    That's awesome. I just had an elderly couple come into my work (retail) and the elder man first said after I slid over to let them into the aisle that I needed to be thinner. I said I was working on it. (this was after losing my first 10 pounds) and he responded that I should work harder. :-/

    That's an awesome feeling! In all honesty you really want to jump out of your skin and go YES I HAVE LOST WEIGHT! Clicking your heels in the air. It's kinda funny because some people will dance around saying it to you... since weight is one of those things that is a bit sensitive.

    I hate when people are rude like that...maybe he was a grouch cause he's dieting and he's hungry :)

    Oh dude, that's so wrong. That guy is a *kitten*! I bet that old fart thinks he's pretty cute. He probably goes around sassing and trash talking people all day long. I had an old guy "compliment" by backside the other day. He was right about it, but he doesn't need to be saying so. I don't know him! He's not my husband. I was in a mood so I asked him why he thought he could talk that way to a stranger. He said old guys do it because they know they can get away with it. Then he winked and cackled. How rude! :grumble:

    What a NSV that is! Congratulations~

    Even though I'm losing, I am not sure how to respond sometimes. Because I can be my own worst enemy, first I take it as a compliment then THINK too much afterwords- thinking, " obviously they think I'm overweight..." then I get kinda offended ( which is REALLY stupid because I am- period)

    So, that being said, I myself don't know for sure how to best compliment someone else whom I've noticed is losing weight....until one day, I remarked to a friend,
    " You look like you're feeling great, what's up..." Then she proudly shared her slow but steady weight loss journey and I told her it showed in her whole countenance. This journey, I'm learning, is about a total transformation- not just the outside shell.
