I just got my first "Are you losing weight?". I haven't heard those sweet words in three years!

Small victory, but the smile on my face won't go away. :happy: I can do this.

    That is the most awesome feeling. Yesterday the CEO of our agency passed by me and said, "So, I can see you are still losing weight - awesome job!" Then I was in our nursing department talking with one of the nurses about a boy we have been having a lot of problems with and the nursing supervisor said, "You are looking really good, Vickie. Wow - the change is unbelievable." I was so excited - I was almost jumping up and down. So, about 34 lbs lost and I'm "looking good." The feeling is euphoric.

    Great job and keep up the awesome work.

    Good job.. I know it is the best feeling and when I started getting comments like that it just motivated me more to push towards my goal.
  • Hey!!
    Quick story (and anyone that knows me will KNOW that 'quick' will be a challenge!!!).... We have lived in our house now for 8 1/2 years. My next door neighbor hasn't spoken to me since we moved in, nor does she wave when she drives right past me, or speak when we pass in the halls at our kids' school functions. (I don't know why...she waves all the time to my hubby...) Anyway, last week I was out walking the dog and she came jogging past me, and actually said to me, "Wow, you are doing a good job losing weight, huh?" Well I thought my JAW would drop! In 8 1/2 years she spoke not a word to me, but those particular words were especially sweet to hear. I guess she was just waiting for the perfect thing to say! THAT WAS IT!!!

    I can just feel for you how excited you were to hear those words. I know we shouldn't have to have our feelings validated, but something like this? Oh, yeah! We want to be validated! CONGRATULATIONS on your weight loss! Keep up the good work!

    Donna! I think she has been intimidated by your awesomeness and it took her 8 1/2 years to get up the courage to speak to you. :flowerforyou:

    What an awesome feeling ... YOU DESERVE IT! This shiz is HARD WORK man ... between the measuring and weighing food and the entering it in your diaries to all the sweating you do (not to mention all that darn water we have to drink) you earned every single one of the compliments that come to you! Hold your head up chica ! You should be proud!
