Wonderful NSV! I went out to the bars with a friend of mine that lived in Ohio for a few drinks. We met up with a bunch of my friends that I haven't seen in a few months and they were all amazed at how different I look! One actually asked "did you get funnier since you have lost weight??" -- my response? i just feel more comfortable now in a big group of people! Instead of standing in the shadows and trying not to be noticed I have broken out of my little shell and became the life of the party- it was invigorating!!
Then (and this is the NSV I mentioned) we were leaving the bar and i noticed a boy I had a HUGE crush on in highschool, I was still way to shy to walk up and say hi, but as I passed I heard him say to a friend "is that Jenna??- dude, she looks good!"
Needless to say, I was on a confidence high the rest of the night and could barely sleep. I can't wait till I get to my goal weight!

Side note: I have never judged myself on how other people see me and I am losing weight and being healthier for ME- no one else- but sometimes a little compliment can go a long way. :)

Good Luck on everyone's goals! We can do it!!

    This is brilliant news. Compliments will boost your confidence and will give you motivation to carry on with what you are doing.

    Well done you! Keep it up!

    Are you kidding! That is awesome! Not that you lost weight just to hear compliments, but they are a huge perk for all the work you have done. You should have talked to him because I bet he would have been really complimentary to your face. Congrats! That is a HUGE NSV!

    It is true that words bring life or death, a wonderful compliment has us on cloud nine, but a bad word is a drag on the soul, no matter what people say ;-) so proud of you, :-)

    A guy you had a crush on in high school saying something like that is surely the ultimate right? Yes I know we are doing it for ourselves, but that's like something from a movie. :) I would lovvve that to happen to me (hopefully one day it will) - congrats on all your progress.
