It feels great when others notice

Options
I started this journey for myself because Im 36 yrs old but I felt older in my body; every joint ached, I could not fit my clothes an dwith this economy I really cant afford new clothes. I am not extremely big and many people can not see why I need and want to lose weight but I do. Since I've started slimming down when ever anyone mention the change I am so proud. I do feel great that I am doing it for me but the compliments make me feel great also. How about you guys?

    Congrats on your ongoing success! It's always uplifting and motivating when someone else notices your changes. It makes you realize the hard work that you put in day in and day out in the gym and with nutrition. Keep it up!

    I especially love it when it comes out of the blue and they compliment how I look. Nice to have my hard work noticed.

    I love getting those compliments I tend to fall of the band wagon every so oftern and when I see the people who always compliment my success motivates me to hop on the band wagon and keep pushing for my weight goal.

    I'm the same way...no one really said anything until I lost 30ish pounds.
