Have you lost weight?!

oxers · May 2014

It happened! Today I got my first spontaneous "Have you lost weight??" question from a co-worker, and the first follow up "You look great! What are you doing?"

I couldn't be happier, because I've honestly felt so far there hasn't been much physical change. It's only fifteen pounds and all. But I realized this morning that the size 18 jeans are falling off me, the size 14 goal shorts I bought for motivation now button comfortably, and now this!

We all know external validation doesn't matter, but I'm surprised at how good it feels. What were your first compliments when you started getting sexy(er)?

This for me was the highlight of this experience. It really feels great when people notice especially when they don't know you are trying. Enjoy the feeling.

I love outside validation. It matters to me; granted, it shouldn't but it does!

I remember getting those compliments; and it was intoxicating. Enjoy!

The best one I ever got was going to a family party and I had not seen my niece's husband in a while - I walked into their house and he didn't recognize me.

From size 18 to 14 is a great accomplishment. If you haven't measured yourself and taken pictures...do it now!

Congratulations! It does feel good.. I have ppl ask me how I do it, first thing putt of my mouth, "my fitness pal" then, I tell them I log everyday, and I exercise more, but that that don't really count. Any way.. I went from 257 pounds to 155 ... size 18 to size 9 in 2 years.
