who are great at cheering everyone on.

    When I was trying on clothes last week, I felt I looked good in the outfit instead of being shocked with how fat I looked like last winter. Also, seeing how my husband looks at me again like when we were first married. I just feel so much better in general to be at a healthy weight.

    Doing my first pushup :-) But then.... doing my first real pull-up!!!! A few seconds to do a pull up was worth the year and a half it took to get there!

    OP - You do look AMAZING!!

    having the SAHM rich moms come up to me at my daughter's school that I look amazing and want to know what I am doing. I was typically the shy wall flower - middle class family in a very rich neighbourhood. I run a homedaycare (so it's me walking 5 baby and toddlers to school each day to get my daughter). All the work has paid off, I have been told by countless moms that I look amazing, have more energy than I should ever have chasing 6 children most days.

    To have these yoga moms come up to ME and ask ME for advice was pretty gratifiying.

    I tried on a dress (not the one in the picture) while shopping with my daughter the other day. I asked her if it was too short for a 50 year old. She replied, "Not for a 50 year old with a butt like that!"

    I've been riding high on that one all week!

    My brother and co-worker have been my biggest supporters, always there with high fives and *ss kicks when I need.
    This journey has been worth it because I'm feeling strong again. Didn't realize that I had lost this until losing weight and joining crossfit and kickboxing; feel like I can take on the world and I've only just begun!!

    Knowing that by paying attention to my health (how much I weigh, how active I am, what I eat, etc.) that I am extending my life.
    Hearing my grown son say how proud he is of me for losing weight (and he's never said that before, not even that he was concerned).
    Having enough energy to get through the day and working all day productively.
    Being frustrated at trying to figure out what size I am now. :-)
    Fewer aches and pains, especially my feet.
    Imagining the possibilities for my future, now and when I retire, which is relatively soon.

    Thanks for the topic and allowing me to count my blessings with you.

    That really is cool - I probably would've cried.

    I like that people I haven't seen for a while call me 'Skinny' as a nickname now :)
