I don't need compliments regarding my weight and frankly would prefer people not make unsolicited comments about it. I would go so far as to find it a bit offensive. My partner and closest friends get a pass but co-workers (when I had them), strangers, casual acquaintences and family don't. When I was young and too skinny I got a lot of unsolicited comments that I was too thin. As if I didn't already know. Or they'd suggest I was anorexic which was absolutely not the case. I always thought it was rude as I would never dream of telling someone they were fat and should lose a few pounds.
Anyway, this is probably why most people don't comment. They've been taught it's not polite or they don't know how you'd respond so they stay quiet or they've seen you yoyo over the years and figure it's a temporary situation so why say anything.
Now if someone wants to tell me how muscular my arms are looking I'm okay with that.

OMG @ashleycarole86 What you described is EXACTLY what goes through my head! You put it so well. It's the same reason I always have a tendency to not do my regular exercise when we have visitors, it's like I don't want them to think that I have to be exercising because I'm trying to lose weight. It's so silly when you really think about it, but it's those subconscious thoughts that drive our actions a lot of the time. My mum stayed with us for a few months recently and I made a conscious effort to still do my daily exercise regardless!7

Did I exercise at least 20 minutes today? I think I did. For reasons I'll not go into in detail, I walked the dog about a mile and a half this morning. I had a rough night with very little sleep. I did get some additional NEAT in, in part due to the events of the night.
Did I track everything? Yep. (My freggies were the toppings on my cauliflower crust pizza - so barely 1 serving).
Did I stay within calories? Yeah, I did.
Good night/morning/afternoon! Have a good one.7 -

Exercised and tracked but over calories by quite a bit. So pass day 6. Sugar day 8/20. The good news is while I'm having trouble staying within calories, I seem to be maintaining. And I think my pass days will be in the single digits.4

Happy belated, @snowshoe072! And many more!1

Bravo!! @WhatMeRunning ๐๐ฅ๐๐ฅฆ๐Mrs_Hoffer wrote: ยปWhen I'm out on my daily walks, I've made it a habit to smile at passers by, look them right in the eyes and say hi or hello! Most people just don't do that any more.
If I'm walking out on my country roads, I wave at every single car that drives by me. In both cases, probably 90-95% of the people say hi back, and people in the cars wave back (I think this one's closer to 99%!) But if I don't initiate it, most don't speak or wave.

Today, tracking was good. Calories were slightly over and exercise not meeting my rule. But morning of the 21st I was back at that 120.5 weight, so I am obviously not doing damage. Continuing to focus on the efforts and accountability. Today was a "pass"5
