    My grandson went to give me a hug the other day and said, "Grandma, I like being able to hug you ALL the way around!" Truly made my day!

    My husband telling me that I have transformed myself in the last year.

    Also a number of people at the gym have made comments about me "melting away" and being told that I have become the "skinny" girl.

    I ran into a friend and she did a double take.

    It does feel good.

    A patient at my office recently said "Oh my God I almost didn't recognize you! You look fantastic, what are you doing? I want to look like you." Who would have thought anyone would want to look like me!

    A neighbor's dad commented, "I'm sorry I didn't say hi to you...I thought you were some young girl taking a walk!" I almost cracked up because I am usually in jeans, but this time had on new shorts that actually fit. And he's 76 and I'm a young 63! :laugh:

    I work freelance and one of my clients is the sort of person who never pays much attention to his surroundings. I was used to work with him every week for quite a long time, about 8 months or so. But I was away from his office for about a month and when I went over to check a few things he looked at me, did a double take and said "You look good, what happened to you? Did you change something?" I told him I had changed the colour of my hair and he said "Oh, but no, that is not it. I'm not quite sure what it is, but you look fantastic!"
    I was very happy and was amused on his air headedness.

    From the hardcore lady in my workout class: I've noticed you looking really good, congrats!

    May just be me, but its a little sweeter coming from someone who is so intensely healthy and fit.

    I was in my boss's office. He complained of being hot, and asked me if I was. I said no, that I was always cold because I've lost a layer of fat.

    He responded with, "You've lost two layers!"

    I saw a fellow co-worker that I haven't seen in a couple months. He went back and told everyone that I use to work with that I looked "great". 4 times!! They had to call me to see if I could stop by and say "Hi" one day. I guess they wanted to see for themselves.

    My family gets pizza every friday night and the girl that has worked there ever since we started going there 7 years ago calls me "skinny minny" now.

    My friend said ' your jeans are getting really baggy at the back! ' These are my new skinny jeans, size 14 UK.

    My massage lady said, 'I can't believe you are 63, you look in your early 50s. ' ! ! !

    Compliments are ego boosts for sure but they really motivate me to work harder in the gym as well. Some of my favs are:

    Friend "Whoa, your lookin HOT!"

    My hair dresser "Dang girl what are you doing, you look like a different person. Your so skinny now I hope your done losing weight."

    Hubby "Geez you feel so small" (as he was hugging me)

    My ultimate FAV is from my youngest daughter who said "Mommy I'm so proud of you, your legs look really muscular & you look great!"

    The other day my mom kissed me and told me she was so proud of me. That one made me smile.

    My 3 yr old saw an old picture of me and said "that's you Mommy when you were old. That's not you now."

    And one I hear often is "My gosh you look just like your sister now!" (She is 5'6 and 135 lbs, I always though she was skinny and id never look like her).

    My favorite are from my co-workers:

    "You are looking so good, I am so proud of you. Now stop...you're making the rest of us look bad. :)"

    "I was walking behind you in the hall and you are looking so skinny!"

    "Working out with your trainer is paying off...you look great!"


    From a Run Club member who hadn't seen me in a couple months"

    "OMG! You look amazing!"

    My own trainer sent me a text one day:

    "BTW..you're looking really skinny...what is the scale telling you?" but I think he may just be fluffing me up. LOL!


    I am very excited to go home and see family on the 4th of July....they haven't seen me since before Christmas. :)

    "When are you going to stop? You don't need to lose more!"- Co-worker
    "I've been watching your transformation since you started but now that you're next to me I can see and WOW! You look great!"- random at the gym
    My personal favourite is the comments I'm getting on how toned my arms and legs are getting and how great my weight lifting progress is going, gotta love being one of the few women in the gym who actually lift. =D

    A woman I care for (as a cna) told me "you have very nice legs, [stinky winkie]" She's a very tiny woman with...gasp...a natural thigh gap and doesn't care for her own leg shape.

    Weirdly enough, my clothes give me some of my best compliments...I don't see the weight loss, but am wearing work clothes that I've not worn in at least a year, many of them more than 2 years and they are very loose on me.

    LOVED reading these!!! Y'all are such an inspiration!!

    My in-laws tell me how proud they are of me.

    One of my regular customers called me "skinny" right after I started loosing. He knows how to make a gal feel confident!!

    One of my college friends told me I inspired her to join MFP!

    Agree!! I love trying on clothes and they actually fit...mine were all getting rather snug!

    I have two fitness competitors that work with me one male and one female. This past week they have both told me that I was looking good. It made me feel good to hear that from someone who take it so seriously.

    Just yesterday a worker, walking behind me, exclaims "Charlotte!! Your butt is shrinking!!" Haha! Totally made me laugh.

    Or forcing me to get a new ID picture because I looked nothing like the person in the existing shot.

    That's a great one!!:smile:

    As a size 8-10, sitting at a table with people who never knew me as a size 16. One girl was describing another girl to me and said "she was tiny, like your size". ??? TINY and ME had never been in the same sentence before. I was ELATED.

    My boyfriend came back from, yet again, another deployment two and a half weeks ago and when he hugged me he said "Oh, I can almost hug myself now even more. You look great babe!"

    Oh...the other day I was sitting on his lap while he was at his desk, and he said "Move forward..." "What!?" "Move forward..." "What for!?" So I did. Then he said, "Your butt bone was getting on my thigh, you're getting too bony" Lmao...oh, yeah!!!!!!

    Yep...that's still my favorite!!!!!
