Best compliment you've gotten since starting your journey?

The guy I was dating at the time would always tell me how tiny I was, which was like, the best feeling ever. He'd grab my waist and make a show of how small my ribcage is, or he'd wrap his fingers around my wrist and talk about how his fingers overlapped.

As for the other compliments I got (going from 143 to 125), most of them I couldn't decide if they made me happy or not. Literally EVERYONE I knew commented, since I lost the weight over the summer and came back to school much lighter. But it was always, "Wow, you look great now!" or "You look so much better!" I don't think I looked horrible being 143 at 5'5; it just wasn't my usual weight, and college stress and three jobs plus bad eating put it all on.

From the hubby

HUBBY - "I've wanted to say something for a while but I didn't want to hurt your feelings"
ME- "what?"
HUBBY - "Thank you for all of your hard work- you look hot!"
ME - ' Wow! How could that hurt my feelings?? and THANK YOU!!"
HUBBY - "I didn't want you to think that I didn't find you sexy before"

Makes me smile just typing it!

1 year 35 lbs lost I can see my goal weight from where I stand!

i posted mine yesterday but my autistic son ( who normally hates hugs) said " Mum I like it that you have lost weight as it makes it easier for me to hug you"

cutest thing i've read all day!

Since I've been on my Weight Loss Journey, I've lost about 85 lbs..gotten a serious tan (I'm the whitest white girl ever) and cut my hair off and colored it blonde. I even look like a stranger to me. My FACE has lost SO much weight.

I've had more than one person ask me if I'm the 'new employee' at work :P

"You almost look human". Yeah, that's as good as it's gotten.

LOL

i got "You almost look like one human" so i feel your pain.

Someone told me they were jealous of my figure, I've never had a compliment like that before! It felt pretty great.

As I was walking into work the other day, one of the girls said " God, I hardly recognized you walking through the door". I love it!!

"You make me want to throw up less now when you get out of the shower" - Mrs. SofaKingRad.

"You make me want to throw up less now when you get out of the shower" - Mrs. SofaKingRad.

Aww, that is so sweet--I just got a little teary-eyed. :laugh:

My husband always tells me how hot i am but he did that when i was fat too....but he cant keep his hands off of me.....he loves my hip bones, legs and *kitten*!

I like this! My husband can't keep his hands off of me too. He is nice and fit and I often feel as though he could have anyone he chooses and he chose me. I am so thankful and grateful for a loving husband, who is supportive and encourages me to be my best!

I hadn't seen my sister-in-law in about a year and a half since I started exercising and working on my eating habits, and the day I finally saw her she almost cried. She didn't even really say anything outside of "you look amazing"; the shocked look on her face and the way she hugged me were the things that stuck with me. All of the fear she'd had for my health was replaced with pride and joy in ten seconds flat. She actually told me a few weeks ago that I was her inspiration for making the same changes in her life.

I got similar reactions from all of my family members, actually. I made this change for myself, but whenever I feel like I want to throw this entire thing out the window and just stop caring about my weight, I think about all the people I love, and the looks on their faces, and the way the people in my family struggling with weight and self-esteem issues look up to me as an example of just how possible it is if you set your mind to it, and suddenly I feel way better than giving in to any craving ever would.

I got mine last night, but it wasn't verbal

You look so much younger! From my son, daughter and a friend, all separate conversations from each other.

One of the ladies at work calls me slim. After my wife reads this, she'll probably scratch her eyes out.
